Ann moved to Evergreen in 1978 for the serenity of the mountains. She is a life long horsewoman and in 2001 started her study of Natural Horsemanship. After a cervical fusion, Ann started taking yoga classes to heal her body from years of horse and auto accidents. It was then she decided to pursue her passion of helping people heal their bodies. After graduating from Core Power Yoga in March of 2005, Ann was looking for something to compliment her yoga, and found Nia. In Nov of 2005 received her White belt certification and started teaching. Her Blue belt was accomplished in May of 2008, followed by a certification of Nia 5 Stages April 2009. Next came Brown belt certification in June 2009. In May of 2010 she did her Green belt, followed by her Black belt certification in Aug 2010. Since 2005 she has attended many yoga and Nia workshops in her quest of knowledge to help people awaken their senses through the JOY of Movement. When not teaching she spends time at home with her horses or playing music with her band The Rhubarb Project.
