Anna's classes have been instrumental in my path to healing. The depth of knowledge and commitment she brings to her teachings inspire a deeper relationship to both self and others. Her intuition always seems consistent with the pulse of the Universe. I am constantly amazed by her accuracy of intention, and how it aligns with what is happening directly in my life. Anna has taught me that even in the darkest of hours, if I can get on that mat and tune in, the work of kundalini will always bring me closer to a grounded self, my true intentions, and my highest calling. - Emily G.

Anna's classes are deeply transformational, healing and nurturing. Each time I attend a class, I feel utterly changed in the most positive way. Our community is deeply blessed to have such a wise and heartfelt teacher who leads yoga with LOVE and COMPASSION. Anna has an intuitive gift to speak to what is most prevalent for me at the time and to choose the aligned Kriya. I cannot emphasize enough how much I enjoy her classes and her authentic, beautiful, kind-hearted spirit. In deep gratitude! - Michaela B, Homer, Alaska

After practicing kundalini yoga with Anna Raupp for the past few years I can feel a significantly increased capacity to be with the stressors of life. The exercises build strength in the body, while the breath work and meditations are potent tools for resourcing for the nervous system. Anna is a brilliant wordsmith whose insights and reflections are as nourishing as the exercises themselves. - Macky

I have been attending Anna's Kundalini Yoga classes for about ten years. Anna's kundalini yoga classes have been an important physical and spiritual inspiration for me. She shares thoughtful and insightful information while using breathing, meditations and yoga Kriyas that always make me feel like I have shifted into a different state of being. I highly recommend Anna's class to people of any age or physical ability. - Jeanne P.

I recall my first class with Anna and being amazed at what an excellent Kundalini teacher she was. She would help me know I could stay in those poses just a bit longer while nudging me towards concentrating on mantra and focusing on my drishti. Towards the end of class, during Savasana, I felt I was floating there carefree while listening to her play the gong. Walking away from that class I was renewed and determined to continue with a daily practice. That was some 12 years ago, and many classes later. I so enjoy having her as a teacher. She picks out the best music, kriyas, and meditations all because she knows the healing benefits yoga brings. It’s definitely evident that she has truly mastered her art drawing deep inside, and then sharing that light, in hopes of helping others reach deep inside themselves too. - Marcella S.

I really enjoy Anna's Kundalini yoga classes. Anna has a lovely, gentle persona that allows me to be comfortable. Her directions are clear and she offers alternatives that might fit my body better. Her classes have deeply enriched me, and I have grown confident in being able to practice yoga outside of class so that it is a regular part of my life. - Michelle C.

I can't imagine adjusting to winters in Homer without Anna's Kundalini classes. We are so fortunate to have such a proficient practitioner here in our community who is so willing to share and care and grow her own practice and self as she guides us in our own journeys of development and unfolding selves. - Anna Meredith

Anna is an extremely gifted kundalini yoga teacher and practitioner. I have had the privilege of working with her for almost a decade. Her gentle and pivotal guidance has allowed me to discover a deep peace and significant strength within myself. I always walk away from her classes feeling changed, usually much lighter and brighter than when I entered. I feel it is remarkable to have a teacher of her caliber in a community of our size. - Devry Garity

Anna's classes are a gift. She brings a gentle care and thoughtful wisdom to each word and movement. I love how she reaches beyond the yoga world to incorporate other writings and teachings. Her classes are wonderful medicine for body, mind and soul, so needed in these times. - Jenny Bernard

Anna's classes in the community are one of the real magical treasures I am eternally grateful for. It never ceases to amaze me how in sync with life in the moment and thoroughly grounding they are in such a consistent manner. The way they unify the emotional into the practice is just the right balance. - Crane Jackinsky

Anna's classes incorporate multiple elements like a beautiful thread woven through a garment. You will be guided through the seasons with intention of heart, breath and body. The Kriyas will challenge but also prepare you for what is ahead, not even knowing the next step, in a gentle but intentional way. A chant, or song might be woven through that can spark something within that you didn't know was dormant. Practices are beautifully curated for each yogi, finishing feeling cozy, ready to take on your day. -Emily Sloth

Anna is absolutely the best kundalini yoga teacher! She is kind, grounded, and has a fierce commitment to helping her students become the most compassionate versions of themselves by utilizing the tools of Kundalini yoga and other embodied practices. - Kammi Matson

I have always enjoyed Anna’s classes and continue to be stretched ( physically and emotionally) by them. - Kathy Robinson

Anna’s yoga classes have been a transformative journey for me. Her traditional style and soothing voice leave me feeling happy, calm, balanced, and grounded after every practice. It's more than just yoga; it's a holistic experience that nurtures my sense of self and wellbeing. - Jahnie Wednesday

I’ve so enjoyed Anna’s Kundalini classes! She leads a welcoming and supportive group. - Michelle LaFriniere

Thankful for a weekend of transformation and healing

Last Friday, in a large sunny yurt kindly provided by Sandy Cronland, 20 people gathered for Anna Raupp’s first, and wildly successful, Kundalini yoga retreat. This was an opportunity for workshop attendees to have two and a half days of deeply transformational and healing yoga and meditation practice. Friday evening the participants were given a beautiful storytelling session from Anna based on a Nordic folktale that prompted the weekend’s theme: “Returning to Oneself.”

The next two full days were spent practicing Kundalini yoga, dining on homemade blueberry and buckwheat muffins and fresh soups and tea all made by Anna. Time was spent in nature, guided writing, sharing, and deep relaxation sessions to the symphonic gong. On behalf of the workshop attendees, thank you doesn’t feel big enough for what Anna provided to so many of us over those few days. An escape from the busyness and pressures of our daily lives to find our way back to our true self. It provided a reminder to listen to what our souls are asking of us, and to take the time to be still.

Thank you, Anna, for offering a space to feel safe, heard, understood, and taken care of with your storytelling and guidance. Thank you for all of the delicious and nourishing food. Thank you for the immense amount of planning and thoughtfulness you did to create this first retreat for us. But mostly, thank you for sharing your gift to help guide us all on making our journey back “home” within ourselves.

Thank you,

Workshop Yogis
