What others say:

"Anna has put many years of expertise as a yoga teacher, breath coach and health practitioner into a wonderfully accessible and immediatelty practical CD - "Relax and Breathe". The listener may choose from a variety of meditative experiences from the simple to the advanced. Each of these exercises increases its benefit with continued practice. Anna's soothing voice which embodies the disciplines she teaches makes the repeated practice easy and delightful, whether the exercises are being used for meditation, relaxation or healing."

"Wow, your CD is terrific! Your story inspires me. This CD provides valuable relaxation experience, to be used whenever one wants. Your voice control is impressive; the pace and tone are so well done that they do not interfere with the process. I've been in your class and still I am impressed. I am also excited to find a non-medicinal aid for insomnia. What a great tool!"
