Real-world experience spanning over two decades gives every technique and cue a foundation that no certification alone can provide.
Yoga, aerial arts, breathwork, and herbalism are woven together intentionally — so your wellness is addressed as a whole, not in isolated parts. This is not a gym. This is a complete nature-inspired wellness ecosystem built around your unique journey.

From grounding yoga and breathwork to aerial arts and herbalism, explore the modalities that excite and serve you most.
With certified, personalized instruction, you develop skills progressively — safely expanding your strength, flexibility, and confidence over time.
Integrate breathwork, plant wisdom, and aerial challenge to create a wellness life that is rich, sustainable, and joyful.
Yoga Trapeze® is a specialized aerial practice using a suspended hammock to support inversions, spinal decompression, and deep hip opening. No prior aerial or yoga experience is required — Anastasia is certified to guide all levels safely from the ground up.
Yes. Aerial yoga uses a soft silk hammock for a flow-based practice that blends traditional yoga with aerial movement. Yoga Trapeze® is a more structured discipline focused on specific therapeutic and strength-building outcomes. Both are offered at the studio.
Absolutely. Flexibility is a result of practice, not a prerequisite for it. The Science of Stretching® methodology used in our mobility training is designed specifically to meet you where you are and progress safely from there.
Breathwork coaching is dedicated, focused training in how to use your breath as a tool — for stress regulation, energy, focus, or recovery. It goes much deeper than the breathing guidance offered within a yoga class.
Anastasia's herbalism practice integrates plant-based knowledge into your wellness approach — this may include guidance on supportive herbs for recovery, vitality, and stress. It complements rather than replaces any medical care.
Mud Roots and Moonlight is located at 48 Union Street, Stamford, CT 06906.
