  Anna Laurita is a teacher I will forever carry with me. Her 200hr YTT offered me a beautiful foundation to build up & out of as well as continue to root deeper into. Her teachings have continued to provide me new lessons in the present & I am forever grateful to have been able to train with her.

  Anna is absolutely amazing. I am beyond grateful to have received my 200hr yoga teacher training from her. Davannayoga was the most beautiful and special yoga shala. I miss her and her lovely studio.

  The first things Anna said to me when she handed over my certification was "Never stop teaching", she said. If you are reading this, you also can be a Teacher ( at anything in life). It is the best gift one can give to others is their wisdom that we already know of within in and pass that down to others. Whether that's on the mat or off into the world.

  Anna Laurita has created and fostered an idyllic environment for yoga teacher training courses and workshops. From the first moment I stepped into the beautiful Shala sanctuary in Puerto Vallarta, I was welcomed into her loving, caring and inclusive Davannayoga community. I had enrolled in the 200 hour YTT program primarily to deepen my personal breath and physical practice. But her encouragement and guidance was so transformational that I have been inspired to go beyond and teach others. In this comprehensive course, she presented the perfect blend of physical asanas and pranayama but more importantly a firm foundation for the 8 limbs of yoga. The assigned reading books were thought provoking and her own reference manual is a a well-thumbed resource that I treasure. Top notch guest instructors augmented our studies about physical arm balances, core spiritual values, and a holistic chiropractor’s perspective on modifications for common injuries. Learning the proper cues and the science of intelligent sequencing were invaluable for constructing a class, and teaching to our classmates provided the opportunity to build confidence in front of others. Discovering just how much work is involved in the preparation, I have a whole new appreciation for Anna’s challenging and fun hatha and vinyasa sessions! As well, Anna introduced us to specialized yoga practices targeted for prenatal, children, seniors and restorative. And on a practical basis, she offered guidance and real world business experience for marketing ourselves as yoga professionals - even including a photo shoot. Anna tailored the training to what each of us needed as students, thoughtfully sharing resources and connections for our unique individual interests. A special extracurricular treat was our ’karma’ hike to Las Animas - picking up trash to maintain the spectacular oceanside trail, followed by a delicious beachside lunch and scenic coastal boat trip. Anna is an exemplary role model for living the yogic lifestyle on and off the mat - I feel truly blessed and privileged to have met and studied with her. And a special thanks to the ‘animal therapy’ provided by cute puppy Maggie and loving purring kitty Hope. Namasté
