Steady Bliss in the news
Steady Bliss™ was born one day when Anastasia was reading the ancient sage
Pattanjali's
Yoga Sutras. One of the sutras really spoke to her —
Sthira Sukham Asanam (Connection
to the Earth [or yoga pose] should be steady and joyful). Anastasia decided to commit her life to spreading
steady
bliss.
Since then, Anastasia and
Steady Bliss™ have been featured in
NY Spirit Magazine,
Fit Yoga Magazine,
Women's Health Magazine,
Lucky
Magazine and others.
Anastasia is a Jivamukti-certified yoga teacher, registered with the
Yoga Alliance. She is a member of the
Yoga Therapists Association, a yoga-for-tennis expert and a yoga advisor for the
USTA Tennis League.
Anastasia teaches yoga at various corporations and tennis clubs in New York. She also leads nutrition, holistic health and diet workshops. As a graduate of
The Institute of Integrative Nutrition, Anastasia believes that there is no one diet that works for everyone, so
she employs various Eastern and Western nutrition philosophies and diet while working with her clients. Anastasia successfully works with multiple private clients and teaches them in yoga, meditation, nutrition and overall health.
In January 2004, Anastasia launched , a line of comfortable and stylish yoga clothing. Blissful clothing was featured in an
Urban Yoga video and is being sold in multiple stores and online. Anastasia's non-yogi friends enjoy wearing Blissful clothing to parties
and to the gym, while the yogis love wearing Blissful Wear™ to classes.

love and wisdom.
