Naomi Annand was a dancer in the Royal Ballet company until her career was curtailed by injury. This traumatic, sudden and very early end to what had been the sole focus of her life since she was twelve prompted her to take herself around the world searching for therapeutic tools to heal her body and mind. It was on this journey that she discovered the extraordinary therapeutic power of yoga, and she has been teaching ever since. In 2012, she set up her own studio, Yoga on the Lane, in Dalston, where, along with her cohort of teachers, she teaches students of all stripes, and runs a highly regarded teacher training program.
