Anetta first encountered yoga in a small, simple studio in Arlington , VA near her home town of Chevy Chase, MD. In the crowded, multi-level hatha yoga class on early Sunday morning, when asked to sit in child's pose and ‘contact the child within', she knew she had found a true love. She continued to attend hatha lessons until her arrival in Athens, Greece in 2000. After a few months of dedicated solitary study of hatha at home, she came in contact with the Athenian yoga world and continued to attend hatha classes, until in 2003, a friend encouraged her to try out ashtanga vinyasa yoga. She's been hooked ever since, making this system her personal practice and also her life. She trained to be a teacher in 2005 with Kristina Karitinos-Ireland - one of the early students of Sri Pattabhi Jois - but although the formal training is ‘over', she believes in yoga we are always really students. She has been teaching hatha and ashtanga classes in Athens, in private lessons, small groups and studios.

She is also trained in Gestalt psychotherapy, with a B.Sc. in Psychology. She has a B.Sc., M.Sc. and PhD in Biomedical Engineering and hopes that one day she will be able to integrate all her studies and life experiences into a harmonious and liberating whole.
