about
My name is Anne Jablonski.
When people ask me what “style” I practice or teach, the only thing I can think of to say these days is, “the fun, yoga kind.” My own practice is always evolving; when I teach, I blend what’s most appropriate to the moment with what I’ve learned from the teachers who inform and continually shape my knowledge and instincts about alignment, meditation, breath, and movement.
I love the same idea when I teach: I encourage students toward a creative, alignment‐savvy practice that erases the tight spots, stills mind chatter, refines their own internal listening skills, and keeps their practice fresh and compelling.
My most influential teacher, Erich Schiffmann, describes this as Freedom Style Yoga. “Instead of deciding in advance what it is you think you’re supposed to do . . . you start transcending everything you’ve learned and intuitively start letting the alignment come through.”
Freedom Style Yoga isn't unskilled writhing around. It's skillful and intelligent listening as the resource to inform each moment of your practice.
Others whose inspiration — on and off the mat — informs my practice, teaching, and life in ways that always redound to my benefit and to whom I am ever grateful include: Kira Ryder, Rajpur, Joe Skinner, Neva Ingalls, Jackie Shaffer, Judy Nayer, Tilak Pyle, Susan Smiley, Carol Stehl, Annie Moyer, Michael Fraser, Carie Garret, Alex Levin, Gary Lemons, Saul David Raye, Laura Carpini‐Pace, Pat Winston, Annie Moyer, Krishna Das and every single student with whom I've been privileged to share a practice.
Piece-of-paper-wise:
I’m Yoga Alliance‐registered and completed the 300-hour teacher training program at Sun and Moon Yoga Studio in Virginia. That was fun.
I also spoiled myself silly with Erich’s juicy teacher training in 2006, and am continuously in awe of and inspired by his playful, fresh, authentic, and openhearted approach to yoga.
In January 2012 I was honored to participate in and complete Embodyyoga's Mindful Yoga Therapy Teacher Training program presented by the remarkable people from the Veterans Yoga Project. That program specifically focused on mindful yoga therapy for veterans coping with trauma through an empirically-informed, clinically tested program consisting of a variety of tools that connect mind and body.
