Ann Fitzpatrick

Owner

Hi! I’m Ann Fitzpatrick, the founder of Serenity Yoga. I am a mom, a yoga teacher, and someone who loves nature. My journey has been about continuous learning and healing on all levels of my being. I have a long way to go still, however, I have come so far. I know there is still so much more to explore and grow. My passion lies in personal growth and supporting others along their unique journey.

My Story

Hi, I’m Ann Fitzpatrick.

 

Life has a way of testing us all, and I’m no stranger to its challenges. My own journey has taken me through many ups and downs—experiences that have humbled me, opened my heart, and deepened my empathy for others. These lived moments of struggle and growth have taught me that resilience isn’t just about surviving, but about learning to thrive with compassion and love for ourselves and those around us.


Yoga found me during a time when I needed healing the most. What began as a simple practice soon became a lifeline—a way to reconnect with my body, calm my mind, and nurture my spirit. Over the years, yoga has transformed into a guiding force in my life, inspiring me to support others as they navigate their own unique paths.


My approach weaves together ancient wisdom and modern therapeutic techniques, always with a trauma-informed lens. I strive to create spaces that feel safe, welcoming, and inclusive—where you can show up exactly as you are, and explore healing at your own pace. Whether you’re seeking relief from physical pain, support for mental health, or simply a sense of community and balance, I’m here to walk alongside you.


I offer private yoga therapy, group classes, workshops, and wellness education—all rooted in compassion, acceptance, and the belief that everyone deserves access to tools for wellbeing. My hope is that you’ll find not just a teacher, but a partner in your journey toward greater resilience, joy, and self-discovery.
