About Ana
“I first discovered my love for yoga with a Rodney Yee VHS yoga video at age 12. That discovery has continued to guide me through the constant vinyasa of life with over 26 years of practicing and over 12 years of teaching. I have studied many forms of yoga with leading teachers in Chicago, Los Angeles and New York but while living in LA, I found my teacher; Mark Whitwell, founder of The Heart of Yoga. Rooted in the teachings of Sri Krishnamacharya, the Heart of Yoga principles hit home with me more than anything else. Studying with Mark for over 4 years in LA, I received my 500 hour teacher certification on a spiritual pilgrimage and training in India. Since then, I have been traveling and teaching with Mark Whitwell, as his assistant and guest teacher at places like Esalen, Bali Spirit Fest, Omega Institute, Kripalu, Telluride Yoga Festival and many more. Upon moving back to Tulsa, I have taught yoga classes and workshops at Be Love, The Yoga Room, I AM Yoga, Everyone Yoga School and Salt Yoga. Yoga is many things but its essence is simply the relaxation and participation in our own life, and the yoga practice helps us relax and integrate into our bodies so that we can fully show up and participate in our life. My approach to teaching starts with the heart, is centered around the breath, giving each student a full mind/body/spirit experience. Tapping into the hidden emotions and stagnant energy stuck in the body, in class we have an opportunity to become our own alchemist and transform what does not serve us into energy that does. I welcome all to my class, from beginners to advanced and especially the skeptical! I do not teach a ‘cookie cutter yoga’ or an ‘instagram pose’ yoga type of class. No fancy yoga pants required and you don’t have to touch your toes. Come as you are and let’s create a space for you to find your own practice that is specific to where and who you are.”
