Vanessa has been teaching yoga and meditation for over 11 years, she owns Yoganess, a yoga studio in Palmerston North. Vanessa believes that both yoga and meditation is key to a healthy lifestyle as it gives us the opportunity to step away from the demands, stresses and busyness of life and to look after ourselves in a holistic way. “I believe in the magic of yoga, the science of yoga and how we can help and heal ourselves in many different ways by being more in-tune to our body, heart, mind, soul and energetic needs, through yoga. This is why I teach yoga.”
