New Students: Beginner Series starts soon

HOME / About

Hello and welcome! I'm Annie Trotta, the founder and lead teacher at Surya Yoga in Olathe, KS.

My Story

From Gymnastics to Yoga

My love for movement began at a young age as a competitive gymnast. I later transitioned into cheerleading, using my gymnastics skills throughout high school and college. My yoga journey began in college, and it was love at first pose. After having my two beautiful boys in 2009 and 2011, I found yoga to be the perfect way to regain my strength, reduce stress, and find balance in my busy life.

A New Path

In 2013, I took the plunge and completed my first yoga teacher training. Just a year later, I opened Surya Yoga, fulfilling my dream of creating a safe and welcoming space for people to explore the benefits of yoga.

My Approach

The Beginner Series

Understanding the anxiety that many people feel when starting yoga led me to create the Beginner Series. This program is designed to help you overcome the initial hurdles and discover that there is a better, healthier way to live.

Holistic Wellness

Beyond yoga, I'm passionate about teaching anatomy, nutrition, and mindfulness. I believe in a holistic approach to wellness that encompasses not just physical, but also emotional and mental well-being.
