Ann Chihak Poff, CYT 500
I teach Hatha/alignment-based yoga and Restorative yoga.
I teach to those who may be a beginner, recovering from an injury, needing/wanting a slower pace with strong alignment cues and gentle adjustments along with some humor sprinkled in. If that resonates with you then I’m the yoga teacher for you. The classes I teach are Hatha/alignment-based yoga (and sometimes Restorative yoga) and are available to all bodies. Props, variations, adapting shapes and modifications are taught and encouraged.
My goal is for all students to feel:
- Supported and welcome.
- Loved.
- Brave.
- Able to honor and advocate for their bodies, minds, hearts and breath.
I teach two weekly Zoom Yoga classes (at noon on Wednesdays and 5:30 p.m. on Thursdays — times are Pacific). See more information and schedule below.
I also have a YouTube channel with many pre-recorded classes. Read more information below.

I also record these classes. The recorded class(es) are available to anyone who pays for a class or classes. If you miss class, you can take it later. If you made it to class and want to take it again (and again) you can!

YouTube yoga classes with Ann
My YouTube yoga classes will always be free. You have almost 40 classes to pick from. Along with yoga shorts and breath work videos. My videos include Hatha, Gentle, Restorative, Breathing, Chair Yoga, Yoga Nidra and Restorative Yoga. Some of my yoga shorts are of a break down of a particular pose and the many ways the pose can be practiced.
If you have the means and are inclined, you can make a donation to my teaching. I will in turn donate part of the money to a local charity. There are two ways you can donate to me:
You are welcome to donate to me as you wish. Every time the donations reach a balance of $50 I will donate $25 of that to a charity in Tucson, where I live. Of those who donated that $50, your name will be put in a hat and the “winner” gets to pick the charity where the money goes. (Two “winners” have picked Emerge! and Youth On Their Own.) You have 10 charities to choose from:
- Casa Maria Soup Kitchen
- Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona
- Emerge! Center Against Domestic Abuse
- Fuel the Response for Arizona Students
- Mobile Meals of Southern Arizona
- Pima Council On Aging
- Poverello House
