Anna OttolinoAnna Ottolino is a continuous student of yoga and Buddhist teachings, in addition to having studied French language and literature at both the University of Western Ontario and the University of Nice. In 2010 she founded The Yoga Effect in Grayslake,Illinois where she lived for 25 years and raised her family. Anna now splits her time between Boulder Colorado and Grayslake.

A believer in the innate goodness of people, The Feathered Bridge was borne of Anna's desire to share this belief with children, nurturing and encouraging their desire to act in kindness and love toward others-people and animals alike. The story's setting was inspired by the property Anna's in-laws lived on, filled with mulberry trees and wildlife. This story is in honor of her niece and mother-in-law.

Anna exercises her passion to help others connect in love and heal through her writing, teachings, and practices. Her latest venture of hosting Yoga, Hiking, and Meditation Retreats, marries Anna's thirst for adventure with her desire to promote kindness.
