Annie Siegel

Annie's intention is to simplify her life, find balance and live truthfully. After giving birth to her beautiful daughter Isabel, she has found the need to cultivate balance in her life more than ever. As a mother, the struggle to allow time for yourself is so essential to happiness, yet so hard to do. Practicing and teaching yoga has been her savior. Annie hopes to encourage others to integrate yoga, meditation and relaxation into their daily lives. Annie's study of yoga has infused her spirit with the desire to be present, to be balanced, and to be quiet enough in mind to hear what she needs to grow.

In 2005, Annie completed the Om Yoga Teacher Training to become a certified yoga teacher. She has continued her training over the years, studying with various teachers in the Cleveland area and visiting yogis. Some of her most recent and memorable workshops include studying with Max Strom, Seane Corn and Bryan Kest. Annie's teaching is slow in pace, thoughtful, and enhanced by skilled hands on adjustments. Annie strives to release the deeper layers of the body, to help people connect the mind and body through a true meditation in motion. Annie's class is taught with the intention to help people quiet their mind and body so that they can listen to their heart. Each class is different, each is a new experience, and each is a journey.

In addition to yoga, Annie has most recently added Thai Yoga Massage to her practice. She is trained in Thai massage through the Lotus Palm School. She will complete her level two training in October of 2009, enabling her to be a certified Thai Massage practioner. She enjoys this meditative, relaxing and nurturing form of energy work and hopes to introduce the many benefits of this practice to those around her. Additionally, she loves fusing yoga and thai massage together (Yoga-Thaifusion), offering a unique blend in one session that leaves clients feeling blissful.
