Life, Values & Legacy: Our Chat with Anahaa

We recently had the chance to connect with Anahaa and have shared our conversation below.

Anahaa, it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: What are you most proud of building — that nobody sees?
I think what I’m most proud of… is building ElevatewithAna. It started in all those quiet, hard moments when I didn’t know if I’d make it when all I had was myself, my practice, and this stubborn refusal to give up. Slowly, piece by piece, it became a space where people can step into themselves, reclaim their power, and really feel… alive. That growth, from nothing to something that actually changes lives… that’s what I’m proud of

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Anahaa, and I created Elevate with Ana a space born from the moments I thought I wouldn’t make it. From trauma, uncertainty, and nights that felt endless, I learned that the most powerful growth comes from the cracks, the shadows, the parts of ourselves we try to hide. ElevatewithAna isn’t just a brand or a set of programs, it’s a living space where people come to reconnect with themselves, reclaim their energy, and step into a life that feels fully theirs.

What makes it unique is the depth of transformation it offers. It’s not about quick fixes, trendy hacks, or surface-level inspiration. It’s about guiding people to feel alive in their own skin, to awaken to what’s possible when they release what no longer serves them, and to embody a confidence and freedom they didn’t know they could hold. Every meditation, every kriya, every experience I create is designed to help someone move quietly yet powerfully toward a version of themselves that commands life on their terms.

Right now, I’m building more than courses I’m building a space where people can heal, grow, and transform in ways that echo through every part of their lives and the part I’m most proud of? Seeing someone step out of a session with a spark in their eyes, feeling a sense of possibility they hadn’t felt before. That spark, that shift is exactly why I built this, and why I keep building it every single day

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
Bonds between people often break not from a single dramatic moment, but from the quiet, persistent ways our bodies and minds go out of sync. When our nervous system is dysregulated stressed, anxious, shut down, or flooded small misunderstandings feel magnified. Words sting more than they should, silences feel like rejection, and even those we love most can seem distant or unreachable. Trauma, fear, and accumulated tension create invisible walls that make authentic connection nearly impossible.

Restoring bonds begins with the body. When we learn to regulate our nervous system, we create space to show up fully, without reactivity or fear. Breath, movement, and intentional practices help us release what holds us back, so we can respond from presence rather than impulse. That’s exactly what I focus on too, teaching people how to align their energy, reclaim their power, and step into a state of calm, clarity, and openness.

When your nervous system is balanced, your relationships transform, you begin to see others clearly, listen deeply, and meet them with empathy and understanding. Conflicts soften, walls dissolve, and connections deepen not because people have changed, but because you’ve learned to hold your own energy, stay grounded, and invite others in from a place of safety. True restoration isn’t just emotional it’s physiological. Your body and your energy set the tone for how you love, trust, and connect.

At the core of my work is this principle : you cannot fully restore connection with others until you restore connection with yourself. By guiding people to regulate their nervous system, I help them step into a version of themselves that can both feel deeply and hold space for others, so bonds aren’t just repaired, they are strengthened and made resilient.

What have been the defining wounds of your life—and how have you healed them?
The defining wounds of my life have been rooted in feeling unseen, unheard, and unsafe in the most intimate spaces the kind of moments where trust should feel natural, but instead left me questioning my worth. From family expectations, to betrayal, to trauma I didn’t even have the words for, there were times I felt invisible, powerless, and broken.

Healing hasn’t been about erasing the past it’s been about learning to hold myself through it, to witness my own pain, and to allow myself to be truly seen by others. That meant leaning into vulnerability, showing up even when it scared me, and reclaiming my power piece by piece. Practices like kriya, breathwork, and creating spaces through Elevate with Ana have taught me that being seen is not about perfection or approval it’s about presence, honesty, and alignment with your own truth.

Today, I feel whole not because my past didn’t happen, but because I’ve learned to inhabit my own energy fully, to face my wounds, and to transform them into tools to guide others. Being vulnerable, being visible, being unafraid to feel that’s where the real healing lives, and that’s what I teach every day how to turn your deepest wounds into your most profound power

Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? Is the public version of you the real you?
The public version of me is absolutely me but it’s a version that exists in service of others. I don’t share my personal life to entertain or to seek attention; what I put out into the world is meant to give something to the other person to inspire, guide, or help them shift. It’s still fully me, but curated through the lens of impact. I choose visibility not for myself, but so that people can feel seen, understood, and empowered through what I create. My private life remains mine, but the energy I share publicly is always designed to lift, transform, and serve

Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. Could you give everything your best, even if no one ever praised you for it?
Nikola Tesla inspired me in the way he gave relentlessly, brilliantly, without asking for recognition but I’ve learned to do the same with boundaries. Giving fully doesn’t mean sacrificing yourself; it means contributing your energy, your knowledge, your work in a way that actually serves others, while staying grounded in your own needs. Praise, acknowledgment, and applause are fleeting they come and go, and they should never be the measure of your contribution. The true reward is in the shift you create, the lives you touch, the energy you release into the world. That’s where fulfilment lives in giving deeply, consistently, and intentionally, whether anyone notices or not
