Anya has been a student of yoga since 2013 and a teacher since 2018 when she completed her 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in Costa Rica with Reflections Yoga.
Anya was a competitive ballroom dancer through out her childhood and was always drawn to the beautiful physical part of yoga. When she began experiencing muscle and spinal injuries, it was not possible to move through some of those poses with ease. Experiencing physical and emotional trauma introduced Anya to the spiritual aspects of yoga that allowed for connection to the breath and forgiveness of the mind. With this new discovery and the help of her teachers, she found Anya Satya Yoga.
Anya Satya Yoga focuses on moving from truth and compassion. “Satya” is one of the five yamas studied in Yoga and is loosely defined as truth. We often want to move with the intention of looking a certain way or meditate with the intention to feel a certain way. By acknowledging our truth and meeting it with compassion, we can move with more freedom and build a strong honest foundation that can take our bodies and minds further than ever before.
What Students Are Saying
“Anya’s directions are detailed and accurate, offering the necessary guidance in poses and flows for participants whose previous exposure to yoga has varied broadly. The guidance has always been supportive and motivational, the teacher is very encouraging of trying ‘something new’ with a strong emphasis on the safety and respect to your body. All classes I took felt safe and inspiring.”

“ Best yoga classes, learned a lot, from basic movements, cat/cow I’ve been doing wrong for over 10 years. I especially appreciated the music choice and new breathing exercises. Anya always has clear instructions, a clear voice, adjusted and modified exercises to different groups. I got a deeper understanding and appreciation. I’m looking forward to more classes! ”
