A soulful, strength-building vinyasa practice invites balance in body, mind, and spirit, guided by Anne-René at The Alembic.

She began studying yoga in New York City in the 1990s and earned Vinyasa teaching certification from the White Lotus Foundation in 2008. Her approach is shaped by many teachers and lineages, including Ty Landrum, Sara Baird, Erin Dudley, Keith Borden, Cindi Lee’s Om Yoga Center, Laughing Lotus Yoga, and the anatomical work of Irene Dowd and Leslie Kaminoff, along with inspirations from Krishnamurti, Ram Das, Kundalini yoga, Gaga, and Gyrotonic. She draws creative fuel from the natural world, poetry, the resilience of people, and everyday kindness, and she embraces practice as an ongoing journey.
