ANYA ESTERMANN
I first came to Yoga in 1997, through an ante-natal yoga class. In 2003, I discovered Yoga and then attended my first retreat in 2004. This experience opened my heart to the depth of Yoga teachings and its potential impact on all aspects of life. I subsequently attended several retreats and workshops, as well as a Raja Yoga course (Yoga philosophy). Having experienced the deep healing and peace Yoga brought me after a very traumatic event, I finally undertook my Integral Yoga Teacher Training (an Independent Yoga Network school) in 2013 to be able to share this with others.
Working in a special school for young people with social, emotional and mental health difficulties, it soon became clear to me that these young people needed Yoga in their lives. To deepen my understanding of Yoga and my expertise, I undertook specialised training at Special Yoga (a British Wheel of Yoga recognised Centre) and the Minded Institute.
I am also a Teacher Trainer at the Heart of Living Yoga Foundation (an Independent Yoga Network school).
I am registered with the Independent Yoga Network and have full insurance cover.
I hold a current enhanced DBS certificate and am registered with the update service.
