Ann Hunt
Ann's teaching is a reflection of the many inspiring teachers she has studied with throughout the US, Central America and India during the many years she has been practicing yoga. Her yoga journey began shortly out of college while living in Washington DC. She teaches yoga in an interdisciplinary style integrating several modalities including Iyengar, Kripalu, Self-Awakening, Vinyasa, Yin and Restorative yoga as well as yoga on the rope wall. Her classes also incorporate breath awareness and Mindfulness. Her primary focus is on creating a nurturing, challenging and fun experience that honors the unique needs of each individual. She aims to help her students cultivate a greater sense of ease, self-acceptance, embodiment and resilience while practicing at their own pace. Ann’s interdisciplinary approach to yoga offers a unique blend of movement, mindfulness, and holistic wellness, making her classes a transformative experience for students of all levels.
