About Anahata

Anahata Giri’s love of yoga and meditation has spanned 23 years and she has been teaching for 7 years. In her first yoga class at nineteen, she knew she had found ‘home’. Anahata explores a wide range of yoga practices to not only bring life to the body, heart and mind but to bring us home to our innate wholeness.

Her approach to asana and flowing movement is both dynamic and mindful and explores embodiment, the breath and deep alignment principles. Her classes also explore meditation as the essence of yoga and as a way to fully embrace life itself. When we bring our awareness to the full presence of each moment, then a deep ease and inspiration naturally arises.

She is dedicated to yoga as an open, unlimited path that students discover for themselves. Each student's yoga path is unique. Anahata has explored yoga through many life changes including through the pregnancy and the birth of her son. The deepest yoga path we can walk is to live our yoga and meditation practice in our daily life. Then our yoga is authentic, real and life-changing.

Anahata teaches in Melbourne at the Gertrude Street Yoga Studio in Fitzroy and Prana House in Thornbury. Anahata is a member and a Victorian Representative of The Yoga Teachers Association of Australia (YTAA).

Anahata is grateful for all the yoga teachers that have inspired her, especially: Paul Wooden from the Gertrude Street Yoga Studio, Prahlad from The Yoga Arts Academy, Dr. Nagaraj from India and Diane Long, long-term student of Vanda Scaravelli. For spiritual inspiration she is grateful to: Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi (Amma).
