Hi, I’m Anja — and my work is rooted in cycles, seasons and ayurveda.
I’ve been teaching yoga for over 20 years.
And in that time, one truth has remained constant:
We are Nature
Nature is cyclical
And we are unique individuals
That’s why my classes and courses weave together:
Ayurveda
The lunar cycle
Menstrual awareness
Perimenopause support
Kindling our inner fire, Agni
Replenishing our vitality, Ojas
Intuitive soulful movement
I don’t teach performance yoga or push-through exhaustion.
I teach yoga that restores the body, settles the nervous system, and reconnects you to your inner wisdom.
Why This Work Matters to Me
Because I’ve lived through overwhelm, burnout, depletion and hormonal shifts.
And I know the power of slowing down, listening inward, and practising in harmony with the seasons.
This approach has supported hundreds of women through:
• menstrual irregularities
• painful cycles
• perimenopause transitions
• anxiety + stress
• fatigue
• disconnection from themselves
My book, Teaching Yoga for the Menstrual Cycle, was born from this lifelong passion — to help women understand and honour the rhythms of their inner world.
Come join me for a workshop, a class, or a course
— and let’s honour your seasons together.
Long bio:
Anja Brierley Lange is the author of Teaching yoga for the menstrual cycle - an Āyurvedic perspective. She began her yoga teaching journey in 2005 in venues and studios across London. Whilst building her community through various classes, workshops and lectures, she became increasingly aware of the limitations of standardised yoga teaching and training. Specifically relating to menstrual cycle awareness, female anatomy and health.
With a strong ambition to better serve the individuals within her community, Anja enrolled at university studying for a four year degree in āyurvedic medicine. She found herself returning to India, apprenticing and working alongside several specialist doctors in hospitals across India. And in 2009/10 she graduated with a bachelor of science (BSc) and postgraduate degree (PGDip) in āyurveda.
Since 2013 she has been training yoga teachers including creating teacher training courses in pregnancy and postnatal yoga. Now after over 18 years of experience, it is in this space she continues to dedicate her focus and growth. Continuing to broaden her training beyond yoga, in order to obtain and guide a holistic practice, with women’s health at the heart.
