Anna-Marie Babington

Anna-Marie Babington is a 200-hour certified yoga teacher. She trained at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Ayurveda in 2016 following nearly ten years of practicing yoga. In 2017, she worked at Kaliyoga Retreats Italy where she practiced with master teacher Tashi Dawa. Anna-Marie teaches Restorative Hatha and Vinyasa yoga with an emphasis on meditation and pranayama. Her experience with Kripalu Vinyasa and Ashtanga has also influenced her teaching style.

Anna-Marie aims to make all classes safe and accessible to all levels. She encourages her students to follow a path of self-inquiry during their yoga practice - going inside, getting curious, noticing sensations, becoming comfortable with things as they are. In this way, yoga becomes a "meditation in motion". Anna-Marie believes in cultivating body-breath awareness as an essential tool to promote health and happiness. Her practice also informs her work as an artist; by making art and practicing yoga, Anna-Marie nurtures her fascination with the human mind, body, and spirit. Anna-Marie believes in Living Yoga on and off the mat, and she cherishes the opportunity to share yoga and be part of a community of practice.
