Our Story

A hand with tattoos and rings resting on a wooden surface, surrounded by decorative bowls and a singing bowl with a wooden mallet.

Ōma was created with the intention of blending eastern traditions with a modern approach. Our founder & facilitator, Anna, spent years acquiring knowledge and experiences from all over the world. She's learned from a multitude of deeply rooted lineages of teachers and mentors, and aims to share as much of their wisdom as possible.

At the root of it all, Ōma was built on the foundation of practicing love, gratitude, compassion, and acceptance for all beings, including themselves.

Our goal is to always hold a safe and gentle space for you to move through your own experience. Anna's approach intuitively combines all of the deeply rooted ancient Vedic techniques and knowledge she's acquired to cater towards your individual needs – both physically & energetically. Whether in a group class, workshop, or private session, you'll always be embraced exactly where you're at.

APPROACH

A young woman with tattoos relaxing in a striped lounge chair outdoors in a lush, tropical setting.

When she’s not on her mat, you can find her immersed in nature, backpacking through a new country, scuba diving, dancing at music festivals, and creating stick & poke tattoos. She also enjoys road-tripping, camping, surfing, lounging at the beach, paddle-boarding, and chasing sunsets. She loves spending time with her wife and family, or curled up with a good book and chai.
