The Art Of Being Whole
Namaste
I’m glad you’re here.
My name is Anastasia (Ana Prem), and I’m the founder of Soma + Soul.
I began my yoga journey in my twenties, after arriving in India to train with my guruji, Bal Mukund Singh. I stayed close to him and studied for several years, immersing myself in traditional yogic studies at the Morarji Desai Institute of Yoga in Delhi. My education was grounded in the lineage of Dhirendra Brahmachari, a renowned master of classical Hatha Yoga, known for his precise, breath-centered approach rooted in kriya, pranic control, and inner discipline. His system emphasized the subtle mechanisms of the body and mind — a foundation that deeply shaped the way I practice and teach today.
From the very beginning, yoga was never just physical movement for me. It was a discipline, a philosophy, and a way of living with awareness.
Today I am a E-RYT 500 and IAYT certified Yoga Therapist & Meditation Instructor, Universal Healing Tao Instructor, Psychosomatic Practitioner, and Atmahealer.
Over the past 12+ years, I’ve taught yoga, meditation, and somatic practices in a wide range of settings — from clinical recovery centers in California to high-end wellness resorts, yoga studios, teacher trainings, and international retreats across the US, India, Europe, and Southeast Asia.
Today, I live in Bali, where I continue to teach, lead retreats, and support my clients through private mentorship and therapeutic sessions.
I am committed to combining tradition with innovation, discipline with compassion, and structure with intuitive guidance — always meeting people where they are, and helping them move toward where they truly want to be.

I created Soma Soul as a space
that respects ancient lineages while staying rooted in the realities of modern life — a practice that is as much about regulating your nervous system and supporting hormonal balance as it is about awakening self-awareness, spiritual power, and inner clarity.
It was born from my journey as a yoga therapist, spiritual seeker, and teacher working across cultures and healing systems, and from a clear need I saw in my students and clients: a space where the body, mind, and the soul are all addressed as part of one continuous, intelligent system.
This work is for those who are ready to move beyond superficial wellness routines and step into real, embodied transformation. Whether you’re working through chronic tension, emotional exhaustion, disconnection, or simply looking to deepen your spiritual path in a grounded way — Soma Soul is designed for you.
It is not a one-size-fits-all system. It is a responsive, trauma-aware, body-based method of inner work that draws on decades of training and the lived experiences of hundreds of my clients around the world.
What People Are Saying
“Ana is quite simply the best yoga instructor I have had in my 22 years of practicing yoga. I was taking her classes in “Four Seasons,” (Westlake Village). And in the year I have had the honor of being her student, I have become healthier, stronger, and more in tune with spirituality and detachment - that is the essence of yoga.”
— Marilyn Wedge, group class participant
“Ana is very professional, and I loved her deep background in yoga and yogic philosophy from having spent years studying and teaching in India. I came to her with chronic tension, burnout, and a feeling of being disconnected from my body. Now I feel stronger, clearer, and more comfortable in my body than I have in years. ”
— Amit, private client
“Practicing with Ana is unlike anything I’ve experienced before. Whether we were moving through the postures, being in stillness, or practicing breathwork, I felt completely supported and seen. Ana’s ability to weave yoga philosophy, subtle energy work, and therapeutic insight into an accessible class is truly exceptional!”
