Annika Isterling is a highly successful model, yoga-teacher, book author, retreat leader and magazine contributor whose mission in life is to help people connect to themselves and each other through using the principles of yoga. Upon placing 4th in a national German modelling competition at age 18, Annika's life changed overnight. She was thrust into the spotlight of the international modelling scene and needed to find herself, fast.

That ongoing pursuit lead her into the world of yoga and eventually into herself. It's this message that she's now sharing with the world - how can we connect to our innermost self? And from that space, how can we connect to others?
