Creating space to listen to our own body wisdom.
About me
Hi, I am Anja.
What I share is rooted in my trainings, my research and practical experience (my own, my clients and students). It is for education; for we are our own best healer and we know our own body the best - once we start to get educated and learn listen to our body wisdom. It is body literacy.
Whether you join a yoga class or want to work with me one-to-one discussing your wellbeing I encourage you to listen to your body wisdom.
Yoga sessions, workshops, courses and consultations draw on ayurvedic knowledge, on yogic wisdom… From a holistic and deep-rooted philosophy of life and living.
cycles + seasons
Honouring and embracing our cyclic nature, our menstrual cycle, womb wisdom and being rooted in our sacred pelvis is re-emerging.
I believe we have so much power in each phase of our menstrual cycle and in the transition through perimenopause and beyond. We know our nervous system affects our pelvic floor and pelvic organs.
This wisdom and power is not just for physical wellbeing. Rather it is a way of living. Supporting us through the challenges we may encounter in our day to day life so we may live more fully and present. This is some of what you can explore in my book Teaching yoga for the menstrual cycle - an Āyurvedic perspective (published Dec 2022).
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.
