For the past 20 years, Anastasia’s Yoga practice has revolutionized her approach to living with Type 1 Diabetes.
She began Yoga in 1992 where it fully resolved her dancer’s knee injury. At 26 years of age, in 1998, Anastasia embarked on two major life journeys. Iyengar Yoga Teacher training and a diabetes diagnosis. Following the medical principles developed by world renown teacher of Yoga, B.K.S Iyengar, Anastasia has maintained HBA1C (averaged blood sugar levels) of normal range (5-6mmol/L).
