“Yoga with Anita helps not only helps me manage workplace stress but it’s also great for my neck, shoulders and back from sitting at my computer all day. The stretches we do loosen everything up. More importantly for me as someone who suffers from Crohn’s disease it is very helpful in keeping my system in check and overall just makes me feel better every time I do it.”

It has taught me to be grateful for what I have. My love for yoga has come from Anita. She is the person who taught me mindfulness and how to meditate.

“I started working with Anita 27 years ago when I had a bad back and painful knees. I was 72 at the time. Anita has worked with me since, helping me strengthen my back and keep my knees moving. My overall strength has also benefited from the consistent weight work. I am now over 100 years old and Anita is still with me. I know that one of the reasons I am doing so well is because of the guidance she has given me over the years. My philosophy is move while you can and Anita has helped me keep my body moving and my mind fresh!”
