About
Hi! I am a retired engineer. I got my yoga teacher certification in 2014 and have been teaching ever since. My students enjoy yoga practice that is customized just for them. Are you looking for the health benefits but don't feel comfortable at a yoga studio? Are you curious about yoga but not ready to jump into a big class? With one-on-one instruction, I can work around any limitations you may have as well as focus on your specific requests. Since March of 2020 I have primarily been teaching online. So if you are tired of youtube videos and want to ask questions I can help!
I like to see others benefit from yoga practice. I have several students that started with me over 4 years ago. It is heartwarming to see how they have progressed in their practice. I have students that suffer from back issues, shoulder and knee issues as well as students without physical issues. I enjoy creating a practice that is best for the student. I have students that have stressful jobs and we meditate to help alleviate anxiety on and off the mat. I enjoy teaching practices that meet the specific needs of each student.
Everyone can practice yoga! Everyone can benefit. We just start with different abilities.

Aneesa is delightful and knowledgeable about adapting yoga poses for people with injuries. She is easy to work with and very accommodating. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

I’m so happy I found Aneesa on here! I love our yoga sessions. I feel amazing every time I leave her yoga session physically and mentally. I started yoga because I was having shoulder and back problems and I thought yoga would help. I told her what I wanted to get out of our session and she customizes the yoga to my needs. I have felt so much pain relief since I started with her. Not only does she know her stuff she is super sweet and kind. If you book with her you won’t regret it! I look forward to my sessions with her every week.

I have been seeing Aneesa for yoga practice for about 1 year. I wanted to try yoga to assist with some medical issues but didn't want to go to a large studio setting. Aneesa's set up is perfect for me. She does a great job of tailoring our practice to my specific needs on the day and always challenges me, in a positive manner, so I get the most of my time with her. I always leave feeling much better than when I arrive at Aneesa's.

My experience with Aneesa has been wonderful so far! She was exactly what I was looking for and walked me through my first yoga experience with knowledge and patience. I felt comfort ale with Aneesa and am excited to continue!

Aneesa is such a treasure! She's knowlegable, challenging,reliable, and gracious. Her love of yoga is obvious and she teaches with such encouragement and kindness, I always walk away from our lessons feeling refreshed, centered, and strong.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The price I quote depends on the length of the practice and whether I need to travel to the student. I charge considerably lower than average but I feel strongly that yoga should be accessible for everyone. Most of my students pay for several sessions ahead of time but this is not required.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When a new student comes to me I will first collect general health information. Once I understand any medical limitations you may have we can talk about your goals and what you expect from your yoga experience. Then I will customize a practice for you. Hopefully we will continue to work together so I can tailor poses and sequences to your needs and abilities. Also, you can share with me your favorite parts of the practice so that your experience gets better and better. This is the beauty of private yoga sessions. As a teacher I don't have to teach to the average student in a group class.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have completed RYT-200 certification which included several hours of teaching with supervision as well as lectures and exams. I am also certified for Prenatal Yoga Instruction. I am registered with Yoga Alliance. Most importantly, as of July 2019 I have taught nearly 700 yoga practices.
