After her second child was born, she found it challenging to balance everything in her life. That’s when she discovered that she could practice with her children and share the benefits of yoga with them. In 2008, Anna completed Helen Garabedian’s Baby, Tot and Tyke Itsy Bitsy Yoga® training so that she can help parents bond with their little ones through the gift of yoga. In 2009, she became a Registered Yoga Teacher after completing Yoga Studio Be’s 200 hour Advanced Studies and Teacher Training program, and has also completed a Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training with Colette Crawford.
