Anne Esgerra

As a first generation Filipino American, TIta, future ancestor, lover of movement, music and dance, siya deeply believes that connection heals at the root level of your soma (body living in its wholeness). She values and respects the wisdom that lives within each being. A lifetime of experience and ancestral wisdom informs the work she offers in yoga, embodied mindfulness and somatic practices. For over 15 years in private practice, she has been working with folks in recovery, folks facing life transitions, those navigating complex trauma & diagnosis, youth and adults who are incarcerated, elders across the world and caregivers holding space for others.

She founded Integrative Life Therapy in 2013 (known first as Horizon Line until 2018). With 1200+ hours of training and mentoring with Phoenix Rising School of Yoga Therapy and 9 years of accreditation with IAYT, she continues to broaden perspective through intersections of learning while offering group training sessions, workshops based in Trauma Informed Care and community connection through cultural competency. As a collaborator and co-founding teacher of Sea Change Yoga, she has contributed to the development, implementation and evaluation of programs, teacher development and is an ongoing teacher of program partnerships.

Movement and music have always been a guide — from early years of lessons from her Nanay & Lolas to performing music, dance and theater to over a decade studying Guinean West African Dance and performing with New Moon Ensemble. Collaborations through the years with Sea Change Yoga, Bill Brown of Prison Yoga Project, Maine Inside Out while in LCYDC, Journey Onederland's Kickback, Jennie Ferrare of Arcana School of Yoga, Liz Kovarsky of Electric Cottage Collective and artemisia shine of Wild Heart Healing Arts continue to remind siya that healing isn’t linear or solitary—it’s collective, embodied, and deeply human.

Outside of the work, she leans into the practice of existing, inhabiting space and remembering she is part of this world. Whether it’s cooking, singing or finding a place to float inside nature, she’s constantly reminded of the sensual sweetness of life that surrounds us all.
