Annie Cizek

Yoga (re)found Annie at just the right time.

After practicing in her 20s, Annie took a break to try other types of workouts.  She loved what she found out there, but eventually her body (and spirit) asked for something slower, as her Crohn’s disease began to flare more often than usual.

One day, when driving by Crofton Yoga, something inside her said, “go there” – so she did.  Quickly she remembered how therapeutic yoga is – syncing movement with breath to prepare for the ultimate therapy – silence.

Annie (a teacher at heart) enrolled in the 2023 Pranakriya School of Yoga Healing Arts - Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) program at Crofton Yoga and Wellness with Kim Murphy.  Here, she gained a depth and breadth for the practice - ultimately inspiring her to become a yoga teacher.  She looks forward to helping students find their flow and clear some headspace.

Outside of the studio, Annie is an Associate Professor of English at Prince George’s Community College, and she and her husband are the proud parents of a spunky, little girl.
