World Peace Yoga 

Teacher of meditation and accessible-oriented asana, including Yoga Basics, Chair Yoga, Yin-Restorative, and Vinyasa for over 20 years. Author of World Peace Yoga: Yoga for People Who Breathe.

Anna Ferguson has been studying and teaching yoga, meditation, and mindfulness practices as a path to liberation for over twenty years. She is the co-creator of World Peace Yoga, a school of yoga that encourages following intuition and acting with compassion to create a more peaceful world.

On her quest to inspire individuals to manifest the most exquisite version of themselves, she wrote, World Peace Yoga: Yoga for People Who Breathe. In her book, readers learn tools for creating inner peace through a variety of self-care practices, including breathing, meditation, and posture techniques, as well as plant-sourced living.

Anna is the director of World Peace Yoga’s Teacher Training and Personal Spiritual Growth programs and works in collaboration with the University of Cincinnati via credit (CECH) and non-credit (UC Skills) courses in yoga, meditation, and mindfulness. She is passionate about building community, practicing a compassionate vegan lifestyle, plant-based cooking, and her wonderful son Noah.
