Annie began practicing yoga on the beaches of Kauai with her sister. Shortly after they began, the two girls discovered a Bikram studio and devoted themselves to attending classes every day. The years that followed brought her to the Bahamas where she developed a strong self practice by experimenting with different styles including Vinyasa, Power Vinyasa, Anusara, and meditation. After realizing her desire to teach, she trained with Jimmy Barkan for levels 1, 2, and 3 (Hot Yoga and Vinyasa Flow) in 2003, and completed a 200 hour program through the Aura Wellness Center for Hatha and Restorative Yoga in 2004. Annie is the mother of an eight-year-old girl, so there is always that touch of quality in her voice. She guides her classes from the heart and illustrates rhythmic combinations of creative flows and pranayama in moving meditations that tune you from the inside out
