Annie Trachsel is a 500 hr. RYT with trauma sensitive awareness. She specializes in functional movement and nervous system regulation. This comes from over 20 years of her own practice and experience. Exploring many modalities which has led her to find her niche of strength, mobility, and proper breathing. She has been “officially” practicing yoga since 2001. However, even as a young child at the age of 10, she found relief from muscular pains caused from an injury that led her to a body cast for several months, and in a coma for 11 days! By doing many physical therapy strengthening exercises over the years she discovered the importance of the balance between strength and stretch. Later in life she learned many of these were very similar to yoga poses and movements that she practices today. She has dedicated herself to exploring the delicate balance between mind, body, and soul. Yoga is her passion.

As a rehabilitated patient herself, having to relearn how to walk, twice in her life, she has experienced the therapeutic benefits of yoga. She was searching for a complete system that would merge the traditional essence of yoga, sport’s medicine, and stress reduction which is how her practice has bloomed. She strives to be an inspirational and creative leader who guides students toward awareness and control of their own bodies and minds.
