Meet Anastasia
Where Movement Meets Transformation

Anastasia Smirnova is not just a yoga teacher — she’s a guide into deeper connection, resilience, and awakening.

​

A Yoga Alliance-certified instructor with advanced training in Forrest Yoga and Vinyasa, and a Master’s in Neuroscience from King’s College London, Anastasia brings together the precision of science with the wisdom of ritual. Every session she leads is breath-infused, awareness-driven, and designed to ignite transformation — physically, emotionally, and energetically.

​

She’s studied under masters like Ana Forrest, Sri Dharma Mittra, Stewart Gilchrist, Ty Landrum, and Marcus Veda. Her teaching fuses the spiritual heart of Dharma Yoga, the breath-led strength of Forrest, and the dynamic flow and playfulness of Vinyasa.

​

Her signature classes — Warrior’s Edge and Blooming Glow — go beyond movement. They are sacred containers to meet yourself fully, soften what no longer serves, and grow vibrant inner clarity and strength. Her students often describe her classes as challenging, healing, and deeply personal.

But her work goes beyond the mat.

​

Anastasia is also a neuroscientist, software engineer, and resilience educator. She has developed machine learning tools for brain imaging, taught coding and systems at the university level, and now leads workshops combining neuroscience, embodiment, and practical tools for personal transformation.

​

She is the founder of Slope Rider Club, an initiative to bring digital safety and responsibility to skiing through AI and certification systems — rooted in her own decades-long passion for the mountains and a profound personal survival story.

​

Whether through breath, movement, systems, or story — Anastasia’s work is high-touch, thoughtful, and transformative. Perfect for those ready to move, breathe, and truly come alive.
