About

If not now, when? Annie wanted to “be” the summer Nanny to her four children and teach YOGA! So she did. In June 2014, she quit her full-time job to follow her bliss and be a full-time Mom and a part-time yoga teacher.

Annie attributes yoga to shaping her life in immeasurable ways. Taking her first yoga class 22 years ago with instructor, Priscilla Humphrey, not only brought the love of yoga to this new Mom, but also introduced Annie to the Waldorf community and philosophy. Annie’s children attend or have graduated from Meadowbrook Waldorf School. 

Committing to a practice and falling in love with Baptiste methodology, Annie became an RYT200 and then E-RYT500 after completing a 300 hour yoga teacher Recovery Yoga Teacher Training. Annie is a certified Baptiste Educator and studied with her teacher Baron Baptiste at the Menla Retreat Center, as well as Baptiste Programs; Art of Assisting, Advanced Art of Assisting, Being of Power, True North Alignment and with Baron in Boston, Day of Immersion. She is registered with Yoga Alliance as an Instructor and Yoga School Founder. Annie also trained with Bo Forbes, Yoga for Emotional Balance, at Kripalu. Annie has undertaken Baron Baptiste’s 40 Days To Personal Revolution too many times to count.
