Your Host and Yoga Teacher: Anya

We met Aya several years ago when she was teaching at H2O Yoga & Meditation retreat in Indonesia, years later we approached Anya as we thought she would be perfect for Keela and she then hosted our first Yoga Retreat are very first yoga retreat  in 2017.  We are so grateful that she is coming back in 2018 to give you an opportunity to come and enjoy her retreat.

Anya has been teaching Yoga since 2009, mostly in Berlin where she is based, and also as a returning guest teacher in Bali and Thailand. Not only is she an amazing yoga teacher, her connection to the land, quietness and involvement in all things going on the farm from building with mud to cooking vegetarian food from the land or gardening makes her the most perfect yoga teacher for keela Yoga Farm.

Anya teaches the whole path of yoga, integrating the ancient and valuable roots of Vedanta philosophy with a modern-day awareness of the natural biomechanics of the body. Her classes guide students back to a sense of natural lightness, brightness and simplicity in the fullness of what is already here and now.

Your other Laurence and Kimberly Manchee and some volunteers will be helping to entertain you, feed you and involve you in activities around the farm if you wish. You will experience a community living in its most relaxed form.
