Our story

The founding

We started Ankaa because what we were looking for didn't exist. Stress shows up in the body and mind simultaneously, yet most of what's on offer works on one or the other – and much of it is costly, or asks for hours you don't have. So we built Ankaa in London in 2025 to work on the physical and the emotional in equal measure, in a few minutes, with your own hands.

The name

In the southern sky there is a constellation called the Phoenix, and its brightest star is Ankaa. We chose the name for the bird it belongs to – the one that carries what it has been through into the fire, lets it burn away, and rises lighter. Rebirth and transformation, held in a single point of light.

The mark

Our mark is a hand cradling an orb of light, and it holds the belief behind everything we make: the power to heal is already ours. Every session ends inside it – the warmth of the practice gathering back into the light.
