Class Details

Via Yoga is pleased to welcome back Anna Carbonell. She comes to us from NYC where she is busy teaching all throughout Manhattan. This week, guests will start each day with a morning meditation followed by a strong Vinyasa flow class, in our fabulous oceanfront, open-aired yoga studio. Classes will infuse you with fluidity and confidence preparing you for your afternoon surf lessons under the expert guidance of local Via Yoga surf instructors. Evening classes will be a Yin + Restorative theme, focusing on the lower part of the body and shoulder openers; a perfect way to end the day after surfing each afternoon. Years of teaching have allowed Anna to find a unique balance that incorporates love, warmth, and compassion in the fluidity of the asanas and serenity of the Yin postures. You will find yourself restored and renewed after a week with this extraordinary teacher.

"Anna is a remarkable teacher, combining deep knowledge of how bodies work with the spiritual side of yoga. She helped me to develop--and eventually love--having a daily yoga practice." ~ Erin Randall, Via Yoga Alumni 'April 2010'

About Anna

Anna learned her first shoulder stand when she was about 4 years old from her parents, Rolando "Swami Deva Leelananda" Carbonell and Lettie Liboon, who helped pioneered yoga in the Philippines. Upon growing up, Anna took interests in other things like acting, modeling, Polynesian dancing and found herself veering away from yoga. It was not until the year 2000 did she reconnect with yoga at Jivamukti Yoga Center under Sharon Gannon, David Life, Yogeswari, Jules Febre and other extraordinary teachers. Anna decided to deepen her practice by attending and completing numerous teacher training programs, including an 800-hour Jivamukti Yoga Advance Teacher Training and Yin Yoga certification with Sarah Powers.
