About Us

 

Meet Anika

I believe there’s a vast potential within you
waiting to be unleashed.

Your personal rituals and daily practices shape your life. If you want less stress, more energy, better health, stronger relationships, more abundance, etc. you need daily practices to support your goal. The key to creating more of what you want in life lies within you.

I started Transform the Norm because I believe there’s a vast potential within you waiting to be unleashed. Instead of waiting on the world to change and give you what you want, I empower people to create change by using mind-body-energy practices.

 

I understand that deep yearning for something different in your life. I also know how daunting it can feel when you don’t know how to get from where you are to where you want to be. My dedication to teaching mind body practices comes from my own healing journey. I grew up with a mother suffering from schizophrenia. When she was sick it was like being on an emotional rollercoaster. I desperately wanted to save my mother from her illness – which was a lot of to process and carry for a little girl.

I know what it takes to
transform your life

It wasn’t until I started meditating as an adult that I realized that I was lugging around so much emotional baggage from my childhood that it was interfering with my life.  I’d avoided dealing with my stuff by staying busy. Ready for change, I slowed down and committed to meditating and yoga.

Over time, I began to release my ‘stuff’ and heal. I’d love to tell you it happened over night, but that was far from the case. Looking back, I wouldn’t change a thing. Learning how to use mind body energy practices to tap into my inner power to heal myself was empowering. I transformed my life by using mind body practices and you can too!

Teaching Others to Transform the Norm
I am passionate about empowering people to transform their norm and unlock their potential with mind-body practices. I look at mind body practices as an inner tool kit that you can use to develop your inner resources like creativity, insight, focus, joy, and energy. A tool is useless if you do not know how to use it. I teach people the art and science of mind-body-energy practices and how to apply them to improve their everyday life.

After fifteen years of practicing yoga and meditation and ten years of teaching mind body practices, I know how to distill complex concepts into practical terms and exercises for everyday use that are easily incorporated into a daily practice. I teach people how to get into driver seat of their life by tuning in, focusing their mind, building energy and finding their inner guru. Ultimately, I want you to live your unlimited potential.

what people are saying

Anika is phenomenal! Great teacher! She really cares about the full embodiment of yoga - mind, body and spirit. She values form, which I appreciate a lot. Correct form helps to build strength, flexibility and keeps you safe. She also feeds your mind and spirit with her life stories. They bring wisdom and give you peace. Yoga isn't just about poses. It's about fostering a connection between you and the Universe. Anika gets this.

Anika's knowledge of Qi Gong was beyond my expectations. Her ability to take complex concepts and distill them down to practical exercises for daily use allowed me to easily incorporate them into my daily practice. Noticeable shifts in my physical and energetic bodies resulted immediately. Her own committment to daily practice and the tangible results it's conferred to her life was a shining example of what could be accomplished and propelled me to continue my own practices in order to actualize what I wanted for my life.

Anika’s work is bound to make some drastic but subtle changes in your life. The thing I love and appreciated about Anika is her focus and ability to really give you the TOOLS to heal yourself and move yourself. One of the greatest lesson Anika taught me was I really have all the tools to manifest what my heart truly desires. I appreciate Anika’s attention to detail in ensuring that the practices she taught were done with grace and ease. Anika was also very encouraging and supportive. Thank you Anika - working with you has truly been a subtle but great transformation for me.
