Anna specialises in restorative yoga, having been one of the first yoga teachers in the UK to offer this style. Originally from the US, Anna is now based in Leicestershire, UK.

Anna is one of my favourite teachers of all time. She is a teacher's teacher as well as has the ability to keep things simple and straight talking. It was in her restorative classes that I had the "restorative light bulb moment". As I have gotten older, having a restorative practice and a meditation practice has been essential to my mental and physical self-care practice.Anna has the ability to explain the benefits of the restorative practice and understand how important it is to pay attention to the nervous system in such a way that you shift your perspective. We have spent our life time learning how important "doing" is. Anna is reminding us of the importance of "being".This book is a wonderful book to keep in your library as a teacher and as a practitioner.
