Meet Anna
Meet Anna “Jay” Jeffery — our yoga teacher at the Barn.
Anna teaches both yoga and breathwork she loves helping busy, overwhelmed people find a bit more space, ease, and presence in their day. With more than 20 years of personal practice in yoga and meditation, she’s leaned on these tools through some of the toughest seasons of her life. Now, she brings that depth of experience to her classes, offering practical, steady guidance to help you feel calmer, more confident, and more mobile.
Anna is also a lawyer by training, and now works with law students as a career counsellor. When she is not working or teaching, Anna can be found out and about in the Chelsea area, usually with her partner, two bonus kids, and pupito.
