Join local yoga instructor Vanessa for a FREE yoga class held in the South Burlington Senior Center on Tuesday, February 10th from 6 to 7pm. Bring your own mat and blocks if you are able, and we'll have extras available for the class.Vanessa (she/her/hers) began her journey practicing yoga in the early 2000’s through meditation in high school after the opportunity to go to the Karmê Chöling Meditation Center in a World Religions course.
In 2004 she attended her first formal Hatha yoga class in her first year of her undergraduate studies and has been drawn to embodied healing practices ever since.
Vanessa is a trauma informed instructor, committed to support participants in finding healing through yoga practice on the path to liberation, inner strength and empowerment. She has a personal vested interest in social justice, inclusion and is dedicated to making yoga accessible to all people. She believes that mindfulness is not only a path for personal peace and well-being but ultimately for the peace and well-being of all. A central focus of her yoga practice is to actively investigate and address injustice and intersecting forms of oppression.
Vanessa holds an Interdisciplinary M.Ed. focused in Education and Counseling from the University of Vermont. As a long-time educator and facilitator, her classes are thoughtfully and intuitively crafted to create a simple rhythm for participants to enter a flow state. Participants can expect yoga and meditation classes that are inclusive, welcoming and facilitated with warmth and care. Each of her classes include thoughtful yogic insights and poetry in addition to meditation and asana. Her hope is that her students take their experience on the mat into their daily lives.
Vanessa currently serves on the Burlington Yoga Equity Project teaching faculty and Leadership Team and teaches at Laughing River Yoga, Sangha Studios (Burlington & Williston) and KULA Yoga, Fitness & Social Lounge.
Open to South Burlington and surrounding community residents. No registration is required.
