Ann Richardson & Erica Owens

Ann and Erica are the owners of Studio Bamboo Yoga in Virginia Beach, Virginia.  For over five years they have been leading retreats abroad for their students to be inspired and expand their practice. Their retreats are grounded in learning, adventure, and connection. It’s never about the destination, it’s always about the journey and what we learn along the way.

Ann, who will be your yoga guide for the week, teaches a variety of classes emphasizing technique and alignment, intensives, and teacher training at the 200-hour and 300-hour levels as well as continued education for yoga therapists and yoga teachers. She is a Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT) and a 1000-hour yoga teacher by Beryl Bender Birch and The Hard & The Soft Yoga Institute. Ann also holds Levels I, II, advanced training, and PTSD certificates from Matthew Sanford and Mindbody Solutions. Ann was honored to be on the Board of Directors for the Give Back Yoga Foundation for 10 years and is now on the Advisory Board still serving the organization.

Ann began yoga in the late ‘90s and quickly realized there was something more to it than just movement. She was
hooked and her fascination with the healing aspects of the practice soon followed.  Ann’s teaching style is fun, energetic, and challenging, yet grounding, safe, and supportive.

Two documentaries, “Standing Still/Still Standing”, by Walton Films and “Yoga as Medicine”, by Green Island Films features Ann and two of her adaptive students.

Ann truly believes yoga is for Every Body, as Desikachar says, “If you can breathe, you can do yoga.”

Travel Insurance

We cannot emphasize more the importance of travel insurance. As we all know, especially as travelers, “life happens.” Whether it’s family, work, mother nature, or a change of heart, it is important to be prepared in case you need to unexpectedly change your travel plans. Often for less than $150, you can purchase a travel insurance policy and be protected in the event that you need to make a change or need to be covered financially prior to or during your trip. 

Read more about our insurance partners and their policies here. We encourage you to research the insurance company and policy that best meets your needs.
