Hi, I’m Ann.

I’m totally in awe of the human body, the mysteries of mind-body science, and the profound effects of yoga.

I earned a Master of Science in Yoga Therapy and am the author of SCIENCE OF YOGA, which has been translated into over 15 languages.

I make the tools of mindful movement and meditation non-intimidating and accessible worldwide, especially to people who feel like they can’t do yoga or their mind is too busy to meditate. I specialize in helping people safely and effectively manage stress and relieve chronic pain, like back pain or arthritis.

Ultimately, my purpose is to spread the research-backed benefits of yoga, making the practices more accepted in mainstream settings like hospitals and schools. The scientific evidence is key for helping to make yoga accessible to more folks who can benefit!
