Anna Kalyani
I am Anna Kalyani, yoga teacher and therapist and student shiatsu practitioner. At 24 I had an experience which revealed the deep trauma in my life. The path towards balance has opened up a world of interesting and inspiring avenues which fill my daily life, I am very grateful for this trauma, it has brought God back into my life and set the art of healing as my soul purpose, joy and service. I am passionate about sharing the knowledge and success I have found in my healing journey with others. This has propelled me into doing many hundreds of hours practising yoga and the healing art of shiatsu.
From a young age I was actively involved and passionate about sports, horse-riding and music. I first discovered yoga in my late teens, I enjoyed the benefits it had on my other sports; improving my long distance running and swimming and the effect on my general well-being as well as relaxation, meditation and breathe work. In 2014 I did my first 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Spain. After the training I went on to teach Yoga, breath-work meditation, chanting and help with cooking wholesome Vegan/ Vegetarian food in Teacher Trainings annually for 5 years. I offer a variety of yoga classes to individuals or groups, dynamic energetic classes, incorporating Chinese meridian stretching, yoga therapy, restoration and healing as well as Vipassana Yoga. I am influenced by the Sivinanda Vedanta School, where I am a qualified teacher, as well as the Iyengar and Asthanga schools. Since 2015 I have been a student of Shiatsu & Traditional Chinese Medicine, studying and offering shiatsu.
True healing comes from within ourselves, from a deep honest dialogue with the self. This healing requires opening the walls around the heart and engaging with a different perspective. A perspective which allows the ego to drop the ‘I’ in the wound and begin to see how we can grow, evolve, learn, share and give. Life is impermanent and nothing will last forever, this is dharma (law). If we move beyond our suffering we realise how much we can help others to move beyond theirs. When we live in the present without trauma we truly live with aliveness. I am passionate in empowering others to re-awaken their natural joy and aliveness, here and now.
