private work
Individual sessions offer the time and focus to look closely at how you move, how you organize effort and ease in your body, and how those patterns may impact you in physical practice or daily life.
You may come with a specific question, recurring pain or an injury, or simply want to understand your body or your physical practice more clearly. I begin in an exploratory way, using gentle movement to notice where there may be an imbalance of effort or awareness, where limitations are present, or where habitual patterns are no longer helpful.
The movements we explore offer your body a chance to find a different sense of organization and center. After a session, most clients benefit from incorporating one or two of the movements that proved most useful into a regular practice. I provide a guided video and follow-up support as part of every private session.
Most often the work begins in the physical realm, but it does not always end there. When people have a glimpse of what is possible to change or adapt in their bodies, possibility in other areas of life can become clearer.
Please reach out by email or text before booking your first session.
“Anya’s yoga focuses on small movements that help me become aware of much bigger patterns in my body. This has helped me realize how my body likes to move and be, allowing me to find more relaxation and ease as I go through life. It’s super interesting to learn about my body in this way, and I feel that this bodily awareness makes me less anxious and happier.”
“Anya baut ihre Yogastunden sehr sorgfältig auf, hat einen präzisen Blick für die individuellen Schwierigkeiten und unterstützt dabei, sich den blinden Flecken anzunähern. Ich schätze sehr, dass sie Zusammenhänge erklärt und erfahrbar macht und ermuntert nicht einfach zu kopieren, sondern zu erkunden wo was ist möglich. Herzlichen Dank Dir !!!”
“I'm 68 years old. In April 2024, I began experiencing significant sciatic nerve pain. In past years I had surgery and then injections to alleviate the pain - but it always came back eventually. After four months of working with Anya online, I am pain free. I have not used any drugs, injections or surgeries. I only did the movements that Anya suggested.”
“I suffer from chronic back pain that has kept me from engaging many things in my life. Her techniques, encouragement, and focus on mind-and-body connections and gentle movement has been incredibly impactful [in a short amount of time]--and her focus on the process and incremental changes makes her approach practical for me in my day-to-day hectic life.”
“4 months before I started attending Anya’s classes, I was flat on my back with a back injury and could not move for 2 days. I also had 8 years of foot problems, plantar fasciitis, and repeated injuries which orthotics eased symptoms but did not address underlying issues. 4 months into Anya’s classes, my lower back and foot problems were completely gone, and I’ve never looked back. Now 1.5 years into consistently attending Anya’s yoga classes, I’m training for my first Olympic triathalon and have been injury free for the longest stretch of time in 10 years.”
“Anya is a rare teacher who incorporates the latest research on movement, neuroscience, and mindfulness into beautifully sequenced classes. As a yoga teacher, I am discerning about who I study with and I'm grateful to have found Anya's online offerings to re-inspire and advance my practice.”
“I have taken yoga classes with Anya on and off for the past 7 years. I appreciate how her yoga teaching style and my yoga practice have evolved and aligned over time. Her knowledge of anatomy and how the body is connected is vast and she incorporates that into her classes in an understandable and accessible way. I enjoy how she gives the time to explore how movements, big and small, feel in my body. She is also incredibly aware and attentive to her students and is quick to offer modifications if needed.”
