Yoga with Anysa

Anysa came to yoga the way many of her students do: not through an Instagram aesthetic but through a personal need that nothing else was answering. She trained on returning to London under the senior teachers of the Fierce Grace school — Yogis Michele Pernetta, Emma Croft, Karen Bellfield, and Mark Oram — completing the Fierce Grace Intensive teacher training and the school’s injury-modifications coursework. Fierce Grace’s lineage is rigorous; the teachers Anysa learned from are among the most experienced practical yoga educators in the United Kingdom, and the training emphasizes the hard-won middle ground between athletic vinyasa and therapeutic restorative practice.

She did not stop there. She trained as a Rainbow Kids Yoga instructor — one of the few internationally accredited paths for teaching yoga to children — and added the Baby Bliss pre- and post-natal yoga teacher training, which qualifies her to work with women through pregnancy and recovery. She also completed Chair Yoga teacher training, which is the credential that lets her work safely with people who have limited mobility, who are recovering from injury or surgery, who are older, or who simply cannot get on the floor without help. The combined coursework is more than 400 hours.

The Yoga with Anysa channel is the public-facing version of that toolkit. The videos move across the full spectrum — strength-and-flexibility flows for active practitioners, gentle classes for beginners, sequences explicitly designed for limited mobility, kids’ classes, and slow grounding floor sequences for the days when nothing else will fit. The teaching voice is consistent: active, uplifting, accessible, and unembarrassed about giving modifications instead of pushing harder. If you have ever walked out of a yoga class feeling worse about your body than you did when you walked in, Anysa’s classes are written specifically for you.

Beyond the channel she runs in-person classes and private sessions in London, leads yoga retreats, and teaches a small online catalog through her website. The retreats lean toward the same ethos as the classes — community-built, multi-instructor, openly enchanted with the whole project of getting people on a mat together. She is also a working student in her own right; her bio openly describes her teaching as “a winding journey” and emphasizes that she is still learning, which is true of every honest yoga teacher and acknowledged by very few.

What makes Anysa worth watching on this site, alongside teachers with much larger channels, is the breadth of what she can teach safely. Most yoga channels on YouTube are built around a single body type, a single vibe, and a single ability level. Anysa’s catalog assumes the audience includes a 70-year-old recovering from a hip replacement, a 35-year-old in her second trimester, a kindergartener whose teacher has put on yoga as a settle-down activity, and a 22-year-old athlete looking for hip-opener work — and it serves all of them without making any of them feel like they wandered into the wrong room. That is rare. It is also, given the demographics of the average self-improvement audience, exactly the kind of teacher this site needs more of.
