With over twelve years of teaching experience, Ann’s passion for a holistic lifestyle includes many disciplines that incorporate an awareness of body, mind and heart. A leading figure in the health and wellness industry in Asia, Ann’s passion started with Fitness where she qualified and led many Group Exercise Programmes for the first time in Asia. She is also a qualified Personal Trainer, Stress Management Facilitator and Masseuse. Ann left the UK in 1988. Working for a year each in America and Australia, Ann settled in Hong Kong in 1991 and now resides in Singapore. Having lived and worked in Asia since this time, she has gained a rich understanding of Eastern wellness practices and cultures.
Her strong fitness background naturally led her in to the enquiry of mind/body practices such as Yoga and Pilates, where Ann’s teaching is now focused. Her knowledge of Yoga, Pilates and Fitness allows Ann to uniquely offer a balanced teaching approach to physical, mental and emotional health in a down-to-earth and personable style. Through various tools and techniques and through the cultivation of self-awareness and self-care, her intention is to simply inspire others to acquire a fit body, a calm focused mind and a nurtured heart - to feel a sense of total well-being that enhances day to day existence that empowers others to make positive lifestyle changes.

Ann’s enjoyment of many yoga styles is evident in her interdisciplinary teaching style, blending the appropriate styles dependent on the goals, physical constraints and personality of her students. Pilates and Core Conditioning are also a major focus of Ann’s teaching offering a deeper understanding of the body and the way we move. Ann continues to deepen her knowledge in her chosen disciplines by venturing around the world to study with world-renowned teachers and attends yearly retreats and teacher trainings for her personal and professional growth.
As a Wellness Consultant, Ann has worked with some of Asia’s finest Hotel/Spa groups, including COMO Shambhala, Mandarin Oriental and Four Seasons. She teaches Yoga and Pilates in Singapore and has taught at many premium facilities and private membership clubs in Hong Kong.
Ann looks forward to sharing her passion and knowledge as an Urban Healing Wellness Partner during our Movement Retreats with you.
