About Multi-Week Yoga Sessions
My yoga classes are structured and offered as multi-week sessions as I believe that weekly classes with a committed student group and progressive instruction are the best model for teaching and learning yoga. That said, I recognize that not everyone has the time and means to sign up for a multi-week session, Drop-in classes are available at some locations.

Annie's teaching incorporates these essential elements of yoga:

WISDOM TEACHINGS
Annie brings her 25 years of yoga study and practice into her teaching.  She is known for skillfully bringing to life the deep wisdom of Ayurveda and yoga in a fresh and accessible way.
EMBODIED PRACTICE
Inspired by the many teachers and styles she has studied, particularly Anusara and Iyengar, Annie's teaching is based on sound bio-mechanical alignment and attention to individual needs.
MANTRA + PRANAYAMA
The recitation of mantra and the employment of pranayama (breath techniques) offers the practitioner tools to uplift and rejuvenate the body-mind and prepare for meditation.
GUIDED MEDITATION
A long time practitioner in the Neelakantha meditation, Annie specializes in teaching mantra based meditation, a simple and effective practice for stress reduction and spiritual evolution.

What students say...

Annie brings in an energy that is infused with calm, peace and reassurance. When Annie shares her wisdom there is a degree of balanced passion and fire with the soothing comfort of reassurance. Annie's body language is comforting and gentle, her voice is soft and flows eloquently. There is beauty in the choice of words and confidence behind the message she shares. In Annie's presence, I feel enthusiastic, energized, optimistic and centered. All these qualities make my practice in her space a productive and efficient one, both physically and spiritually.  Annie's energy is unique in its nature thanks to her genuine caring, reaching out and enthusiasm to share with others."
- Jasmin Dickerson

Annie Barrett guides with a highly experienced, confident teaching approach that channels confidence to her students.  Her own practice is informed with earnest study that she shares in concise teachings grounded with examples from life.  Her classes are a satisfying blend of story, chant, asana, and good humor. 
- Stephanie

Annie's classes are heartfelt, honest, and uplifting. In receiving her instruction, one is driven to look inward while tuning our outward asanas with determination and fine instruction. Through communication and  thoughtful alterations, Annie's classes are challenging and well tailored to meet the needs of students of all levels. Her classes offer nourishment for the body, heart, and mind. 
- Biancana Brown

"Annie’s classes have a nice balance of alignment instruction and heart opening exploration that allow students to safely explore their edge and go deeper into their true Self.  In addition to asana, Annie exposes her students to pranayama (breath work), meditation and a little bit of philosophy into each of her classes. It is her dedication to all 8 limbs of yoga that makes me want to drive an hour and a half to attend her classes."
