The Art of Presence: Diving Deep Into Strength, Purpose, & Peace with Annie Hartkemeyer

Annie has over 10 years of experience teaching yoga, Pilates, and various movement modalities. She worked for several years as a yoga therapist at a neurology practice, where she helped patients re-pattern neural pathways for muscle movement, rebuild their strength, and address chronic pain via meditation, breath techniques, yoga, and other physical and alignment-based work. She has extensive experience teaching pre and postnatal yoga and Pilates, and considers it an honor to work with women during this incredibly special time in their lives. She is passionate about her work with veterans and those suffering from PTSD, and has volunteered at veteran centers and domestic violence shelters across the five boroughs. Annie has taught movement, wellness, and yoga workshops in many corporate and hospitality environments including Condé Nast, Misha Nonoo, the Shimano Bikes, the Park Avenue Hyatt, Lloyd's Banking Group, the United Nations, and many more.

Annie has a private practice in Manhattan, and offers in-home yoga, yoga therapy, Pilates, rehabilitative movement, and healing sessions. These one-on-one sessions are extremely focused on whatever the individual needs, and she takes great joy in helping clients discover their ability to heal themselves. Her clients range in experience levels and profession -- everyone from students to marathon runners to CEO's to Grammy Award winners.

Annie is also a professional actor and director and studied at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting, where she now directs and is on faculty in the movement department. Her creative spirit informs her eclectic, inspired teaching style and permeates everything she does.
