Meet Anna
yoga + mindfulness teacher
Anna is a 500hr Certified Yoga Teacher
Hey there, I am Anna Maddy and I created Inward for us!
In 2017 I began my yoga teacher journey!
Since, I have been sharing yoga in Chicago at Coconut Yoga. I studied Hatha Yoga in Kalamazoo, Michigan and received my 200hr YTT and then finished my 300hr YTT in Barcelona, Spain in the fall of 2024. My education is endless and I am always seeking new perspectives.
My sankalpa (intention) as a teacher is to lead with love above anything else. I teach from my heart and I hope you listen to yours during each practice.
You can expect to be guided through intentionally flowy and gooey classes when practicing with me that are inspired by Hatha Vinyasa.
Why Retreats?
There has always been a call within me to understand and see the world. I believe there is no better way to get to know yourself other than getting to know the world. Moving aways from your comfort zone puts life into a new perspective.
It reminds us what is really important and that life needs to be lived NOW not someday.
Spending a week away on a retreat gives us the space to slow down and embrace a new place and maybe even ourselves for the first time.
Retreating allows us to not only give us a chance to heal our hearts a bit, but it also gives us lifelong friendships and connections to people and places around the world that you may have missed if you did not take the chance and say YES!
If you do not believe me… try it for yourself and see what is waiting for you out there!
Bringing you closer Inward
Anna started Inward Yoga in 2019 to create a space for self identifying teen womxn to move safely in their bodies, learn to listen deeply to find and understand their truth, and find connection with others.
Since then Inward has expanded to all people who are searching to heal their younger self, move through their feels, and be with community!
Today Inward is taking shape in the form of International yoga retreats, 200 HR YTT, & other workshops & women’s circles.
