Me and my wife were actively part of this extraordinary rejuvenating yoga session and one of the best experiences we ever had. Connecting mind, body and soul.

I've been practicing with Vanessa for over a year now and have never looked back. She is incredibly friendly, easy to approach, and exceptionally patient. Her guidance and support have greatly enhanced my yoga journey. I would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful yoga instructor.

~Betty

I’ve been doing 1:1 yoga sessions with Vanessa, and it’s been an incredible experience. She’s attentive, knowledgeable, and creates a welcoming and supportive environment. Vanessa has a very calm and supportive energy, and her approach is thoughtful and well-paced. She tailors each session based on individual needs. I’m so grateful to have found such a skilled and caring instructor. Highly recommend Vanessa for anyone, especially beginners!

~Navreen

Highly recommend! I started classes with Vanessa last year in Seven Hills (first time yoga! Ever!) - then followed her to her private classes and workshops around Sydney (I got hooked!) Vanessa is very patient, informative and has an amazing Energy and presence that just adds to the Yoga experience! Truly inspirational

~Cini

Classes with Vanessa are just such a pleasure to attend. She's kind, knowledgeable, patient and fun to practice with. She meets you wherever you are with your skills and adjusts the class to whatever your current needs may be. Definitely recommend!
