Anna Papadakis
Jivamukti Yoga Teacher
Living Liberated on Long Island, New York.
After living a fast paced life in Manhattan, I felt that it was necessary to take up and master a craft that emphasized the beauty behind learning how to slow down and become one with the earth. With this intention in mind and my desire to help others on their personal path to self discovery, I began to uncover the true power behind yoga. Practicing yoga has taught me the valuable lesson of learning how to be flexible, not only physically but, also mentally. It is this exact concept that allows me to ride the wave of uncertainty that is life.
Finding Yoga
In order to learn more about the practices behind the breath work and meditation, I travelled to India for a year. While there, I completed over 500 hours, helping others find enlightenment through compassion within the Jivamukti Method and had the opportunity to work alongside Sharron Gannon. I am eternally grateful for my teacher Padma- Ji, Sharron Gannon. As a breathwork and meditation facilitator, I aspire to inspire others to find bliss within their own lives through the teachings of yoga.
Madre Cacao
With the purpose of continuing my journey in finding various ways to heal and nourish the mind, body, and soul, I travelled to Pisac, Peru. It was in this beautiful town that I first discovered the magical spirit of Madre Cacao and her immense heart transcending properties. Cacao has brought bliss to my heart and has helped me experience breakthroughs within my own personal journey and has allowed me to overcome obstacles of my past. In an effort to share the wonderful healing experiences offered to me by madre cacao, I now offer private one on one Cacao ceremonies as well as group cacao ceremonies.
Come join me wherever you are in your practice so we can stoke that inner fire and go to the deep well of joy within our hearts. You will be encouraged to explore, discover, and look for the light deep inside your heart so you can let peace flow into all aspects of your life.
Be thankful for everything that happens in your life; it’s all an experience.
