For An Scharlaken, yoga is more than just a practice – it’s a way of connecting deeply with the body, mind, and the natural world. Certified through the Yogamu Institute in India, An has been exploring the transformative power of yoga for over 20 years. Her passion lies in sharing this gift, particularly with children, guiding them in mindfulness meditation and yoga practices within the Los Altos school community. An believes in nurturing a strong body-mind connection from a young age, fostering inner peace and a lifelong love for movement and nature.
