Annika’s yoga practice began when she was young. Her peppy, Norwegian mother would haul her out of bed for early morning classes at a family friend’s house. A small group of women would congregate weekly for a powerful Ashtanga practice in a cozy, bright, sunroom. When she got older, she appreciated those early foundations as she found pranayama, meditation, and asana to be a beautiful finale to her long trail runs in Vermont's Green Mountains. Annika, who has been teaching yoga at Mangala Yoga Telluride for years now, eventually stumbled on Reiki Energy Healing. She found it to be a vital and missing piece to her ongoing search for the perfect holistic approach to health. Join Annika for a reflective and deeply intentional Yin Yoga Practice or Reiki Session.
