Annabelle was born and raised in Boise, ID, where she began practicing asana to treat somatic stress symptoms. After experiencing dramatic improvements, she continued on to train with Boise Om School to receive her 200H credentials at the age of 18. She relocated to South Florida where she studied Psychology, Sociology & Exercise Science, and later graduated with a BA. Annabelle first connected with Lakshmi Rising when she completed her 300H training with Liz, and continued on to apprentice with the school. Today, Annabelle is passionately curious about the intersection between yogic teachings and western psychophysical research. Her teachings fuse ancient yogic wisdom and practices with modern understandings of neuroscience, physiology, psychology and evolution; coupling remedies for suffering with insight into why, and how, humans actually suffer. In addition to teaching with Lakshmi Rising, Annabelle facilitates intensive and empowering retreats through her company, Pranic Path Yoga. Read more..

Cecilia Foissard, E-RYT 500

Cécilia is a French certified 500 hours Ashtanga & Vinyasa Teacher. She discovered yoga after years of competition in gymnastics when shed moved to Canada for her law and journalism studies in 2012. Former gymnast and ballet dancer, movement was part of her daily life since a very young age. First introduced to asanas, meditation came along the way. During a year, yoga became part of a daily routine. Breathing, moving, (re)connecting and sharing moments was life changing.

A first big trip in Latin America in 2014/2015 gave her the opportunity to take classes with inspiring teachers in Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. In early 2018, she took her first Ashtanga/ Vinyasa 200 hours YTT in Tampaksiring, Bali and started teaching in the French Riviera at Yoga studios, Hotels and with Private clients. The same year she taught as a guest teacher in Paraiso Yoga Studio and Anjali Casa Divina in Sayulita, Mexico. In 2021, she had the opportunity to take the 300 hour Lakshmi Rising Advanced Yoga Training Course in Costa Rica with Dr. Liz Lindh.  Cecelia was invited to join the Lakshmi Rising team as a master teacher in 2022.

Through movements, Cecilia loves sharing sweet but strong flows, sharply intuitive mixing dance of the breath and poetry of the body. She loves facilitating and holding space (colorful and flowery, always) in order to help people to move and find their own voice, together.

For her, yoga is an art, a science, a dancing meditation as well as a real way to connect to others. It’s also a fantastic tool box to learn how to observe, how to understand, how to infuse, how to heal and finally, how to bloom.

She truly considers teaching as the sweetest and the kindest duty. Teaching is actually to be at the service of the world. Gently spreading the message and sharing as much as she can for the beauty of Yoga is the most precious gift. Read more...

Satya Moses

Satya Moses can only offer a biography in the form of gratitude. He is thankful to his parents, Robert and Meenakshi, lifelong seekers on the yogic path, who raised him in a household full of practice, meditation, wafting incense smoke, and Sanskrit verse. He is eternally indebted to Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh, his family guru, by whose grace his parents met, and into whose lineage he has been initiated. He is grateful to his adopted uncle, Dr. Robert Svoboda, for guiding by example into the myriad worlds of tantric practice. He is thankful for Mark Morey and the lineage of nature school teachers who introduced him properly to the living, uncivilized world. In his late teens and early twenties Satya traveled the world synthesizing the treasures of his upbringing with the realities of life in a plethora of places, plying his trade as an artist and illustrator. He lived for six months in the Himalayas and there underwent formal yoga education and received certification with Swami Govindananda of Sivananda Yoga Vidya Peetham. He is currently in a transitional life-phase, moving out of an expansive roaming youth and toward a rooted deep-listening third era, always guided by meditation, art, and nature.
