She founded her own school in Mexico and continued to teach and share her passion for arts. She gave the poorest access to the performing Arts through creative- programs and scholarships. Annette got her yoga certification in the United States of America.
“As a professional dancer I’ve been applying most of the yoga principles for twenty five years. If you want to survive and last in the competitive world of dancing, the absolute awareness of your body is crucial. But I also realize I was missing the essence of yoga, the spiritual practice. I got to the point that I was suffering by being competitive with the others and myself for so many years and was looking for a new alternative. I fell in love with yoga since the first class. Acceptance as part of the philosophy of yoga makes me feel so relief and excited about starting a journey toward feeling good. Acceptance is not about resignation; it’s a willingness to let go. It breathes inner power and it’s greater than force”.
