Vanessa found Yoga as an undergraduate student at Lake Erie College in 2012. Like many others, Vanessa began Yoga as a way to get more flexible and relaxed, but very quickly learned Yoga is much more than just a physical practice. Having struggled with a seizure disorder related to vasovagal syncope for much of her younger life, Vanessa found that Yoga helped manage her symptoms, and as a result, has been seizure-free since 2012!

Vanessa completed a 200-hour Hatha Training and 200-hour Vinyasa Training in 2015 and 2016, respectively, from Awaken Yoga in Mentor, OH. As an NCGR-PAA Level I Astrologer, Vanessa draws inspiration from the stars and incorporates the cosmic weather into many of her classes. Vanessa likes to bring intuitive, intentional movement to the mat and encourages everyone to be where they are in their practice!
