Annemarie Puntschart Lombard

Annemarie start­ed “doing” yoga in the Jiva­muk­ti tra­di­tion back when liv­ing in NYC’s East Vil­lage some 20plus years ago. And start­ed “prac­tic­ing” after a dev­as­tat­ing sky­div­ing acci­dent in 2003 had her expe­ri­ence a bro­ken spine with incom­plete paral­y­sis, seri­ous nerve dam­age to inner organs and exten­sive leg and spinal surgery; which all dra­mat­i­cal­ly but mind­ful­ly turned her con­nec­tion to body, spir­it and com­mu­ni­ty around. Influ­enced by her own body’s incred­i­ble & ongo­ing jour­ney of self heal­ing through yoga, mind­ful lifestyle choic­es and PRANA & human ENER­GY-work, she aims to bring a unique sense of strength and pres­ence, gen­tle empow­er­ment, play­ful inves­ti­ga­tion of the forces of nature; and prac­tice of build­ing sta­ble foun­da­tions to each of her class­es. 

Through inten­tion, med­i­ta­tion, pranaya­ma and asana her goal is to have her stu­dents leave each class feel­ing con­nect­ed, cen­tered and renewed. She teach­es in a way that pro­vokes self-heal­ing, thought and mean­ing, let­ting the stu­dent expe­ri­ence their bod­ies, their mind, breath and the pow­er of com­mu­ni­ty. Her class­es are in Eng­lish or Ger­man, with San­skrit woven through, they include heal­ing visu­al­iza­tions and are under­lined by care­ful­ly curat­ed wis­doms and some­times by yog­ic & world con­tem­po­rary tunes of VENUS­fre­quen­cy playlists, of her pop­cul­ture and yog­ic lifestyle, online and radio plat­form. www.venusfrequency.com 

Class­es include demon­stra­tions as well as hands on assists. Her aim to live a yog­ic lifestyle and lead her class­es in a way that reflects that choice. 

She is also a Mas­ter Rei­ki & cre­ative EFT prac­ti­tion­er, human Ener­gy work­er and she devel­oped a tech­nique she calls PRANA-Med­i­ta­tion Jour­ney, which includes mind­ful touch in the Rei­ki lin­eage, Mantra & Sound Heal­ing, Visu­al­iza­tion and Pranaya­ma – a deep dive into your ener­getic body and allow­ing you the oppor­tu­ni­ty to dance with your soul.
