Naomi Annand (@naomiyoga) has been teaching yoga full time since 2002. Over this time she has developed a deeply compassionate style of teaching that emphasises the therapeutic benefits of yoga and also its potential to uplift and inspire. In 2012, she set up Yoga on the Lane with the intention of creating a dynamic community of teachers and students united by their commitment to practicing mindful, breath-led, vinyasa yoga. And then, in 2015, she designed the 200hr Yoga on the Lane Teacher Training Programme, which has set more than a hundred brilliant new teachers off on their own paths. In October 2019 her first book, Yoga: A Manual for Life was published by Bloomsbury, and is currently being translated into seven languages. Yoga for Motherhood, her second book came out May 2022. Naomi believes social activism is at the heart of a yoga practice and alongside an amazing team, has developed a method and course to teach yoga to children in schools, Yoga Club: proper yoga for kids!
