Hey I’m Annie

I’m Annie Hayes-Pantony

Welcome to my website. Let me tell you about me…..

I am so lucky to have found two careers that I feel so passionate about.

Firstly being an actress. I have over the years performed in musicals, plays and at present performing in Murder Mysteries and Fawlty Towers.....I love being Sybil, not so keen on the wig though haha. There is no feeling like it, just put me on stage and I just come alive…

And then I added yoga to my life and I’ve never looked back.

Many many many years ago I was blessed with the most perfect son, I’m not biased, he actually is. It was just the two of us back then and it was wonderful. It was at that young age, finding any jobs to fit around school I found the Buddhist Centre in Croydon. Twice a week I made time to go to yoga. It made me feel amazing but admittedly it was the physical practice that I found, I had know idea there was more.

Over the years I also worked in the fitness industry and taught and managed the studio for a large health club. Something was still missing.

Well, as you know I found it…..

I found myself on the path of all things yoga. Off to Greece and then later Egypt, where I reached my 500 teacher training, learning from and with the most Inspirational Teachers.

I am deeply grateful to Jonni-lyn Friel and Nancy Candea, and my many others teachers along the way.

I’m certainly not ashamed to say that in my life I have faced depression, and the only reason I’m sharing that with you is, hand on heart it was, and is Yoga that saved me.

My Journey continues and my knowledge is ever growing.

I love the philosophy, mythology, the breathing and the asanas…hahaha…… Everything Yoga!

It can all bring such strength to the mind and body and spirit. I have grown as not only a teacher but also a person

I love that there is still so much to learn, I feel totally blessed and grateful that I can share something I feel so passionate about.

I just find yoga mind blowing, I guess that is why teaching it was an easy decision, and a decision I am forever grateful for. Yoga honestly changed my life.

MY MISSION

My mission is to help people on their journey to find the best version of themselves, finding strength mentally, physically and emotionally.

I feel honoured to serve and it brings me pure joy being a part and watching my students grow.

My hope is that I will inspire even those new to yoga, with my enthusiasm and energy.

I will always adapt and modify my teaching to allow everyone to feel included and welcome in my class, without exception.

We can only do what we can do in this moment and that is enough
