Anna’s movement journey began with studying classical ballet from the young age of seven while growing up in New Mexico, USA. She earned her BFA in Ballet and Modern Dance from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas, then went on to pursue a career as a professional dancer, instructor, choreographer, and director. As a dancer, Anna was first introduced to yoga and Pilates in her teens as a means for cross training and injury prevention. In 2018, she completed the BASI Pilates Mat and Comprehensive Teacher Training programs and has taught in New Mexico, Colorado, and Ireland.
In 2024, Anna briefly moved to Cork, Ireland, where she completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training with Himalaya Yoga Valley Centre and taught both Pilates and yoga in the HYV studios in Cork. Currently living in the USA, Anna is excited to share her knowledge and enthusiasm for Pilates with the Alaya Yoga community.
