About

Hello and welcome home ♥️

The Swan Effect was created to provide a place to feel held, energised on the dreary days and calm amongst the busyness of life.

It’s the toolbox to help us find more joy and presence in our every day life and I’m so grateful that you’re here!

Hi! I’m Anna, the founder of TSE.

There is nothing I love more than sharing a yoga practice with you to help breathe, relax your shoulders and unclench your jaw.

You know that incredible feeling when you finish a yoga class and you feel comfortable in your own skin, present in the moment and energised for your day ahead?! This is what we live for! This is why we keep rolling out our yoga mats and this is why TSE was created!

It's cliche, but oh so very true...

Isn’t it crazy that all you need is your bedroom floor, a rolled out yoga mat and a few minutes to achieve this?! The thing is, you already have everything you need within you to feel radiant, energised and excited for life. What’s often blocking us is comparison, a dysregulated nervous system and a stressed out mind.

Enter: mindful movement, breathwork and meditation.

Plus gratitude and observing our thoughts allll interwoven into carefully curated practices. I am so passionate about this platform and the practices because they work! We’ve just got to commit to ourselves for a few minutes each day and slowly we alter our energy, regulate our nervous system and feel grounded, present and open to the opportunities around us!

I have lived in the wellness world for 10 years now!

I have trained, taught, practiced and impacted thousands of students. I have been an elite athlete and won national championships in horse riding and represented the state in cross country running. I was the cross country captain and no stranger to hard work and consistency producing results. I’ve studied my bachelor of science (exercise, sport and rehabilitation) and graduated with the biomechanics award, completed my Diploma of Education and taught Secondary Health and Phys Ed, been a cross country coach and sports trainer at a semi professional level.

The Swan Effect was born as my side hustle...

I became a coach and course coordinator at the Australian Institute of Fitness. This is where The Swan Effect was born as my side hustle, as a Personal Training biz. I started practicing yoga more regularly and felt like I had found the missing piece to the fitness puzzle. Until then I felt like I was doing all the right sets, reps, green smoothies and health things but I never felt fully energised and radiant.

Each time I stepped off the yoga mat I felt more grounded, happier, energised and comfortable in my own skin. My hormones starting feeling more balanced. My self talk became more positive. My eating and workout schedule became less rigid, yet I felt the healthiest I had ever felt. I gained confidence in myself, could listen to my intuition and felt empowered to keep creating classes, launching events and eventually open my own yoga studio.

TSE continues to evolve...

I've had numerous collaborations with businesses like Lululemon and the Açai Brothers. I've ran mentoring programs for young girls and teenagers to help them cultivate self love, increase self esteem, create a positive relationship with movement and talk about all the important life topics that I wish I was taught at that age.

The Swan Effect yoga studio was opened in Esperance where I had a team of incredible teachers and ran sold out events, retreats and regular classes. The best thing about the studio was our community. It became a place for us to gather, laugh, cry and drink endless cups of tea. During Covid TSE Online was born and little did I know it was going to grow to this.

Where we are right now...

The Swan Effect is now an online yoga and meditation studio with over 100 classes available to you anywhere and at anytime. It makes my heart so happy to share these practices with you and hear things like “I notice a lot lately how I feel more comfortable in my skin and my environment.”

Amongst a yoga teacher I am many other things! I am a mother, a lover of yummy food enjoyed with great company and decaf oat cappuccinos (yes I have that annoying coffee order). My ideal weekend is filled with morning walks, coffee, yoga, ocean swims, yummy food, farmers markets, fam and friend catch-ups and a trashy rom com with a tub of ice cream… dream!

"I have not revealed my body in a bikini in at least 20 years. I am putting this confidence down to your meditation. It felt incredibly liberating and freeing. "

Are you coming with us?

This is just the beginning of TSE! I am excited to continue filming classes, for pop up classes, future collaborations, retreats and events. This space is to support and inspire you! I’m excited to also share practices from some of my favourite teachers!

But more importantly I am so grateful for our community! It is so special that we can roll out our mat and practice together from all around the world.

Thank you for sharing these practices with us!

Sending all my love to you,
