testimonials
Vanessa’s class provided helpful reminders of some of the basics of personal safety in the practice of yoga while providing the space and atmosphere to meditate and release stressors built up in the body. Vanessa’s care and compassion for each of the attendees was evident in her words, her actions and her energy from the time people entered the space to after the class as folks hung around chatting. The class was a great opportunity to take time out of the day and truly focus on yourself while in a community of color. Such a beautiful thing should be experienced by all BIPOC in the Vermont area.” - C.M.
Vanessa’s classes have been transformative to me. I’ve probably been to hundreds of yoga classes, and have never had as good of experience in a yoga class as I have had in her class. I have always struggled to be present in my body, and Vanessa has made classes feel safe and captivating. Vanessa’s voice and body language help me be present in my yoga practice. Her introductions at the beginning of class are meaningful and helpful. I can’t say enough good things about Vanessa and her classes. Take them! - A.S.
My experience during the yoga class with Vanessa was very nurturing. As a person new to yoga, I felt supported and surrounded with care during the class. I could be myself and there was no pressure to perform a specific way. I am looking forward to attending more classes in the future! - J.A.
I am new to yoga but the class I took didn't make me feel like I was. I had a class with Vanessa, in this class I was able to feel comfortable and push myself at the right pace. By the end of the class I felt at peace and more relaxed than I have ever felt. This class was amazing and I will definitely be going back! - V.L.
I took a Restorative Yin class with Vanessa and it was the Perfect end to a stressful day. Her calming voice and the cozy space were like soap for my brain, and I left feeling refreshed and at peace. I cannot recommend her classes enough; I will definitely be back! - R.K.
I’ve so deeply appreciated the 6 week yoga session on Sunday’s with Vanessa. As a WOC I often feel there is not much space to feel and show up as I am. I’m often repressing emotions unconsciously to get by because my surroundings can’t relate to me as a first generation immigrant and the older sister. Vanessa’s class provided me a safe space to feel and show up unapologetically. I’ve cried, laughed, felt and reflected during that 6 week. I showed up with my friend and it has felt truly transformative. I look forward to every Sunday knowing I get to come to class and I know I’ll be okay after a stressful week. Thank you, Vanessa ,for holding space for BIPOC community. I hope you continue with similar programs in the future! - R.S.
Your classes have become a place of refuge, grounding, and rejuvenation for me this past year. Thank you for modeling what embodiment of yoga entails and for sharing such a gift on a weekly basis! - O.S.
