Anna Fogg
May Khoury
Power Flow
With a dedicated practice since 2007 and teaching since 2016, I guide students through mindful, accessible yoga that honors the body and supports everyday well-being.
I hold a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training and am certified in Prenatal Yoga, bringing a diverse toolkit to classes that blend breath, alignment, and compassionate coaching.
My approach centers on creating a welcoming space for all levels, emphasizing stability, breath awareness, and thoughtful sequencing. Whether you’re new to yoga or deep into your practice, I aim to help you build strength, flexibility, and balance—inside and out.
Outside the studio, I’m energized by the outdoors: I love hiking and biking, and I treasure time with family. These activities inform my teaching, reminding me to honor pace, rest, and personal rhythm in every practice.
