Taught by: Annie Foster of Karma Kids

Annie, a lifelong southern belle, moved to New York several years after earning her BA in Theatre from Christopher Newport University in Virginia. As she worked and interned at several theatres, her yoga practice became more and more important as a tool to achieve balance, peace, flexibility of body and mind. So she dove in to her 200-hr certification through Sonic Yoga, and began pursuing her passion of giving the gift of yoga to anyone open to receiving it.

Inspired by fellow children’s yoga teacher, Laura Frye, Annie set her sights on the world of yoga for kids, and completed her Children’s Yoga training through Karma Kids Yoga. Working with children has cracked her heart and smile wide open, noticing that it’s hard to take life too seriously when you surround yourself with kids. More recently, Annie completed her Prenatal Yoga certification with Juliana Secches, and her postnatal certification with Jyothi Larson.

Annie’s gentle nature and warm personality make even the most shy child feel comfortable in her classes. She ensures that all kids have fun while strengthening their bodies. Balancing out her high energy yoga adventures with children, Annie is currently receiving her certification in the healing art of Thai Yoga Massage.

Annies’ favourite yoga pose is Child’s Pose or Balasana, because it reminds her that no matter what challenges the outside world can throw at you, you can always curl up, and go inside to find that blissful place that lives inside us all.
