ann marie

Ann Marie Johnston

My first real connection with Yoga came through ‘the breath’ – and ever since connecting with the breath has been a major focus on my life and now my teaching. Having noticed the personal improvement in my own health, I wanted to better understand why Yoga works the way it does. So I undertook a 500 hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2012. I have since gone on to study my Level 1 in iRest Meditation, 50 hrs of Yin Yoga, an additional 150 hours post grade and a weekend of Trauma Sensitive Yoga training from the Trauma Centre. The Yoga I practice and teach is breath-centered and mindful. I keep myself busy full time as the Founding Director of Yoga For Better Health and Global Yoga Therapy Day.
