Hatha Yoga

“As an absolute beginner, I have found Anna’s classes to be a wonderful introduction to yoga. The classes are well structured, both suiting and challenging all abilities. Attending the classes each week is a healthy resolution I have no trouble keeping!”

Claire, Corporate Client, Barbican

"Anna's classes are the highlight of my week! She is friendly, approachable and I leave every class relaxed and energised and always feel the benefits in the
days that follow.”

Helen, corporate client, Barbican

“Having one-to-one yoga sessions with Anna is a great way to organise a private class at a time and place that best suits me”

“I do feel relaxed and energised for the week ahead and I have also enjoyed the opportunity of spending a bit of time with colleagues that I don’t normally ‘meet’ on a day-to-day basis”

Pregnancy Yoga

“Thank you so much for such a wonderful class. Thanks for being a brilliant teacher and for making every week fun and relaxing at the same time. I have to tell you the breathing helped an incredible amount through the (C-section) operation. The anaesthetist said I was exceptionally calm and couldn’t believe how together I was! All down to the yoga relaxations so I have to thank you”

Sarah, Pregnancy Yoga

“I really enjoyed the class last night. I got home and felt the relaxing effects a big glass of red wine would’ve given me!’

Vicky, Pregnancy Yoga

I managed the first 10 hours of labour at home doing your yoga and breathing exercises - so thank you very much!”

Anna, Pregnancy Yoga

“Highly recommended and I am so grateful for all the exercises you provided for labour”

Lucy, Pregnancy Yoga

"Anna's calming voice should be piped into every delivery room in the country. Her words of encouragement and yogic wisdom really helped me through my labour.”

Lisa, Pregnancy Yoga

“Pregnancy yoga helped with my breathing throughout labour. I found the weekly session really relaxing. Anna made us feel very welcome and small class sizes made you feel like you are receiving private tuition.”

Fiona, Pregnancy Yoga

“I started pregnancy yoga at 20 weeks and continued right up until my due date. I loved the exercises and felt energised and thoroughly relaxed afterwards. The breathing practiced in class really helped in delivery too.”

Rachel, Pregnancy Yoga

“As a second time mum I found the yoga classes to be my weekly tonic. I didn't suffer with the same lower back and hip pains that I'd had with my first pregnancy.  I looked forward to that hour every week as it was always a delightful blend of energising and relaxing.”

Katie, Pregnancy Yoga

“You’re a natural teacher”

Carla, Pregnancy Yoga

“I want to thank you for your part in us achieving our birth plan as I truly believe the yoga helped baby get into an optimal position and helped me feel relaxed and composed throughout my pregnancy and labour. I really, really loved the sessions - thank you for making them lovely.”

Yasmin, Pregnancy Yoga

“Anna's birth specific exercises and birthing sequence I was able to follow during labour resulted in the drug free water birth that I had always wanted. I cannot recommend Anna more highly as she creates a wonderfully reassuring and positive atmosphere in her classes in which to prepare for birth and I am still in contact with friends that I met through her classes with babies the same age”

Lucy, Pregnancy Yoga

“The breathing techniques we used in class really helped! I also used the positions on all fours for most of the contractions”

Sama, Pregnancy Yoga

“Anna, I spent a lot of time on all 4's wiggling my hips and I was ever so grateful for having learned how to breath properly! That golden breath was invaluable - thank you!”

Penni, Pregnancy Yoga

“30 hours with no drugs and a lot of yoga breathing and visualising.”

Hannah, Pregnancy Yoga

“I've really enjoyed our yoga sessions and am so pleased I went from 12 weeks. I look forward to coming to baby yoga in the future”

Vicky, Pregnancy Yoga

“I am much enjoying your classes - a real escape from the day-to-day world, which is wonderful!"

Maryam, Pregnancy Yoga

“Lovely class last night – I slept SO well”

Angharad, Pregnancy Yoga

“Pethadine completely stopped my contractions so I was told to walk around to get things going again... this is where you would have been very proud... I spent the next 1-2 hours doing as much yoga as I could remember - it worked!”

Nicola, Pregnancy Yoga

“Just wanted to say thanks again for the classes - I have really enjoyed them and they have really helped me to relax throughout my pregnancy.”

Molly, Pregnancy Yog

“Thanks for an amazing 22 weeks of classes”

Charlotte, Pregnancy Yoga

“I attended Anna's pregnancy yoga and her yoga birth rehearsal workshop, both of which I found invaluable during my labour experience.”

Shelia, Pregnancy Yoga & Birth Rehearsal

“I'm really enjoying your classes and am feeling better than ever for them! I don't know why I didn't try yoga years ago...”
