Anissa Parekh

Anissa is a passionate and devoted yoga instructor with more than eight years of experience in offering uplifting, empowering, and inclusive classes and workshops to students of all levels. She teaches a variety of styles—including Vinyasa, Hatha, Gentle, Restorative, Yin, and Yoga Nidra—through group and private classes, corporate wellness programs, and special events.

Drawing from her many years of dance training, Anissa’s classes weave together creative sequencing, encouragement, and a touch of humor to support students’ physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Music and nature inspire her teaching, creating a sense of playfulness, freedom, and joy on the mat.

A lifelong student of yoga, Anissa maintains a dedicated personal practice, and has had the pleasure of exploring yoga all around the world—from sandy beaches to ocean liners to ashrams—deepening her devotion to the practice and its ability to connect us with fellow yogis everywhere.

Beyond teaching, Anissa brings a wealth of life experience to her work. She is an Army Veteran who served nearly a decade as an active duty attorney, a professional actor, and a proud member of Actors’ Equity Association. A graduate of Williams College and Cornell Law School, she strives to bring curiosity, creativity, and compassion to everything she does.
