Meet Anu!
I am Anu, founder of Shvaas. ‘Shvaas’ means ‘breath’, the life-force that permeates in everyone.
I began practicing yoga in 2012. My practice has been dedicated in Hatha, Vinyasa and Iyengar styles of yoga.
To further deepen my practice and understanding, I completed 3 years yoga teacher training. I am now a registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Australia, which is recognised as the peak body for Yoga in Australia. I continue to study ongoing to deepen my understanding of yoga.
As a teenager, I competed in track and field sports, which instilled discipline and a committed fitness regime. As a young adult, I started to understand my passion and respect for good health and wellbeing.
This led me to inquire a holistic and sustainable approach which guided me towards Yoga!
I started my practice with a focus on building a strong foundation in my asanas. But yoga took me beyond physical benefits and embracing my body. It helped quieten my mind, accept and tolerate myself, and be open to possibilities.
I am curious and exploratory in my approach. This informs my sessions which range from Vinyasa flow to Yin yoga classes. I focus on helping people progress and deepen their practice, built on foundations of strong technique and yogic philosophy.
My practice in the different styles of yoga means that I can tailor the sessions to be dynamic, suit individual needs (beginner or advanced), create a safe but challenging experience, and support through injuries.

Two decades in a fast paced, complex corporate environment gave me an insight into the importance of investing in mental health and wellbeing. My yoga practice opened doors for me to explore Mindfulness via the traditional method of Pranayama.
A strong Mindfulness practice complemented and enhanced my leadership.

I am invited to talk at industry forums, corporates and universities to share thoughts on leadership, strategies for amplifying success, and empowering to unleash the untapped potential.
