Dr. Anna Easterling, PT, DPT, E-RYT 200

Yoga Instructor

As a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Mindful Movement Guide, Anna believes in the integration of evidence-based movement practices with the attitude of innovation and artistry that fuels crafting sessions that are as unique as the individuals present. With 20 years of experience, Anna has guided more than 10,000 therapeutic sessions and movement classes across wide ranging settings, such as wellness studios, recreation and community centers, spas and resorts, universities, astronomical observatories, parks, domestic violence shelters, outpatient physical therapy clinics, mental health hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, digital platforms - and even, on top of the Blue Ridge Mountains near her home in Asheville. Wherever the sharing of these practices may lead, she continues to be inspired by the resilience and empowerment of the human spirit, and our abilities to ignite our bodies’ innate healing powers through awareness, breath and movement.

Anna says: "What a joy to be a part of the Skyterra team! This community invites us into the supportive space to exhale slowly and inhale richly, to connect with compassionate awareness, and to share zestfulness for health and wellness."
