About Annie Hoffman

Annie Hoffman originally invited the Boston group to meet at her own Art & Soul (Now Pause) yoga studio, located in Inman Square, and the group met there for many years. Covid came, and now we meet on line with some in person meetings - check the schedule on this website. Annie continues to co-facilitate the group in mindful movement. Full bio.

Beginnings

In 2008, a student of Gregory Kramer, Janet Surrey, began offering Insight Dialogue practice in Cambridge, Mass.
Annie Hoffman invited the group to meet at her Art & Soul Yoga studio, located at 91 Hampshire Street, just outside Inman Square. The group has been gathering there … until we elected to temporarily gather virtually, using Zoom, during the pandemic.
