Yoga with Anisha

"Starve the ego, feed the soul :)"

About

I am a Yoga Instructor (Yoga by Anisha, www.yogabyanisha.com) specialising in mental health.

I teach Vinyasa Flow, Hatha Yoga, Yoga Therapy for Anxiety, Yoga Therapy for PTSD and Yin Yoga & Mindfulness Meditation. I am currently specialising in Yoga for Stress, Burnout and Fatigue. I am incredibly passionate about mental health awareness, inclusivity and accessibility (given my lived experience of anxiety and recovery journey after contracting sepsis), which is reflected in my style of yoga teaching. I believe that Yoga is for ‘EveryBody’, after all, it is the practise of freedom and liberation - far beyond the physical poses!

My family roots are Indian and I therefore enjoy sharing and learning the philosophical teachings of yoga with my students. I am also a qualified Mental Health First Aider.

My teaching experience includes corporate yoga sessions and wellbeing seminars for clients including AIG, Wellcome Trust, WeWork, Park Plaza Hotel, Vonder and Legal and General. I also conduct regular classes with major fitness centres (e.g, Virgin Notting Hill, GYMBOX, Frame) and private clients.

The Session

My classes are tailored to your individual requirements and desired goals. Techniques include yoga postures, pranayama (breathing exercises), meditation and relaxation exercises. I am also able to incorporate techniques from my specialism in Yoga Therapy for Anxiety to alleviate stress and aid relaxation. I am incredibly passionate about mental health awareness, inclusivity and accessibility (given my lived experience of anxiety and recovery journey after contracting sepsis), which is reflected in my style of teaching. I believe that Yoga is for ‘EveryBody’ - I greatly honour that each of our individual bodies are unique and diverse. I teach in respect of this, without a ‘one size fits all’ approach, providing options and variations. I inspire my students to approach their yoga practise with a sense of kindness and self-acceptance. I empower my students to make decisions during practise that feel good and right for them, encouraging them to go deeply within and intuitively listen to what they need in the moment - your body, your practise, your choice. My roots originate in India and therefore I enjoy sharing small, accessible nuggets of wisdom (philosophical teachings and history of yoga practises) with my students.

Anisha's warm, caring and nurturing personality is the pillar for a unique blend of yoga classes that allow you to push the envelope physically whilst remaining grounded and centred. She is extremely knowledge and conducts her classes in a very calm, encouraging and inclusive manner, ensuring all levels and abilities can benefit from her teachings. She takes the time to make sure everyone is accommodated. Every class is planned meticulously with the background music to fit the mood and pace of the class, making each class a unique experience. Would recommend to all my family and friends

I cannot recommend Anisha’s classes strongly enough, both her zoom and in-person sessions are phenomenal. Her style is clear, informative and fun. I love the way she explains the asanas, guides you into them, always advising of common posture mistakes whilst in them. Importantly she uses the Sanskrit names and explains the purpose of the asana or flow which makes the class really informative too. My favourite are her Yin classes!!

I had the pleasure of attending one of Anisha's yoga classes through a corporate team building session and it was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable experiences I've had at work. Since then I've attended a few other classes and each class has been delivered in such a beautiful way, I never thought I'd enjoy yoga so much! Thanks you Anisha, your calm and attentive manner make your classes so, so special.

I had private sessions with Anisha for 2 months now and the difference I’ve seen in my movement is simply incredible. She has helped me navigate emotions through breathing and body mobility. Every session is tailor made for me as she spend so much time focusing on my needs. I am really confident on what we are building each week and I keep feeling stronger and stronger thanks to her amazing support. I’ve had a lot of experience with yoga and can easily say that the private sessions with Anisha are by far the best I’ve had. Highly recommend her!

Okay. I'm the type that won't write a review unless I'm utterly impressed. I started my journey in Yoga with the lovely Anisha. I was always very skeptical about Yoga in general and I wasn't a believer of Yoga and meditation until due to work, my anxiety level put me in a position to try anything and everything and see what could help before I go for anti anxiety medications. I have to say not only me and my family have noticed so much improvement in me mentally and physically (since I started my sessions with her) but also I feel absolutely amazing and energised. Even for my first session, Anisha was very patient, professional and supporive. Her level of knowledge was absolutely outstanding and from just talking to her, I knew that I was in the right hands. Recommended 1000%. You will know what I mean from your first session. 🙂 Thank you so much Anisha and already looking forward to our next season. 🙌

Anisha is simply AMAZING!! My mom and I have private sessions with her at home over the past few months and her help and support have an incredible impact for both of us. She goes above and beyond to understand your needs and adjust each session accordingly. She has been focusing a lot on helping us deal with stress and anxiety through Hatha and breathing techniques resulting in a lot of healing. She is a true professional and everytime she finds different movements to keep building on mindfulness and strength. Her kindness and unique energy can really make your day. I would highly recommend a private session with Anisha it would change your life.

Anisha was a brilliant instructor! She was very attentive of students’ needs, she explained the yoga terminology and I felt very relaxed afterwards. Thank you!
