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 a bachelor's and master’s degree 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 yoga sparks in her heart—a clear sense of clarity, connection, and peace. This powerful shift drives her to teach, and she is eager to help others discover their growth through yoga.

Anna is a 200-hour RYT-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 introduced yoga to a diverse range of settings,: supporting trauma survivors, seniors, corporate teams, law enforcement personnel, and fitness communities.

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 both 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.

She is married with a four-year-old daughter, whose early interest in yoga adds a new layer of meaning to Anna’s practice. 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 her life.
