Anya Montgomery Wellness Coach

Life has gone into overdrive lately, and sometimes it feels hard to keep your head above water. Pressure from all angles, intense expectations and the finial push to the end of the year are a Recipe for exhaustion and overwhelm.
I really crave a slower pace of life, but unfortunately that’s not the chapter I’m up to yet.
So I’ve been endeavouring to take back some time for me. Sometimes it’s 5 minutes to breath, sometimes it 30 minutes for a walk, but when your days are as busy as mine, that can make the world of difference.
I hope this can promote you to also slow down when you need it and when you’re able.

My yoga journey spans 10 years as a student, over 6 years as a teacher of Yoga and 3 years as a Pilates teacher, with a lot of highs a lows along the way.
I’ve experienced self doubt and imposter syndrome. Took things way too personally and just got in my own way a lot. But I came to realise that the people that love your classes will come back time and time again and the ones who don’t, won’t. And that’s ok, in fact it’s perfect.
If you’re looking for some support on your teaching journey, I’m always up for a chat. Send me a DM and we can see if we gel.

Hiii 👋🏻
If you’ve not met before, I’m Anya, a Melbourne based studio owner and Yoga & Pilates teacher.

Teaching has been my life for over 6 years now and it’s been an incredibly beautiful, growth filled journey along the way. Not without its challenges and many ups and downs.

I deeply care about the people that step onto their mat and join my classes every week. It’s a beautiful thing when someone trusts you to guide them.

I’m always down for a Matcha catch up, love spending time with my loved ones, both the two and four legged kind, and try my best to spend my time looking after my health and nervous system. It’s been a journey to get to where I am, but I know younger me would be so proud!
Come along for the journey as I start to share more about my experiences, what I do and how I’ve got here.

Life has been a crazy ride lately, I poured my soul into opening a Yoga and Pilates studio, said goodbye to some things that no longer fit and took a terrifying step into the unknown. My nervous system is reeling, I’m trying to keep my head above water, I’m exhausted. But this is such an exciting chapter, I wouldn’t swap it for the world.
