Anna is a yoga teacher living in Burton-on-Trent and over the last year she has been introducing some of her target groups to the therapeutic benefits of her Mindfulness Yoga programmes.

She has been teaching in Burton since 2004, mainly in gyms and exclusive health clubs, and she felt that it was time to promote equality and social inclusion by offering tailored mindfulness and yoga services to other groups, making health and wellness accessible to everyone. This would include sectors of the community without the luxury of a gym membership: including the unemployed, those on low incomes or sickness benefit, people overcoming addictions and in recovery, those with mental health challenges (especially those dealing with the current epidemic of anxiety and depression in our culture), youths at risk and troubled teens, therapeutic yoga for the elderly, yoga for special needs, children’s and teen yoga, yoga for study skills and exam stress, school or college staff and so on………
