Anaya discovered the physical practice of yoga in 2007, but it wasn’t until returning to therapy after a nervous system breakdown that she learned the true power of yoga. In 2018, two years after a breakdown that landed her in an ER unable to speak, Anaya became a yoga teacher. From her studies, she learned that trauma is stored in the cells of the body & how the practice of yoga is an incredible modality for trauma recovery. Learning this, she attended 200 hour yoga teacher training with an Ashtanga base that emphasizes alignment & spent the next year mentoring under a senior yoga instructor. She then completed 300 hour yoga teacher training in 2019, with an emphasis on therapeutic yogic management to help people address their specific health imbalances. After becoming a 500 RYT, Anaya received her trauma-informed yoga certification & sound healing certification. It is her calling to support people through grief, trauma recovery, & in building healthier relationships with themselves, loved ones, & with their community. She is also a certified Recovery Support Specialist for mental health & addiction support. She seeks to foster a sense of safety, empowerment, & community. Anaya offers private sessions, family/small group sessions, workshops, trainings, retreats, & special events. Yoga has been instrumental in her own process of recovery, helping her to be a better mother, wife, & human being. She considers it an honor to support others on their journey, too.
