Yoga
At Yoga Therapy Anchorage, we offer personalized, body-centered yoga therapy that combines postures, breathwork, relaxation, and meditation. Rooted in T.K.V. Desikachar’s tradition, we focus on the individual, adapt to unique needs, and promote self-regulation.
​
It's accessible to everyone, free from acrobatics and religious dogma, and prioritizes well-being in the present moment. This practice reflects principles that foster self-awareness and responsibility as you connect with your body’s natural healing process.
Why Yoga Therapy?
It offers
Strengthening Self-Regulation
Strengthening the individual's self-regulatory powers in a holistic way.
​Can help prevent symptoms from getting worse.
​Can prevent or alleviate secondary symptoms of certain clinical illnesses.
Feeling better!
Regaining physical and emotional strength, stability, and flexibility:
By fostering awareness of your body and emotions in the present, you reconnect with your natural strength and adaptability, promoting holistic healing and balance.
Body- and Process- Centred Approach
Touch, movement, breath, and energy make physical states tangible and influence them. In body-centered yoga, guidance and discussion facilitate reflection, helping integrate these experiences into everyday life. This process fosters awareness and connection to the present moment.
Promoting Self-Perception
Allowing the recognition of both disease-causing and health-promoting behavioral and lifestyle patterns.
​Develop a better way of dealing with stress and pain.
Exploring Possibilities
Acquiring new perspectives and behaviours in order to strengthen healing competencies.
Resource-oriented approach to promote and expand the individual's knowledge of possible courses of action, and coping skills.

Your Therapist Anna Steinmann
Certified Yoga Therapist OdA-KT (Organisation of Swiss Alternative Medicine Professionals), Member of the IAYT (The International Association of Yoga Therapists) and a current graduate student for rehabilitation and clinical mental health counseling.
I have dedicated the past 18 years to studying yoga therapy. In 2018, I earned the "Advanced Swiss Federal Diploma of Professional Education and Training as a Complementary Therapist in Yoga Therapy," a four-year degree recognized by the Swiss Federal Government and the professional healthcare industry.
​
I now live in Alaska and am pursuing my Master's in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling at Utah State University. I plan to become a Clinical Mental Health and Rehabilitation Counselor and incorporate yoga into my work.
​
As a yoga therapist, I consider myself a healthcare professional who integrates holistic healing with an emphasis on the present moment. I support individuals dealing with health complaints, well-being impairments, or rehabilitation needs. I guide clients to explore and understand their here-and-now experience, fostering a deeper awareness of their physical, emotional, and psychological states.
​
In my work, I encourage clients to become more aware of themselves internally and with their environment, strengthening their existing resources and facilitating their self-awareness and self-responsibility.
​
I respect each individual’s unique possibilities and tailor my practices to meet their needs. I create a safe and open space for clients to explore their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors.

What Clients and Professionals Say

Yoga therapy with Anna saved my life after a big health scare. Anna gave me the tools to my self-healing powers and her empathy laid the foundation to start the process of trusting myself, my body and my mind again. Working with my body with the tools of yoga therapy made me feel safe again.
