Learn how to connect breath, mind & body to create inner peace
Starts from Monday 18 April
Book now to save £15 on a 6 week term!
Do you have a busy mind?
Are your thoughts all over the place?
Do you struggle to relax?
Would you like to enjoy the incredible benefits of meditation but know you can't sit still long enough?
For many of us, the biggest obstacle to finding inner peace is that every time our bodies become still our minds become busier than ever! If we are rushing in a million different directions when we arrive on our mat, it's hard to suddenly stop and be still.
But there is another way to meditate - while we're moving. We call this Vinyasa Flow.
Moving with intention allows us to take the time to shift into a more meditative state gradually. When we move in a special way, consciously connecting the breath, mind and body, we create the right environment for inner peace to develop.
We are so focused that it becomes effortless.

Can't wait to get started?
I'd love to join you BUT...
"I don't have time and can't make it to your classes"
You know you’re more productive when you're happy and relaxed. You know you’re better at looking after others when you look after yourself first. But work or family commitments still stop you from giving yourself an hour of ‘me time’.
What would you say to a friend who told you they couldn’t afford to spend one hour a week taking care of their mind and body? You’d probably tell them that they deserve it and to ‘make the time’!
If you feel you don’t have time for yoga, this is when you need it most!
"I can't afford it"
I’ve lost count of the times I gave someone a free class, and they didn’t show up. Or I sent them a free class recording, and they never watched it.
I now know that one of the most important things I can do is to ask you to pay for a term of classes - because then you commit to it! Unless there’s a good reason you’ll be there every week taking care of your mind and body. And my students find yoga so much easier and more satisfying when they come weekly.
If it's hard to justify spending this money on yourself, think of it as an investment in your wellbeing. There aren’t many things you can buy for £12 a week, that make you feel amazing for a whole hour AND give you a boost for the rest of the week! I guarantee the people around you will feel the benefits as well!
"I can't do yoga"
Is there a little voice in your head telling you that you can’t do yoga?
My classes are designed for people just like you, and are full of students just like you. Beginners. People with injuries and movement challenges. Inflexible bodies. (Check out what they say about my classes below)
We go slowly so no one is left behind, and I give lots of options so you can choose the ones that work best for you.
Come along and I’ll show you that you can do yoga!
How have my classes helped my students?
Claire Healy
I absolutely love Anna Banana Yoga!
Being new to yoga, Anna explains every position so well that you don’t need to watch her and I could feel the benefits after the first session. Her gentle approach is really encouraging and after just a couple of sessions I booked up for the term!
I feel so much more flexible and supple.
Judith Herring
I'd just like to say how much Anna has helped me. All movements are explained with various alternatives so that they are achievable without straining any injury or discomfort, making you feel confident in the poses.
Her gentle tone and encouraging way have helped enormously in building confidence in my yoga. She's helped me get back on form after my back injury.
Kourtnie Perry
I can't recommend Yoga with Anna enough.
I've been to multiple classes where I felt inadequate, embarrassed and self-conscious especially with the injuries I had.
Anna made me feel relaxed and comfortable immediately and I love that she gives me alternatives for poses without putting me on the spot.
How much for inner peace?
