About Ananga

I'm Ananga Sivyer and I write Living by Design to help people reduce stress and find their feet so they can take their life to a higher level.

After spending a year writing health features and personal development articles for Lifescape Magazine, I started Living by Design in 2005. Prior to that I spent four years teaching personal development workshops and wrote my first book: The Art & Science of Emotional Freedom.

I'm a vegetarian, meditating, married, mother of one and this blog is where I share what's helped me and hundreds of workshop participants to find a place of inner calm from where they can grow.
