Annette Romano began her yoga practice in 1989, as a theatre and commercial actor in Los Angeles. Baron Baptiste was her first teacher, helping her to recover from being hit by a car in a crosswalk in 1991. Baron nudged her in the direction of teaching, which she decided to pursue, returning to her hometown of Seattle in 1993. Teachers of influence include Bob Smith, Eiric Ovrid, Andrey Lappa through Katerina Wen, Rod Stryker, and Kathleen Hunt at Samadhi Yoga, where Annette taught classes for eight years and mentored in their teacher training program for five. She has worked with a wide variety of students, including some in wheelchairs and incarcerated youth, in athletic clubs and private homes. In her years of teaching, Annette has come to value the ancient philosophy and practice of yoga in all its aspects. Traveling to India in 2007 with Gina Sala deepened her love of mantra. Teaching the credit classes at Seattle Central Community College to students from all over the world has strengthened her belief that yoga is for everyone! People often ask me, ‘what kind of yoga do you teach?’ I answer that my style has become my own, an amalgam of all I have learned up to this point—as every teacher finds their way and offers yoga as they understand and experience it. My way is to teach students to find stillness and KNOW. It is in this moment that we can access our souls, our Truth. From this place of acceptance, we use our tools of focus, movement and breath to cultivate our awareness, increasing our ability to live in our human forms, from moment to moment. In this place of peace we recognize that we are all one.
