Testimonials
As a longtime dancer and teacher of movement, I am very particular about who I choose to work with when it comes to my body. From our first session, I could instantly sense that Ana was not only well-informed and highly experienced, but that she also holds a deeply intuitive knowing. Ana brings curiosity, presence, joy, and creative thinking to each session. She has helped shine a light on my blind spots and patterns, and together we have been rewriting my body story. Since working with her my movement feels more intelligent, enjoyable, supported, and I am experiencing significantly less pain and headaches. I can't recommend working with her enough!
I have also had the pleasure of taking sensual movement classes from Ana. I enjoyed exploring the structured yet open-ended movement pathways that she offered. As I attended more of her classes, I started to notice that I was able to give myself more and more permission to be just who and how I am, and I realized that this practice, over time, would start to spill into my life outside of the studio. Ana's classes are a special place to witness yourself and others touch into deep inner places. This is made possible because Ana provides a well-held, safe container in which to play, explore, and discover a profound intimacy with oneself and others. It's all set to great music, led by her intentionally chosen clear and unique descriptions. More than a class, it's an experience to be had, and for many, a portal into a deeper, more authentic way of moving and being.
We are so lucky to have Ana, and all that she offers, here in our little corner of the world! I am so grateful for her!

Ana Hyatt is a remarkable teacher. Her ability to perceive the nuance of what is going on in the body is uncanny. In the face of a personal history of intense bodywork, athletics, injury, surgery, and work with many body workers, Ana has taught me about parts of my body that have been overlooked and under developed. Both in person and via Zoom, Ana has taught me about how to be in, move, adjust, and develop my body awareness, strength, and movement in ways that have been transformative. I could not recommend her more highly.

Ana is the best! I met her 13 years ago after the birth of my first baby. At the time, I had nagging pain that no one seemed to be able to help me with. I had seen several different practitioners and was still in pain. Ana helped me figure out that postpartum issue and now several issues since. When Ana moved to Colorado I was so glad we would still be able to have sessions on Zoom. Her ability to pinpoint issues and provide instructions and support over Zoom really works! She is so kind and skillful — a gifted healing practitioner whether in person or on Zoom. She has guided me to being stronger and more flexible, and she has taught me how to take care of myself when familiar issues in my body arise. I would highly recommend Ana to anyone seeking support for a specific injury or issue, or for overall strengthening and physical wellness. I am grateful for all I have learned in my work with Ana!

I’ve worked with Ana for years. To me she is a miracle worker. She understands the body and the mind so well. She can work with your body to strengthen and heal it and then teach you how to do it so you can maintain it yourself!
I first went to Ana when I was 70 because my hip hurt and my doctor had told me, “your hip has only so many more walks left in it ”. I love to walk and hike so this was very upsetting. After working with Ana I went on to walk 10 miles a day for 10 days on the Camino in Spain! That was over 9 years ago and I am still going strong thanks to Ana.
