Anneke Kincaid
Yoga Instructor
Hi! My name is Anneke and I’m the yoga instructor here at the fitness center. I have a deep passion for helping students connect with their bodies and minds on a deeper level. Yoga, for me, is not just about physical movement—it’s about cultivating mindfulness, awareness, and balance. In my classes, I focus on aligning breath with movement, encouraging students to explore their full potential in a safe and supportive environment. Whether you’re just starting your yoga journey or you’re an experienced practitioner, I’m here to help you tap into your inner strength and find peace, both on and off the mat.
