  • Anna Geranina
    Hi, I’m Anya. My yoga journey began four years ago in Nepal, where I discovered the powerful effects of yoga on mental and physical well-being.

    In my classes, I offer a balanced flowing practice that combines basic yoga asanas with gentle full-body movements. The emphasis on noticing sensations and deepening body awareness is key, helping practitioners connect more deeply with their physical and mental state. Each class ends with a deep relaxation practice, also known as a body scan meditation.

I’ve explored various physical activities like horse riding, swimming, skiing, pilates, and kickboxing.

    Yoga is my latest passion, offering balance, discipline, and inner peace. In my classes we write our personal yogic stories, and learn to listen to the one and only friend we have on earth – our inner self. Through performing various asanas, breath work (Pranayama), and meditation, you will practice patience, self-love and gratitude. I have learnt that yoga is more than a bodily performance, it provides an unforgettable inner journey to reconnect with the self.
