Anne was first introduced to yoga in 1978 while attending college in San Francisco. Over the years she re-engaged with yoga primarily as a practice to maintain balance of stress levels. Anne spent her early years working in community mental health in therapeutic prevention education for children and families at risk.

Anne always maintained a focus on holistic health and living as demonstrated in her early efforts to introduce ecologically based curriculum for a parent run preschool in 1990, instituting recycling for the first time, using funds generated from recycling to create an organic garden, teaching composting principles to parents and children and guiding the school to transition from toxic cleaners (bleach) to non-toxic.

Sarah Howe has been practicing yoga for over eight years and received her Teacher Training certificate at Central Mass Yoga in West Boylston, MA.
As a long time athlete Sarah feels the non-competitive aspect of yoga balances the intensity of training, racing, and team sports.
She brings her knowledge of sport related injuries and conditioning to her teaching, focusing on the physiological applications of the postures and breath work and how the practice can enhance daily life by connecting the body, mind, and spirit. Sarah encourages student inquires during class as traditional and variations of Hatha yoga postures, pranayama, and meditation practices are explored. Read more »
