Chi-Town Shakti
Anna Goldman, RYT 200 & Prenatal Certified Instructor
About Anna Goldman, RYT 200:
Anna was introduced to yoga asana and meditation in her childhood. As students in the Transcendental Meditation school, her parents taught her about mantra, yoga philosophy, and the few postures they practiced. She attended Point Park dance conservatory for two years, after which she traveled briefly with the India chapter of the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS). Anna received her degree from Naropa University in Boulder, where she studied the mind-body relationship through a Bachelor of Arts in Contemplative Psychology, focusing in Somatic Psychology. Post graduation, she returned home to Chicago where she followed her love for movement, concentration and experiencing the body into life as a professional dancer, doula, and eventually a yoga teacher.
Anna chose the Shambhava school of yoga for her teacher training certificate because she seriously enjoyed her teachers laid back style. The kind, present and happy attitude of her Shambhava yoga teachers was refreshing and gave her a new way to practice yoga. She received her 200 hour certification through Chi-Town Shakti in June 2009. She then received her Pre-Natal Certificate (30 hours) from Shoshoni Yoga Retreat in Rolinsville, CO and completed Level 3 (60 hour) teacher training with Swami Omkari Devananda at Chi-Town Shakti in February of 2011.
Anna loves yoga because of its ability to combine movement with spiritual practice, focus, awareness, and attention. She loves to share her passion for movement, and couples it with her knowledge of anatomy and physiology to create a focus on alignment and breath. Anna has experienced the joy and serenity felt when becoming aware of the living, moving, breathing body and hopes to share this love with her students.
