ILLUMINATE YOUR HEART YOGA 

“The combination of yoga poses and the breath illuminates the heart and creates a path to health and inner peace.”

Anna Lucatorto holds both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Health Administration. While pursuing her graduate studies, she discovered yoga and quickly recognized its powerful impact on her well-being. Through regular practice, Anna found a way to support her body, calm her mind, and uplift her spirit.

What continues to move her most is the feeling in her heart after practicing yoga—a sense of clarity, connection, and peace. This deeply personal transformation inspired her to become a yoga instructor, and she desires to share these benefits with others.

Anna is an RYT-200 certified Yoga Instructor through Yoga Alliance. She completed her training in Ashtanga yoga at the Little Yoga House in Wantagh, New York. Since earning her certification in January 2013, she has brought yoga into diverse spaces, teaching trauma survivors, senior citizens, corporate professionals, and fitness enthusiasts alike.

Her teaching style reflects her compassion, creativity, and genuine care for each student. These qualities shine through in her class energy, thoughtful sequencing, and strong sense of connection.

Anna’s experiences—on and off the mat—led her to develop and trademark Illuminate Your Heart Yoga™ (IYH). IYH's mission is to inspire others by helping them connect more deeply to their inner selves and fulfill the intentions of their spirit through yoga.

One of Anna’s guiding inspirations is Sri K. Pattabhi Jois's quote, “Practice, and all is coming.” She lives by this philosophy in her teaching and in her life.
