Annelie Lily

Annelie has been practising yoga for most of her life and her first experience of yoga was practising the ‘lion breath’ at around the age of six with her parents. Over the years, Annelie has experimented with yoga styles ranging from Hatha and Iyengar to Ashtanga, Kundalini and Vinyasa flow.

In 2010, Annelie began her yoga teacher training with Angela Ashwin and the British Wheel of Yoga (BWY). Annelie qualified as a Hatha yoga teacher with BWY in 2013. Annelie’s style of teaching incorporates the BWY teaching traditions of asana and pranayama into her classes but also brings her own distinctive style to her classes, largely influenced by Ashtanga and Vinyasa flow. Annelie also incorporates chakra healing techniques into her yoga classes.

Annelie undertook a transcendental meditation course in 2013 and likes to incorporate a short meditation practice at the end of her classes to enable her students to experience the benefits of meditation.
