Anahata Giri
For yoga classes with Anahata: For several years I have taken classes with Anahata Giri. Her yoga is inspiring. She has developed a style of teaching that often begins gently but builds to a very complete and demanding sequence, all in a gracious and gentle atmosphere. Her yoga is deep and engages one on many levels. She is a lovely role model, having a feminine, poised and generous manner, unaffected and helpful. For several years I and my partner have looked forward to a deep and sensitive yoga session on Sunday mornings with Anahata, who has been consistent and kind, while also extending our capacity both physically and inwardly. She is a very skilled, unpretentious and strong teacher and I recommend her work strongly. Julia White, March 2013 Anahata is a wonderful yoga teacher. I have been to her classes twice weekly since moving from NZ in 2009. I enjoy the way her classes integrate asana, pranayama, sound work and meditation, and dynamically combine strength, movement and deep connection to the breath. In class, she provides a beautiful balance between sensitive guidance, and holding space for a deep personal practice. Her own grounded and curious nature permeates her classes, and her regular following of students have become somewhat of an extended family.
