She first discovered yoga in 2008, at The Yoga Room, at a time when she was experiencing stress which was adversely impacting her health. The moment she stepped onto the mat it was love at first sight; the rest is history. Verónica is committed to creating classes which promotes a sense of belonging and positive self worth. Her background as an educator enables her to create sequences which are designed to be challenging yet accessible for all. She routinely incorporates the use of props to allow for a practice that is simultaneously fluid and aligned. Verónica draws upon her experience as practitioner and an educator to create a space that is safe, inclusive, and welcoming to each and every body.
