Anita invites you to keep an open heart and mind. Be willing to expand into yourself to discover the divine potential within you. You are a gift.
Anita’s yoga journey began in the 90s with a dedicated personal practice to balance an active outdoor recreational lifestyle. In 2010, while pregnant with her second child, she and her husband decided they needed a life change and moved from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to Tempe, Arizona. Once life felt settled in a new place with a new baby, she knew in her heart that returning to her graphic designer profession of 25 years was not a fulfilling option anymore. She wanted to shift into wellness but was unsure of what that looked like. Her primary focus was on being a mom to two kids, so she decided to allow whatever was meant for her to simply show up. That’s how a yoga teacher training program found her. She was looking for a yoga studio to reignite her practice, and when she arrived for her first class, the lobby displayed a large banner advertising a 200Hr Yoga Teacher Training starting in the Fall. This was a loud and clear message of what her next journey would be. She obtained her 200Hr YTT in 2013 with Inner Vision Yoga in Tempe.
Currently, she is a registered certified yoga teacher, and continuing education provider, as well as a licensed massage therapist.
Her yoga toolbox is simple: mindfulness, and deep listening to achieve an “instant pause and reset” technique that can be done anywhere, anytime you need it. Move away from trying to “achieve” and move into a space of having an “experience.” Each movement is an opportunity to practice paying attention to your body in an open and nourishing way. Listen, just as your breath meets you, meet yourself. She encourages growth and discovery at your own pace and to have fun, one breath at a time.
Her journey and practice have taught her how to pay close attention to her body, mind, and heart to allow for her healing and self-growth while recovering from injuries, illness, trauma, and grief. We all need nurturing support; we deserve it. She loves settling in with her husband and two kids during her free time, enjoys outdoor adventures, bonding with nature, creating DIY projects, and aromatherapy.
“Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.” – The Bhagavad Gita
