Anne Duch, RYT 500
Anne Collins Duch, DPT, WCS, E-RYT 500, sees yoga as the ultimate intersection of biological science and inner discovery.
With nearly thirty years as a Doctor of Physical Therapy expert in pelvic health, Anne offers a technical yet heart-centered lens to her practice. She blends anatomical precision with breath-work and nervous system regulation to guide students through classes that are as evidence-based as they are calming.
In her teaching, Anne focuses on intentional movement, functional strength, and building resilience in the nervous system. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned practitioner, her mission is to instill physical confidence and help you inhabit your body more fully.
Founder of Physical Therapy for Women, Anne has supported countless individuals through significant life transitions like pregnancy, menopause, and chronic pain recovery.
She advocates that yoga belongs to every body—not through forced poses, but through tailored practices that respect your unique starting point.
Outside her clinical work, you’ll find Anne hiking the Brandywine trails, relaxing with her family and doodle pups, visiting her college-aged children, or laughing at a concert with her close friends.
Whether you’re walking into The Yoga Lab for the very first time or you’re a long-term practitioner, you will leave her session feeling grounded, empowered, and revitalized.

Christina Cento, RYT 500
200hr RYT and Chair Yoga specialist (trained by the wonderful Laura M.)
My career path reflects a love for communication and art, ranging from theater at Juilliard to Speech Pathology. Now, I bring that diverse experience to my Vinyasa instruction.
I am a proud mother of two, a wife, and a caretaker for two high-energy rescue dogs. I'm also a dedicated Phillies enthusiast and a Crossword puzzle expert with a long-standing solve streak.
'I now lead myself to the present, where mental noise fades and my true essence finds peace.'
I initially sought yoga to find a safer way to move and quiet my 'Monkey Coachella' mind. What I found at The Yoga Lab was a path to wholeness. The practice reminds me that we don't 'find' ourselves; we simply shed what isn't us to reveal the completeness that already resides within.
