“Meditation for the Real World Teacher Training opened up a BRAND NEW WAY for me to guide others to successfully meditate in their real world life scenarios and situations! For this, I am extremely thankful! ❤️

I received extremely positive feedback on my meditation recording. Many said “it works”; “teacher’s voice is trusting”; “help me feel refresh upon awakening”; “I placed on my phone to have at all time”.

Run, don’t walk to sign up for the training! It’s so useful and needed in the real world… by so many, including yourself!”

“I would certainly recommend this training to anyone who wants to experience a path to healing, discipline and peace in life. Ann has been an amazing teacher because she is professional, clear and concise. I especially enjoyed the detailed explanation of each topic with scripts of each meditation.

My favorite section was learning to write my own meditation script. It has helped me build confidence. I would encourage anyone considering this training to make time for yourself as this training is not to be missed.”

“My favorite part was the application and explanation of the music and the frequencies that can aid with the meditations. Initially, I was concerned I might not be able to keep my schedule clear to attend the trainings, but all of them were recorded, so that helped a lot.

After taking the training, I now feel more connected with my body, and loving-kindness to self. I recommend this training, because Ann is an excellent detailed and focused presenter.”

“Thanks to the SCIENCE OF YOGA course I understand more deeply why I teach what I teach and how I teach it. It's fired my curiosity even further especially around teaching safely and accessibly. I also understand better how I can get more from my own practice and prevent unnecessary injury.”

SCIENCE OF YOGA Course Student

“A course full of useful knowledge about our body and mind. The whole course is based on scientific research, and Ann embodies all of this knowledge. She seems to live it, to love and to feel it. This course really helps me to understand the benefits that I strongly feel of my personal yoga practice.”

“Ann inspires her students of all ages and health conditions.

She adapts practices to be in a chair, wheel chair, or even in a hospital bed for those who need it. I have seen her teach people simple practices they can do in their hospital bed while recovering from surgery. These small things make a BIG difference.

She teaches students with cancer how to get through the pain, calm their minds, and find ease. Simple breathing practices and movements help immensely and Ann makes them practical to do in recovery.”

Nurse at facility where Ann taught

“Ann’s teaching skills have helped even people with advanced arthritis, dementia, and cancer to safely do the movements. She uses just the right amount of praise and encouragement to keep them involved. Tai chi and mindfulness meditation has been a calming and relaxing activity for our clients. At the end of sessions, clients are calm and happy with a feeling of success.

Ann calls clients by name and interacts with them individually, which gives them much needed validation. She has a sincere interest in each person. Her entire presentation is calming and accepting. Our program is very grateful to Ann for successfully introducing tai chi and mindfulness to our program.”

Memory Care

“As a board-certified surgeon, I recommend a comprehensive program for a healthy weight. Yoga with Ann has been an integral part of our fitness program at the clinic. During her 5+ years at our center, Ann was instrumental in creating a challenging therapeutic yoga class, while helping our patients feel comfortable right from the start. Many of our patients have limitations due to weight or joint issues but Ann was always ready to provide modifications to ensure that they could benefit from a pose without pain.

Ann has achieved a level of poise and professionalism that is often difficult to master. Combine this with her extensive experience and you understand why she would be a wonderful addition to any practice!”

“Ann is not only an expert in her areas, I consider her to be a “great teacher”. Great teachers hold students’ attention through subject mastery, skillful lesson design, actions that demonstrate caring, and an honesty that reveals their individual personality. Ann is this type of teacher. She also shows a keen eagerness to grow by constantly taking courses and training to expand her knowledge.”

— Sheri
Fitness Director at Riverside Retirement Community

“Since starting yoga with Ann, I cannot believe this is my body. I can move better now—at the age of 60—than I could at the age of 40! I was intimidated by yoga but always secretly wanted to do it. Several years ago, I broke both of my legs in an accident on my horse, resulting in surgeries and pain. Ann is so compassionate, not to mention bright and knowledgeable about the human body. She took the time to get to do a full assessment of me in the beginning. Then, she tailored poses for MY key areas. I feel so much stronger and better. I was hesitant about doing this online, but I can’t imagine driving to a studio anymore. This way is more personal and just easier with my busy schedule. I feel as if Ann is in the room with me!”

“I am 95 and I am amazed that I can do most of the moves. I have noticed the improvement in myself and in the people who live in the retirement facility with me as they do tai chi and yoga with Ann. A lot of people around me who have deteriorating health and can’t even speak surprised me by responding so well to Ann’s classes. Ann builds a great relationship with the students and she seems to understand their needs and know just how to relate to them. Class is a nice opportunity to have my friend Betty close to me to meet new friends. I am so grateful to have Ann here because she makes us feel talked with and not just talked at.”

“My doctors are so enthusiastic that I am doing yoga and see the benefits! The thing that I enjoy most about Ann, particularly with her work with people with health problems, is her gentle way of encouraging us to push ourselves but at the same time protect ourselves. Even her warm greeting and kind words adds so much to the positive atmosphere. The fact that she has has the opportunity to be educated in India and around the world in this makes me value her teaching even more. My career was spent evaluating teachers and Ann is indeed a great teacher!”

— Jackie

“I do group classes, but having the one-on-one restorative yoga in my home with Ann is so valuable. Over the past year, I have been able to refine my poses. I started doing many poses, like the sun salutations, with the aid of a chair as a beginner, but now I can do it on the floor--with joy! I love how she uses technology, including recording audio and video on my phone so I do not forget what I learned. It has also been a unique situation in that Ann also taught my mom in very special, memory-care classes. It is so nice to know we have that connection.”

“I have heart failure disease and had tried yoga before but was previously frustrated because of the pacing and discomfort. Ann designed a program that was safe, pain-free, and helped with strength and flexibility—without leaving me breathless. The classes with Ann were convenient and fun. Even my dog benefited from joining us! ”

“I have been a professional rider for 40 years. I had a lot of injuries that resulted in arthritis in my back and knees and I felt embarrassed to do yoga in a class. Ann's kindness and expertise immediately drew me to her. I have been afraid about my knee replacement but developed a plan with Ann to modify the poses in the chair and bed. She used meditation with me to help me overcome fears and anger. I never thought I would be drawn to yoga but Ann has opened up a whole new world for me to heal from pain!”

“I truly appreciate Ann because she cares about the WHOLE person. My wife and daughter agree that yoga has taken my stress level down… Way down!!! It has helped me spiritually and physically. Doing yoga weekly keeps me focused on my weight loss goal.”
