Anastasia came to yoga after years of exploring the profound effects of movement through ballet and modern dance. Her love for the practice comes from her passion for its healing nature. With a background in psychology, she is currently finishing a M.S./R/D in Nutrition, and is interested in the ways yoga and nutrition are intertwined in integrative health. Anastasia fell in love with Laughing Lotus soon after arriving in NYC and completed her teaching training at Lotus in winter 2009. She feels truly blessed to have found her home in such a beautiful community of teachers, friends and inspiring souls. Deep gratitude to Dana and Jasmine and each and every Lotus family member!
