Anna was exposed to yoga as a child and began practicing early in her high school career. She played various sports, using yoga as a way to balance athletics and academics. Yoga became a more prominent focus following her collegiate golf career when she completed the 200-hour yoga teacher training in Durham, North Carolina. Anna also completed a course in Transcendental Meditation in 2016. Currently, Anna is in her final year of a dual Masters degree in Social Work and Public Health at Pitt. She has worked as a yoga instructor at Ascend since May 2023.
Yoga is a grounding and enlightening experience for Anna. She feels it allows her to gain understanding of herself and her purpose, through asana, breathing exercises, and meditation. Anna wants to spread empowerment to others and encourage all students to reflect inward before reacting outward.
