Anna of Yoga Botanica

I am Anna, owner of and yin yoga teacher at Yoga Botanica. I live in the Dutch countryside with my husband and dog. Yin yoga helped me through a tough period in my life. Because I got so much value out of it, I trained as a yin yoga teacher to broaden my knowledge. During the training I discovered how beautiful, valuable and enjoyable giving yin yoga lessons to others is. From there, Yoga Botanica was created! I have a corporate job and I enjoy working in my garden.

My yin yoga classes follow a theme, with the postures and meditation jointly representing that. For example, in the theme “Self-love” postures are used in which softness is sought and the heart is opened. I build my lessons around a theme, so that in addition to the physical, they also appeal to the spiritual in us. After a lesson I like to offer a cup of (herbal) tea that fits the theme. The name Yoga Botanica also originated in this way: the combination between Yoga and the nature/plants around us – Botanica.
