Invite greater ease, healing and inner alchemy into your life through custom embodiment practices, functional strength training, yoga therapeutics, holistic herbalism, and integrative self-care
Almost every day I see students and clients who are ready to take the next step towards optimal health and well-being, but they’re lacking two big things to get them there.
Sustainable practices, and individualized support.
Truthfully, there is no one-size-fits-all solution to movement or health. When I created Primal Vinyasa, the mission was simple…
To offer a holistic, body-centered, customizable method of movement and healing that’s truly accessible and empowering for ALL.
After over a decade of studying injury rehabilitation and yoga therapeutics with world-renowned teachers, I knew that the key to finding greater freedom in the body wasn’t another prescriptive model of practice…
But a universal method that would empower people to take their movement practice off the mat and integrate it into their lives.
So often, our modern society’s approach to movement and health lies in a “quick fix” allopathic approach that doesn’t honor the wholeness of who we are. The secret to optimal wellbeing isn’t more yoga, functional movement or cleanses…
It’s the integration of truly embodied movement and holistic self-care into every aspect of our daily lives.
Whether you’re a seasoned Primal Vinyasa practitioner, an athlete, aspiring movement lover, or simply want to invite greater ease, healing, and nourishment into your life…
These highly-personalized offerings are for you.
I’ve helped thousands of students and clients eliminate chronic pain, heal injuries, and ignite their own inspired path to self-inquiry and inner alchemy… and there’s no reason you can’t be next.
Through the wisdom of Primal Vinyasa, you’ll learn to build a sustainable movement and self-care practice that’s transformative on all levels, and I’ll be leading the way to make sure you’re completely supported as you step into a new, empowering blueprint and way of being.
Years of yoga, taught by Annie and Todd, have been a huge part of my career as a professional actor. I played King Lear at 80 years old and had no trouble at all speaking Shakespeare’s lines while carrying “Cordelia” in my arms. My strength and continued flexibility are so much a result of their training. I am now 85 and still very much active in the theater.

I found Annie’s Primal Vinyasa classes at a time I needed in my continuing journey to recover my confidence and capacity for movement. She blended my love of yoga and my growing interest in primal/natural moment in a skillful, creative way that resonated deeply in my body and psyche.
In private therapeutic sessions with Annie, her safe, inviting presence and skillful guidance is allowing me to find more capacity for movement that was very much needed and for which I am deeply grateful.
After working with Annie for over 11 years, I can wholeheartedly say that her knowledge, intuition, care, kindness, expertise and professionalism are what make her a trustworthy and effective holistic healer.
“Annie’s knowledge of functional movement and biomechanics propelled me to a higher level of healing post-total hip replacement. – 1 year after joint replacement, I had tissue patterns in my hip and leg that were still stuck. Where physical therapy failed, this work provided stretching and strengthening that eliminated my femoral nerve impingement… Thank you Primal Vinyasa for taking care of my physical wellbeing.”
– Anne Avgerin
“Primal Vinyasa has been an essential tool for me to reclaim my brain & body so I can live healed and whole. Annie is not only an amazing teacher, she is an inspiring woman whose magic is palpable and uplifting to any who wish to be upleveled. I am bone-deep grateful for the many layers in which my life is better because I have Primal Vinyasa, and Annie in my life.”
“Annie is a genuine person who walks her talk and has your back. I’ve never felt left in the wilderness on my own through any of her trainings or private sessions, in person or online. She’s always there to encourage, empower, and challenge you to go deeper. She has a way of explaining things that will make you believe in magic again and access a part of your soul that has been longing to rise to the surface. I’m forever changed and forever grateful to this amazing woman. Thank you Annie!”
