GUEST TEACHERS
Anneke Lucas founded Liberation Prison Yoga in 2014. As a survivor of child sex trafficking and extreme violence, she used elements of her own healing journey to develop programs based on how she would have wished to be treated in her young adult life. A close analysis of those people who were able to get through to her when she was shut down by trauma forms the cornerstone of LPY’s philosophy – for Liberation teachers to become those people; aware and unconditionally present for their students.
Anneke is an advocate for sex trafficking survivors and also speaks on the subject. She is writing a book about her healing journey, Seeds Beneath the Snow: Post Traumatic Growth and Purpose in Dark Times represented by Sam Hiyate at The Rights Factory
Sierra Alea is a 500 RYT yoga teacher. She received her training at YogaWorks in NYC. Her passion lies in exploring movement and breath within her body, while cultivating connectedness within her community.
Sierra's focus is to create space in areas of the body that are stiff while promoting strength and ease. Her classes are playful in exploration and kind to the body with a heavy emphasis on alignment.
