"It was important to me to write in a space where I saw myself and my identities reflected back to me and so that I could reflect that to others as well. This class exceeded my expectations–I felt held and I felt able to bring my whole-self into my writing experience. Anoa is a caring and masterful spaceholder who helped to create a space where we could all connect through our words. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!"

"I love how Anoa weaves storytelling into the movement. In my private yoga session with her, she used the stories to make the poses more accessible. I like that she demonstrates the movement and pose before she guides me through it–using her incredibly soothing voice and gentle touch–so that I could feel the asana and its deeper meaning and purpose, in my body."
