In 2001, Ana Hansen began her formal studies in yoga and Pantanjali's Yoga Sutras. Her first yoga class was a video with Patricia Walden, given to her by her twin sister, Melissa. In the summer of 2003, she completed Yoga Alliance's 200 hour level teacher training through 7 Centers Yoga Arts in Sedona, Arizona. Here is where she met many of her gurus of yoga: Rama Jyoti Vernon, Shraddhasaggar, and Ambaya. Shortly after receiving her 200 hour level training, she worked at 7 Centers Yoga Arts as a yoga instructor and an ayurvedic chef for the teacher training programs. She received darshan from Sri Karunamayi, an embodiment of divine motherly love. Also, she reveived darshan from Ammaji, the hugging saint of India. Ana Hansen continues to study them as examples of holy women. In 2005, Ana completed her Yoga Alliance 500 hour level teacher training program with the International Yoga College. This time she concentrated her studies on Conflict Resolution as taught by Rama Jyoti Vernon and Max Lafser. In 2006, she opened and operated Embody Yoga in Phoenix, Arizona.

What Ana is Reading

David Frawley's Yoga and Ayurveda
Any yoga practitioner is really going to want this one on their bookshelf. Dr. Frawley's writing is rich and fluid. It is an easy read and he defines the terms in everyday language.

William R. Levacy's Beneath a Vedic Sky
The field of Vedic Astrology is mind-blowing. This is only one of many resources that explain it so that a Westerner can understand it. Suggestion: Read this one a little bit at a time and use it as a reference often.

Pantanjali's Yoga Sutras
Ana is always picking apart this one. She has been studying it more often to keep up with her study group in Tucson. Pantanjali is so profound. There is so much to say about this sacred scripture.
