Anna’s inner journey began in the early 1990s, when a deep curiosity about life, consciousness, and human potential led her to explore a wide range of personal development programs, leadership programs, spiritual traditions, and healing practices.

Over the years she has studied and practiced ancient wisdom paths including mystical Christianity, Advaita Vedanta, the Tantric tradition of Shaivism, Sufism, Buddhism, shamanism, and various forms of yoga, mindfulness, and energy medicine. Her exploration has also included body-based modalities such as holistic massage, Shiatsu, and Access Consciousness bodywork. Along the way she has had the privilege of learning from renowned teachers and meeting truly inspiring beings, including her beloved friend Swaha, to whom she remains deeply grateful.

Originally from Sweden, Anna now lives in Italy with her partner and their daughters. Before dedicating herself fully to this path, she worked internationally in PR and communications, radio journalism, and product development and spent several years in the worlds of fashion and sports.

After a series of profound life changes, Anna chose to step away from a fast-paced international career and create a different way of living. She became a full-time yoga teacher and moved from Sweden to a small mountain village in central Italy, where she now lives close to nature with her family, surrounded by horses and wild landscapes. From this peaceful base she continues to collaborate on projects, seminars, and retreats around the world.

Anna was one of the pioneer teachers at Yogayama in Stockholm in 2005 and has been creating retreats in Italy since 2002. She is the founder of Anayoga Italy and the Being Your Brilliance Retreats.

Her work invites people to listen more deeply to their bodies, explore the language of energy, and reconnect with their authentic way of being. Anna’s passion is empowering others to trust their own knowing and unlock the natural brilliance that already exists within them.
