Anna Stene

Anna first found yoga as an athlete in college. She practiced asana when it was occasionally available, but focused on lifting and running. In her mid-twenties, Anna increased her running schedule and ran two half-marathons, only to land herself in physical therapy, twice. It was then that she decided her body needed something different. 

A regular practice of yoga began for Anna with a "yoga at the brewery" class. The class was taught by an experienced and knowledgeable teacher, and Anna went back to the teacher's studio for more. This developed Anna's curiosity and she began to explore all of the studios and teachers in her area. It was interesting to learn how teachers linked meditation, pranayama, and asana together. 

As a high school teacher, instructing and watching students learn is Anna's passion. She decided to let this passion flow into her yoga practice by signing up for teacher training at Green Lotus in 2020. She completed the program before the end of the year, and now teaches in her town of Lake Mills, Iowa.
