  • It is an absolute pleasure to attend Annik’s Vinyasa+Core Pilates Yoga classes. Her extensive knowledge and wisdom in body mechanics, anatomy/physiology, holistic medicine and spirituality is creatively and lovingly weaved into her unique teachings in an empowering and motivating way.

    I always enjoy the energy, intentions and skillfull cues she imparts while inspiring the class to flow mindfully, gracefully and fluidly. Her love and passion for yoga, movement and the body transcends every class and leaves one feeling grateful, joyful and enlightened.

    Thank you for all that you do and all that you stand for.

  • "I love Annik’s yoga/pilates classes- she’s amazing. I'm in awe at how she “holds space” or leads classes. I think she does great service to others, helping ppl get on their path to health, movement and spirituality. I always feel great after practicing with her. Annik~ thank you for sharing your magic, your healing and your power with all of us. It's inspiring. Looking forward to many more classes with you when I’m back in Sayulita~ which is every winter."

  • Annik’s classes are professional, fun and educational.

    I’ve been attending Annik’s’ yoga and Pilates classes in Sayulita and San Pancho for years. Classes are fun and she always adds educational nuggets. I always leave having learned something new.

    Her classes have helped me heal old and new surf injuries. Through on-going practice with Annik’s Pilates I’ve developed a new understanding and awareness of my core~ how to strengthen it in ways that help me with my surfing and to prevent injuries.

    Annik gives us tools to be able to take the practice home to up-keep our progress between classes.

  • I wish I lived in Sayulita so I could go to Annik’s yoga and Pilates classes all the time!!! She was my favourite teacher when she taught in Vancouver and we miss her teachings there.

    Her classes are fun/entertaining and she is so knowledgeable. She has a fitness and Pilates background and is deeply into yoga philosophy so I feel like we get the best of all worlds with her.

    Sayulita is a quick fllght away and I visit twice a year. Being able to go to Annik’s classes here is awesome! I can stay consistent with my yoga practice while on my getaway and attend quality classes with an experienced and qualified instructor.
    Thank you Annik.
