Hi, I’m ANNA-STINA

My background is in Civil Engineering, although I’ve never quite felt at home in the traditional Engineer’s box. I’ve always been curious about people and places, the practical and the intuitive, how we build our surroundings and how those surroundings make us feel.

For more than 15 years, I’ve worked in project management, leadership, development and research. I’ve had the opportunity to see the working life from many different perspectives — working with contractors, designers and within education, research and innovation.

Yoga came into my life around 20 years ago, but discovering Katonah Yoga in 2018 transformed the way I understood the body, our patterns and our relationship with ourselves. Since 2022, Kriya and meditation have deepened this path, making yoga not just something I practise, but part of how I live.

I became a Yoga Teacher in Spring 2024, trained as a Sound Bowl Practitioner later that year and completed my Katonah Yoga Teacher Training in Spring 2026.

Outside work, the things closest to my heart are my family and friends, the great nature and taking care of the energy we bring into the world.

Lokorum brings many threads of my life together. And I’m very happy you found your way here.
