Anna Holmes

A lifelong performer with a BFA in Performance Theater from Hofstra University, Anna’s movement practice began with theater and dance before expanding into martial arts and fitness. They have trained in Shaolin Kung Fu in China, Muay Thai in Thailand, and dance at Broadway Dance Center in NYC, and have spent years teaching kickboxing and movement-based fitness throughout New York and Maryland. They teach a reoccuring kickboxing class at Merritt Clubs Downtown on Monday nights. They also currently manage Archer Hawkins Gallery, a new art space in Baltimore, Maryland.

As a certified BodyART® instructor, Anna approaches fitness through mindful, intentional movement. Their classes draw on biomechanics, breath, strength, balance, mobility, and controlled intensity to create a low-impact practice that challenges the body while cultivating a deeper mind-body connection.
