Anne Carey

Yoga Teacher

Anne came to yoga down dual paths as both a professional modern dancer and experienced public school teacher. As a dancer, yoga helped restore her alignment and balance in the midst of rigorous rehearsals and performances. As a teacher, Anne found that the yogic study of mind and body dovetailed perfectly with her belief that public education should seek to bring out the innate knowledge within each child.

She holds undergraduate degrees in both Elementary Education and Special Education as well as a MFA in Choreography and Performance from Smith College. She holds four Massachusetts Department of Education certifications- Elementary Ed. K-8, Moderate Special Needs 4-8, Performing Arts K-12, Physical Education 9-12. She was trained to be a certified yoga teacher right here at Common Ground. Having taught yoga and dance to teenagers at Lexington High School for the past 20+ years, Anne runs her classes with a sense of humor and an eye to demystifying yoga.
