Hiya! I'm a 375-hour Jivamukti Certified Teacher, and an apprentice to Rima Rabbath, as well as a Dharma Moon Mindfulness Meditation Certified Teacher, a Reiki Master, and I hold a Certification in Pranayama Level I under the guidance of Eddie Stern and Robert Moses.

Annamaria Pinna is a 375-hour Jivamukti Certified Teacher, Dharma Moon Mindfulness Meditation Certified Teacher, Reiki Master, and holds a Certification in Pranayama Level I under the guidance of Eddie Stern and Robert Moses. Before dedicating her life to yoga, meditation, and the arts, Annamaria worked as a tax attorney in a major New York City law firm, a path she ultimately left behind to follow a calling toward spirituality, creativity, and personal transformation.

A longtime student of Rima and Monica, Annamaria has spent many years studying yoga and mindfulness deeply. She lived in India for several years, immersing herself in the roots of yoga and meditation, performing as an actress in Bollywood, and teaching Bollywood dance. Her artistic training started at age three and includes dance at Alvin Ailey during college, Composition at Juilliard, and extensive study in Classical Hindustani and Western Classical vocal traditions. Today, she also performs as the lead singer of the rock band Vajra.

Annamaria’s teaching integrates yoga, breathwork, mindfulness, energy work, music, and movement into a unique, heart-centered approach that honors both structure and creative exploration. Whether you are new to the practice or seeking to deepen your journey, her classes offer a welcoming space to explore the transformative power of the breath, energy, movement, and inner stillness.
