About
A teaching practice rooted in SoCal.
Hi, I'm Vanessa.
I'm a Los Angeles–based yoga teacher, sound healing practitioner, and Bellicon-certified rebounding instructor. My work creates approachable, nervous-system-supportive wellness experiences through movement, breath, sound, and deep rest.
My teaching blends mindful yoga, yin and restorative practices, somatic movement, myofascial release, sound healing, and joyful low-impact rebounding. Classes are designed to help you reconnect with your body, release tension, build resilience, and experience movement as something supportive, playful, and deeply restorative.
My work is rooted in the belief that wellness does not have to be intimidating or overly complicated — it can be accessible, embodied, and even joyful.
Through my signature offerings — including yoga, sound baths, corporate wellness sessions, and Joy Bounce experiences — I support individuals and groups in finding more ease, energy, balance, and calm. I've shared sound and movement with corporate teams, private groups, wellness events, and festival communities, including as a sound bath practitioner in the Peace Garden at New Orleans Jazz Fest.
