Anne

UK's Leading Holistic Detox Team

On Karuna Detox™ retreats:

Anne offers treatments and teaches our daily yoga class. Using breath, relaxation and stretching,  from the absolute beginner to the experienced yogi, her classes offer a space to deeply calm and strengthen the body and mind, as well as explore inner and outer movement. It is a journey, using movement and body as our tools.

Practicing yoga is an act of self kindness

Anne's popular Scaravelli yoga classes are full of humour and a way to take us beyond posture and into a joyful experience of ourselves.

In addition to Yoga, she offers in her treatments a space for body led guidance and nurturing: 'Double Detox' therapy combines abdominal-digestive system massage with ear acupuncture to release toxicity and addictions. You can also enjoy a Japanese Shiatsu massage using stretches similar to yoga and pressure points to give you the effect of a work out while you relax.

Biography:

After being introduced to Yoga aged 14, continued to practice and train as a teacher as it was clearly something that she had passion and enthusiasm for sharing with others. The journey led her through many types of Yoga; Iyengar, Ashtanga, but Scaravelli has been the one that inspired her practice and teaching today. A blend of asana and pranayama; grounded and rejuvenating stretches and extensions bringing calm equanimity to all aspects of life.

"I love the way that this Yoga is gentle yet strong, and that so many body types and backgrounds benefit from this harmonious presence to the breath in each posture." Anne

She is fortunate to have studied with some wonderful teacher such as Diane Long, John Stirk, Sandra Sabotini and Sophie Hoare; all of which worked with Vanda Scaravelli.

Her Shiatsu practice compliments this journey into body/mind/spirit.  Anne is also trained in Massage Therapy, and in Ear- Acupuncture, which she offers on retreat.

Devoted mother to her 15yr old son, who challenges her to stay up to date with absolutely everything, in her leisure time, she enjoys travelling in Africa, and get involved in music projects.
