TEACHER / FOUNDER

Analisia is the founder of Anahata and has spent years creating spaces where people can reconnect with themselves through movement, mindfulness, and community. Her approach to teaching blends intentional movement, sound healing, and restorative practices designed to support both the body and the nervous system.

Through her pop-up yoga events and growing community in the Milwaukee and Lake Country area, Analisia saw firsthand the power of bringing people together through wellness experiences. Anahata was born from that vision — a space rooted in connection, presence, and the belief that wellness should feel supportive, welcoming, and accessible to everyone.

I’m passionate about creating classes that feel equal parts empowering, grounding, and freeing. My teaching is rooted in the belief that movement is space to explore strength, mobility, creativity, and connection without pressure or perfection. Expect creative sequences, intentional flows, upbeat music (very serious about my playlists), and an encouraging environment where you can disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with yourself through movement. I love blending challenge with play, inviting students to explore their edges while staying present in a moving meditation that leaves you feeling strong, energized, and centered. Off the mat, catch me with an iced coffee in hand, traveling with my husband, curled up at home reading with my cat, or dancing the night away at a music festival.

Practicing yoga for over a decade has shown me the power of reconnecting to yourself through breath, movement, compassion, and presence. I love teaching uplifting, heart-centered classes paired with intentional playlists that help you fully sink into the experience. My goal is to create a space where you can soften, reconnect with your inner essence, and nurture the most important relationship you have, the one with yourself. Outside the studio, you can find me reading, dancing, practicing yoga, exploring nature, crafting, and embracing play in everyday life

Abigael is a mat Pilates and yoga instructor that started her teaching career in Los Angeles. While she is a 200-hour certified yoga teacher, her passion for movement shines uniquely within her Pilates instruction. Trained in contemporary mat Pilates, and currently in the midst of intensive classical Pilates training, she prides herself on creating a highly energetic and encouraging environment where the classes are both challenging and attainable for all levels of experience. The Pilates shakes and a sore core are her favorite class results (outside of hearing a few “woo’s!” or sing-along vocals during class).

Outside of teaching you can find her on a long walk with her wiener dog, exploring Milwaukee’s new hot spots, chasing the best matcha around town or hosting any variation of a girl’s night.

Her classes deepen the connection between mind, body, and spirit, with an emphasis on hands on assistance, and accessibility for all body types and abilities. In her free time, she loves dancing, making jewelry, reading in the grass, and traveling. She focuses her energy on staying present in each moment and simply being.

For Emmy, movement is both grounding and creative expression. Drawing from yoga, Pilates, strength training, and holistic wellness practices, she teaches classes that invite students to slow down, tune in, and move with intention. Her world outside the studio is filled with painting, arranging florals, lighting incense, creating inspo boards, writing poetry, enjoying long walks, and discovering secondhand treasures — all of which subtly shape the feeling of her classes. Recently returning from Bali, Emmy brings a fresh, inspired energy into her teaching along with the intuitive nature of a true Pisces.

In my classes, I hope to provide space for yogis to go inwards and connect with themselves, while also feeling liked a valued member of our community. I hope you walk away from my classes with a nugget of wisdom, a sense of serenity, and an appreciation for the time you took to make it to your mat. I can’t wait to see you at the studio!

I am a military brat born in a military hospital on a military base during the summer of love. I have been blessed with moving, living all over the US and Europe before my mother settled in Wisconsin so we could live off land. I attended High School in a small central Wisconsin town and went to UW Madison, where I met my life partner. He did 12 years of active duty in the military where I traveled with him raising our three daughters. We settled in Southwestern Missouri – the Ozarks where I spent my time raising our girls, working as Director of Religious education and volunteering for a local CSA. It was here where I rediscovered my love for yoga. Shortly before my partner left the military, I was diagnosed with cancer. (do not worry, I am now 26 years into remission) This diagnosis made me distrust my body. In the early 2000’s I found a gentle yoga class at our local YMCA. While this was not my first yoga class, my yoga journey started almost 30 years ago when I checked out a video on stretching while pregnant with my third pregnancy, this was the class that helped me find comfort in my own body once again. In 2010 this same teacher, my first guru, told me I needed to become a yoga teacher. With some not so gentle pushing from her I finished my 200-hour Hatha Yoga training in July of 2011 and started my yoga teaching career. From 2011 I have taught in studios in Little Rock Arkansas, Yuma Arizona & Atlanta Georgia. Meeting teachers and students from all over the world. I have found amazing advances in different cities and studios training, deepened my understanding of human anatomy & physiology, how to make yoga accessible to all people, meditation and pranayama, sound bath classes and so much more. I have been blessed to be an assistant trainer in two different yoga teacher training programs. Moving back to Wisconsin right at the start of the pandemic let me take a break from in-person classes to focus both on a deeper personal practice as well as online teaching. I am looking forward to being a part of the Anahata Yoga Studio and its family.

Hello! I’m Kylee, I have been a yoga instructor for a little over a year with an emphasis on power flows. I received my 200 hour YTT through YogaSix.

I love the duality of the body & mind, weaving them together throughout class. I enjoy creating a bridge between symbolism of yoga philosophy into movement. Building strength that eases us into softness.

I often find myself wandering into unfamiliar places, training for competitions such as hyrox and triathlons, and I love to paint and listen to philosophy. This is all fueled by my love for espresso or matcha :)

I am so excited to welcome you all into the space as a community, can’t wait to meet you!

My journey began in 2008 — a curiosity that led me onto the mat and quietly guided me toward a more mindful way of living. In those formative years, yoga became a sanctuary from the demands of daily life: a space to reconnect with body and breath, and to discover the subtle power of movement and stillness intertwined. In 2015, my relationship with yoga deepened as I found myself drawn to the dynamic flow of power vinyasa. This practice became the heart of my discipline — a daily ritual that challenged my limits, cultivated resilience, and inspired personal growth. Power vinyasa offered not only physical transformation, but also a sense of empowerment, weaving together strength and grace, intensity and release, breath and intention.

In December 2024, I graduated from yoga teacher training — a milestone that marked both a culmination and a new beginning. The experience deepened my understanding of yoga’s rich philosophy, refined my awareness of alignment, and awakened a desire to share this transformative practice with others. I stepped into the role of teacher in January 2025. Each class, each sequence is an opportunity to create a space of acceptance, exploration, and connection — empowering students to discover their own strength, balance, and inner peace. It is an invitation to be present, to move with purpose, and to honor the ever-changing nature of body and mind. I remain inspired to keep learning, growing, and sharing the transformative power of yoga with all who join me on this journey.

Off my mat, you can find me spending time outdoors, traveling, eating my way through whatever city I am in, and spending time with my loved ones.

I hope to see you on your mat soon. Namaste.

I have a naturally busy mind, and I used to have a hard time finding silence within myself. In 2018 I started attending yoga classes in Milwaukee while finishing college and I was immediately hooked. My yoga practice became one of the only times in my day that I could get all my energy out and come back to myself. Through asanas, pranayama and mindfulness I have learned how to be more grounded, confident and at peace with life in all its beauty and challenges. In 2026, I received my Yoga Teacher Certification through Tribal Yoga School so that I could share the joy, peace and community that I have found through yoga with all of you. I can’t wait to be a part of your yoga journey. Let's get it flowin'!

Hi, I’m Shannon! I’ve been teaching group fitness since 2017, and nothing brings me more joy than creating a space where people feel strong, supported, and genuinely excited to move. My classes are high-energy, fun, and approachable, with a focus on making Pilates accessible to every body—whether it’s your very first class or your hundredth. You’ll find challenging, intentional movement balanced with encouragement, good music, and plenty of reminders that progress looks different for everyone. My goal is for you to leave class feeling stronger, more confident, and proud of what your body can do. When I’m not teaching, I’m a wife, mom of two, and a firm believer that movement should add joy to your life—not pressure. I can’t wait to move with you!

SUBSITUTE TEACHER

Amanda believes yoga can cultivate freedom in both body and mind by helping us release limiting beliefs, reconnect with our authentic selves, and build trust in what we are capable of. She discovered yoga and meditation during a trying and transformative period of chronic pain and burnout, where slowing down taught her to shift her perspective and seek movement that supports the body rather than demands more from it. After five years as an engineering officer aboard military cargo vessels, Amanda understands the physical and mental toll of demanding careers and the constant pressure to perform. She is passionate about creating restorative spaces for service members, first responders, and blue-collar workers to slow down, reconnect, and find balance. Her teaching centers around yin and slow flow, rooted in authenticity, acceptance, and healing. Outside the studio, Amanda is happiest outdoors, hiking and camping in the summer and chasing snow all winter.
