Anree has been practicing yoga and meditation since 1998.
Her journey of self-discovery and growing awareness of the subtle energies in and around the physical body started during a stay in a forest monastery in Thailand. Extensive travels through India, North America, Europe and South-east Asia exposed her to various aspects of the yoga philosophy and practices.
In 2002 Anree started practicing Vijñāna Yoga at Studio Asana in Amsterdam under Teresa Caldas, following the principles of Dona Holleman and Orit Sen-Gupta. Anree holds a Certified Teacher Training Certificate in Vinyāsa Yoga, as well as three Advanced Teacher Training Certificates. Her first 300hr Advanced TTC she completed with Jim Harrinton and joined him on his first group pilgrimage to Rishikesh, India.
In 2012 Anree took ownership of the beautiful YogaWithin studio, situated in the heart of the Noordhoek Garden Emporium. She facilitated & hosted the yearly philosophy teachings of Shimon Ben-Avi from Tel-Aviv, Israel and she completed her 300hr Yoga Philosophy Training under his guidance.
During her trip to the inspirational Spiritfestival in Ubud, Bali, she discovered Eoin Finn and his beautiful Blissology teachings. She flew to Vancouver Island to study his philosophy & approach to life and completed her Advanced 300hr Blissology Certification.
She is deeply inspired by all her teachers, also including Simon Borg-Olivier, Leora Leibovitz and Aditi M.Gaur, from the Himalayan Tradition.
Living in Noordhoek with her husband and three sons, Anree continues to take every opportunity to deepen her practice of yoga and meditation. Her vision is to create a fellowship of caring humans coming together to share, to connect, to support and to grow together.
