About The Yoga Shop LivFreeâ„¢ Power Yoga is the style of yoga that has become the foundation of The Yoga Shop brand. Over time Annie Q. took from her background in personal training and martial arts to create a style that is as creative and fun as it is challenging and transformational. After some prodding from her best friend and business partner Kim Charbonneau, she decided to brand the style she and others had been teaching for years. The name LivFreeâ„¢ Power yoga is a combination of Annie’s 2 daughters, Livia and Freesia. What makes it so perfect is that the name really speaks to the energy behind the yoga. LivFreeâ„¢ is just that, a physical expression of Living Free, with passion, joy, depth and purpose. It is this LIVING FREE, that the staff and community at The Shop practice every day, both on and off their mat.We are a community of teachers and students that support one another through the transformational journey of yoga. We are passionately committed to personal growth through courage and love. Come to be challenged, to be empowered, to explore and discover! I believe in Yoga. I honestly feel that everyone can benefit from it. There is this moment in every class where you see a “newbie†on their mat, in the thick of it all, power, sweat, fear, and exhilaration. I love the moment when yoga makes its way into their body and you can see it, you can see the light come out of them. You see their amazement, you feel their excitement, you know that they “get itâ€. Man, what a gift. I have found my purpose in life, I am a teacher. Annie is Co-Director of The Shop. Her teachers include Baron Baptiste, Philip Urso, Debbie Williamson, Marcia Vallier, Anne Surber, Douglas P. Quagliaroli, Lance Clayton and Jan Iyengar. Annie is Yoga Alliance ERYT 500-hour Certified.
