Anica DeHart

Anica started her yoga journey 10 years ago after the birth of her second child. As a runner, she found

that adding yoga and weight training brought balance to her routine. She gravitated towards yoga especially because she found that practicing it gave her an opportunity to focus on mental as well as

physical health. After practicing for many years, Anica desired to learn more and share her practice by

becoming a teacher. While stationed overseas, Anica had the opportunity to complete her 200 HR CYT

 by attending trainings in Italy and Germany. She had the opportunity to bring Yoga to a military community in Germany where it was previously unavailable. Anica is excited to become a part of the Concrete Yoga community and looks forward to learning and growing as a teacher here!
