“I love yoga - yoga is a transformational tool, a way of living with grace, love and inspiration. It is more than a physical workout, more than becoming flexible and strong. It is about how we can live our life in a positive way. I wish to bring these ancient, but more than ever relevant, teachings into the class.”

Anja first encountered yoga in her native Denmark in the late 1990s and from then on continued to practise and study various styles of yoga. Living in London she has studied and trained in the capital and her interest has brought her to India and America for further studies.

Through yoga she discovered Ayurveda - translated as the Science of Life - and is a sister science to Yoga. Ayurveda is a practical application of keeping our body and our mind healthy through lifestyle, diet and if necessary herbs and body treatments.

She achieved her BSc and Post Graduate Diploma in Ayurveda from Middlesex University. She has completed the ayurvedic massage programme which is part of the degree as well as internships in Ayurvedic hospitals in India.

Anja teaches yoga in classes, workshops and one-to-ones. She has also qualified as a pregnancy and postnatal yoga teacher, gives ayurvedic advice and is a qualified massage therapist and aromatherapist.

I feel my body and mind work together and...aware of my posture and breathing. After the class I feel my body and senses to be opened, expanded; I feel calm and refreshed; I feel taller!

My spine, pelvis bones and limbs moving as a new machine as I am walking on the pavement back home.

Another thing that it is very important is that Anja's class acknowledges that we are living in a crazy rhythm in one of the busiest cities of the world, London, which absolutely affect our sense of our body and how our mind works and consequently how we experience and practising yoga.
