About Annalisa

My classes aim to be informative and nourishing. Supporting students to find a yoga practice that works for them.

Hello I’m Annalisa!

A little about me

Yoga teacher, trainee sound healer, and mother of two. I am also the Head of Design of a fashion retailer, working in a fast pace and demanding industry. Yoga has supported my life journey and restored balance to my every day.

I teach a blend of different styles of yoga, incorporating the benefits of Astanga, Vinyasa, and Restorative.

The classes are a blend of building strength, releasing tension from daily life, and yoga philosophy, that I believe serves us beyond our mat.

I aim to support practitioners by giving gentle guidance, developing their own awareness of their practice. I blend my experience, the science behind yoga, movement, philosophy, traditional and modern teachings of yoga to inform how I teach.

  • " I found that Annalisa was really in tune with my abilities, giving reassurance and encouragement so I could do poses I didn't think I was capable of. I don't think I have had a yoga teacher who incorporates the philosophy of the practise into the class and personally, I found this helped me to connect with the practise in each session. I would happily do yoga with Annalisa and highly recommend her classes".

  • "Annalisa's classes have been a fascinating exploration of the spirituality of yoga. She's an incredibly caring, attentive and detail-oriented teacher, with every class carefully prepared and beautifully set up with bolsters, blocks, blankets and everything we might need for our practice. Though I've been to several other yoga classes over the years, this is the first where a teacher has shown such care in explaining the philosophy of yoga alongside the physical movements."

  • “I loved the Autumn flow to restore course with Annalisa. It was my first time back in the yoga studio for some time and the class was the perfect combination of movement and relaxation. Annalisa is great at guiding us all – giving adaptations and options along the way and I really rate her very personal style of teaching.”

My yoga journey


My journey in yoga started back in 2005. My first job in fashion design saw me regularly travelling back and forth to India, China, Paris, and New York. I was in need of something to quieten my busy mind and lifestyle. This is when I discovered yoga and instantly fell in love with the feeling it gave me; the meditative movement gave me a sense of freedom.

I started with Hatha yoga and then moved into Astanga. Over the years, I have practiced Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative and Kundalini. I have been very fortunate to have two very incredible, inspiring and generous yoga teachers/ mentors who have both been a huge influence in my practice.

Yoga has helped me to strip back multiple layers to reveal my true self. The journey of yoga for me is one of self discovery on every level; a journey that forever evolves and grows.

I have been teaching since summer 2024. I hold a 200hr Level 1 Teacher Training with Yoga Alliance and completed my YTT training with Charlotte Anderson Sumner at Green and Blue studios. I also hold a First Aid at Work Certificate.

‘The Self, pure awareness, shines as the light within the heart, surrounded by senses. Only seeming to think, seeming to move, the self neither sleeps nor wakes nor dreams’
