Anna Jennings SOFLO

Anna Jennings

Studio Founder

Yoga Teacher

Anna started her journey with yoga in 2006. She fell in love with it almost instantly and became a faithful practitioner. Yoga was always so good to her and she could feel its generous benefits every day. As her body became stronger and healthier, she soon discovered that the mat became a place to find peace and balance, self awareness and connection between body and mind. Eventually she wanted to immerse herself in a training to deepen her own personal practice but also share her passion and love for yoga with others. Anna believes that yoga is for everyone: regardless of advancement, regardless of age, regardless of shape or physical ability. Anna strives to share her passion and excitement for yoga with everyone each and every class.
