Ananya Iyer is a 28-year-old yoga teacher from India whose presence feels instantly grounding. Her voice is soft yet steady, carrying the quiet confidence of someone rooted in practice rather than performance. Raised in a home where mornings began with incense, silence, and prayer, Ananya grew up absorbing the rhythms of breath, mantra, and stillness. Yoga was never a trend for her - it was a way of living. Over time, her practice moved beyond physical asana into the subtler realms of Yoga Nidra, breathwork, & nervous-system restoration. Having studied in the UK, she witnessed firsthand the pressures of modern, achievement-driven life. That contrast eventually led her back to India, where she completed her yoga teacher certification in Kerala, immersing herself in traditional yogic teachings. Ananya teaches with simplicity and warmth, blending ancient wisdom with a modern understanding of stress, sleep, and emotional overload. She believes rest is sacred & that deep sleep is not something to be forced, but gently invited. Her sessions are for those who feel overstimulated, exhausted, or disconnected. With calm pacing, intentional pauses & respect for silence, she guides listeners away from effort and into effortless awareness. She doesn’t rush. She doesn’t over-explain. She lets silence do its work. When Ananya speaks, the body listens. When she guides, the mind softens. And slowly, without struggle, rest arrives.
