Go Fit Girl

My friend and yoga teacher Vickie is offering some of her Hatha Yoga classes at the beginning of the year as free open house classes.
I was a student of Vickie's for many years. Then she taught me how to be a Hatha yoga teacher and a Restorative yoga teacher. And I can still take yoga with her while she is in Oakland and I am in Tucson.
Open House Yoga Classes:
*Thursday, Jan. 1 Mixed Level Hatha 9:30-11 a.m. Pacific/10:30 a.m.-noon
*Friday, Jan. 2 Therapeutic Yoga 9-10 a.m. Pacific/10-11 a.m. Arizona
*Friday, Jan. 2 Intermediate Hatha 1-2:30 p.m. Pacific/2-3:30 p.m. Arizona
*Sunday, Jan. 4 Mixed Level Hatha 9-10:30 a.m. Pacific/10-11:30 a.m. Arizona

Happy holidays, dear community.

As this year winds down, I want to begin with a simple and heartfelt thank you.

Many of you have been practicing with me for years, and nearly all of you made the leap to online practice with me. That kind of devotion, trust, and consistency is not something I take lightly. I appreciate you more than I can say.

This past year, something especially meaningful happened: a number of new students found their way to our community through you. You mentioned a class to a friend, shared a link with a family member, or spoke from your own experience. Because of that, new people discovered a practice that truly supports them. Everyone benefited. Thank you for that quiet generosity.

As we head into the holidays and turn the year over, I share this simple request:
.. if there’s one person in your life who you think might genuinely appreciate and benefit from practicing with me, someone who’s curious, or quietly needing support, I’d love for you to invite them. A personal invitation from you carries far more warmth and trust than any announcement I could send.

I’ll be hosting Free Open House Mixed-Level classes on Zoom:

Thursday, January 1
Sunday, January 4

There will also be two additional free classes on Friday, January 2:

Therapeutics at 9:00am
Intermediate at 1:00pm

Registration for all is available here:

Eleven years ago today I graduated from my first yoga teacher training. I'm pictured with my mentor Baxter Bell. I've adjusted my teaching slightly to fit in with life: Wednesday noontime work yoga and Zoom yoga on Thursday nights.

Hatha Yoga (Yoga for the Desk Jockey) with Ann 06.22.2025
This class is for the Desk Jockey (aka a person who sits at a desk). Even if you aren't a true desk jockey our sitting culture has definitely hurt our bodies. This class helps us open our hearts in backbends and stretch and open our hips and hamstrings and elongate our spines and side bodies.
