About Anna Beth

Anna Beth Rousakis is a Brooklyn-based yoga teacher who offers group classes and private sessions locally and on Zoom. Rooted in the belief that yoga benefits people of all ages, shapes, and abilities, her classes foster an environment that encourages students to get curious, listen to their bodies, and craft a practice that allows them to live more comfortably within themselves. Whether she is teaching vinyasa flow, postpartum yoga, or more targeted therapeutic practices, her teaching is grounded in alignment, balance, and recognizing the the intrinsic and healing connection between mind, body, and spirit. Through mindful movement, breath work, meditation, and deep relaxation, she facilitates a respect for the body's physical and mental abilities and its capacity for growth, resilience, and renewal.

Anna Beth's passion is bringing the wisdom of the yoga tradition into a therapeutic context. As a yoga therapist, she relishes working one-on-one with clients to tailor a practice that addresses specific conditions, concerns, or injuries and leads them to a more embodied, integrated, and attuned state of well-being, both on and off of their mats.

"I started weekly private sessions with Anna Beth about five years ago, after completing a year of treatment for breast cancer. My body was stiff, range of motion for my upper body was very limited, and I was depleted. Anna Beth was and continues to be very approachable, gentle, and easily able to guide me through poses that both work for my body and help me develop my yoga practice. She is very adept at adapting our sessions as my body has healed and evolved. I always look forward to my sessions with Anna Beth, they are a fundamental part of my continued wellbeing!" - JSL
