About Anastasia

Anastasia is a retreat host, Yoga teacher, Qi Gong instructor and movement & arts therapy facilitator with degrees in theatre and education.

She has hosted 120+ women’s circles and events and worked at prominent retreat centres such as Eden Health Retreat and the Byron Yoga Centre. She founded Elementa as a way to share her wealth of expertise with more and more women through transformational retreats.

Anastasia's mission is clear: to guide others from burnout and stress to a place of profound connection with their bodies, minds & hearts. In her work she fosters a loving and supportive community where women from all walks of life can thrive.

Rejecting the notion of quick fixes, her programs emphasise the importance of play, art, community, movement, and self-expression. Using her knowledge of Yoga, Qi Gong, meditation, threatre, art and dance, she weaves unforgettable experiences that lead women to feeling much more aligned with their purpose and joy.

Her ultimate joy lies in sharing her knowledge and nurturing communities of healthy women who care for each other, enriching the life of those she touches with wisdom, compassion, humour and authenticity.

I believe….

You don’t need to be ‘spiritual’ or do headstands in your morning routine to be happy

Being joyful and present is your natural state

You are an inherently creative being and can use your creativity as a tool to move through life’s challenges

We need embrace authentic connection with other women by by leaning into real conversation and honesty

Your unique story is your superpower! You are the leading actor and narrator of your life and it is up to you to decide how you want to tell the story.

There are no quick fixes to healing. There is self-discovery, acceptance, and an array of tools to help your body, mind & heart to get to balance. It’s a journey of exploration!

No matter where you come from or what roles you play in your daily life, we are all connected through our human experience and realising that connection is one of the most incredible things you can do
