Anita Perryman

Anita Perryman grew up in Northern Beaches, Sydney where she graduated prematurely from highschool (due to lack of interest!)

She stumbled her way (precariously) into a typesetting career that would unexpectedly provide longevity, stability and many opportunities to move around and grow her skills in the world of early advertising, marketing and technology (learning became interesting!)

After seven years in the industry, she took an indefinite hiatus from the field (forced by company closure), set off to travel (with no plans) and landed in Hong Kong. She lived here for three months between friend’s generosity, hostels and casual English teaching  to help support further travel and roaming through Scotland and various other destinations.

Eighteen months later the urge to return to Australia was shouting out and Anita set off for home continuing  to drift and find where it was she fit exactly (square peg in a round hole).

From artist’s assistant, to budding yogi (and wanna be teacher), to aircraft operations, back to study as a copyeditor / proofreader; whilst also studying to become a teacher’s aide, guided by a desire to work with children, which felt an incredibly natural transition (having never worked with children before).

Discovering that teaching came quite naturally and it felt like she was always meant to be here the next journey was a given…

In 2016, Anita travelled to Bali to complete her yoga teacher training and was now consumed by the idea of sharing her own deep Yoga Love Affair with others (particularly children). 

Home in the Whitsundays, Anita continued her student/teacher transition with the mentor, friend and her own teacher of many years, to become one of her teachers. Working in the same studio that she had become very familiar with was oddly terrifying; yet comparatively exhilarating and a testament to overcoming some of her own social foibles.

Finally, Anita had arrived at a destination that the journey had supported all along and everything up to this point seemed to connect the dots.
