Testimonials
"ah Yoga is a wonderful oasis for yogis. I’ve been practicing yoga (in San Francisco and New York City) since the mid-90s, so I feel very qualified to say that Anne is a truly gifted teacher, who is able to balance all the key aspects of a yogic practice - breathing, reflection, and physical posture. She can challenge the most experienced yogis physically - adeptly ramping up and down to ensure the appropriate modifications for each student. But most importantly for me, Anne has a presence that immediately encourages a stillness and focus in your mind. And, that is why to me she is a natural teacher. You will leave her classes more centered and balanced every time. I highly recommend."

"After several years away from taking a yoga class and relocating from NYC, I found Anne in 2020. Although I had some experience, I considered myself a beginner. I've been taking weekly private yoga sessions with her since.
I had developed a few physical challenges since my earlier days of yoga. Anne has been very patient and cognizant of my weak areas, ensuring I can handle the poses and do them correctly.
With Anne’s masterful instruction, I have made major advancements in my practice and feel better than I have in years!
She is always respectful of the type of session I am up for, from relaxing to challenging, and I am thrilled to report that I generally ask for more challenge now.
Her soothing manner and detailed instruction throughout our sessions make them calm and invigorating at the same time.
I hope Anne continues to do this for years to come because I will always be a client."

"We were relatively new to yoga and our new home neighborhood after leaving the city. Finding Anne and the group of lovely folks that practice with her has given us a link into our community and has become a precious weekly event in our busy schedules. Leaving our yoga on a Saturday morning we always feel more centered - the investment in both our physical and mental wellbeing is the best we have ever made."

'I started taking yoga less than a year ago at the urging of my doctors and therapist from the VA. It has changed my life in many ways, I have gained my balance and greater movement of my joints much to my surprise. I currently do 3 times a week and look forward to each session. Anne is so committed to the practice that she inspires you to continue and improve without it being a chore, but a self inspired will to better yourself in practice of the movements. The overall experience has created a more well being of both physical and mental state. I highly recommend Anne and her staff to help you gain a feeling of over all health. The readings and explanation of the practice and the movements are truly inspirational and are highly recommended.
Namaste,"

"I have been in classes with Anne for several years. I appreciate so much that each instructor’s personality comes through, and they are all lovely and clear and helpful. Anne, especially, has a kindness about her voice and guidance which is never cloying, but genuine and reassuring. She is great at guiding you inward, and articulate about exactly what you want to look for physically. I really appreciate that all the instructors come around and gently adjust you if you need it. The space is welcoming and attractive and the vibe is friendly. A rousing Bravo for ah Yoga!! Yay!!"

"I wonder why it took me so long to investigate this class. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about six years ago. Some days I can’t even get out of my own way. Since starting Gentle Yoga my physical well being has greatly improved. I was so surprised at the immediate effect it had. The side benefit of the calming nature of the class makes it a perfect combination for an aching body in this crazy fast paced world. A great way to spend some “me” time."
– Linda Nelson
"I have been practicing yoga with Anne for a few years now, and have found her classes to be non-intimidating, very helpful, and filled with so much wonderful guidance and information that I can carry into my daily living. I feel so much better, physically, and mentally since I’ve been in Anne’s classes.
From the very first day I walked into ah Yoga, to today, her studio feels like a safe haven from the turbulence of the outside world. For those 60 minutes, you come away feeling great, inside and out.
Thank you for always providing a wonderful yoga experience!"

"The most important quality of yogins is authenticity, which Anne exemplifies. It's an honor to have been her student, friend, and colleague. In this day and age, those who practice, preserve, and propagate the yogic teachings are rare. They selflessly honor the lineages from ages past so they remain alive. Thank you always."

"I decided to try the ah Yoga gentle yoga class this past Sunday. It was an hour of pure joy. Initially, coming from Kent, I thought Washington was just too far. I was wrong. The drive was delightful.
The class was perfect. Meditative, gentle, yet energizing. Anne orchestrated an interesting mix of poses with easy to follow direction. It was just the way yoga is supposed to be. Music was subtly introduced and enhanced the flow of the class. Plus, doing yoga in the historic Washington Club Hall is an extra treat. The vibe is amazing. All very nice.
I am hooked. I highly recommend!"

"I didn't do yoga until I was in my fifties because
"The moment I walked into Anne’s class, I felt instantly welcomed and relaxed.
The extraordinary instruction and knowledge provided in her classes continue to encourage and enhance my yoga experience.
It has truly been life changing and I am forever grateful to Anne for her support and service to each and every one of us. A gift really - and one I cherish every day!
Thank you for providing such beautiful space, tutoring and joy that captures the philosophy and presence of movement, all of which calms my mind and keeps my aging body healthy and strong."

"I’ve been studying yoga with Anne ever since she began teaching. As a massage therapist, I appreciate her attention to detail when it comes to directing the class through a posture. She has a wonderful knowledge of the body and enthusiasm for learning new ways of teaching and increasing her knowledge. Her warmth and bright Spirit add so much to my enjoyment of her class!"

"I have been attending Anne Hungerford’s yoga class for almost 2 years. She is a thoughtful, dedicated and skilled yoga teacher. I feel energized after her class; my body and mind are refreshed. I am so fortunate to have Anne as my yoga teacher. The last time I went to her class, I said, “thank you for curing my depression.” I felt revitalized, happy and inspired. Love her classes!"
– Angie Silverstein
"ah Yoga has become “my happy place” where I’m able to relax and truly focus on the moment in front of me. The teachers at ah Yoga are kind hearted, patient and dedicated to meeting each student “where they are” on their yoga journey. ah Yoga is a safe place where I’m able to learn about the practice, grow as a yogi, and walk out in a better mindset than when I stepped in."
– Danielle
"Anne has this way of explaining what to do in a certain position even if you cannot see her tp copy it. I have had many yoga teachers through out the years. Anne stands out as clear and descriptive, besides being, of course, beautiful, generous and warm! I truly miss not being in Washington now to take her classes!"
