Vanessa Heerasing

Hi, I’m Vanessa!
I was immersed in ballet since the age of 2 and have lived and breathed movement since I can remember. I trained at the Royal Ballet School and completed a 3-year Diploma in Dance at Ballet Rambert. I have been classically trained and fortunate to receive a lifetime of training and mentoring with some wonderful teachers. This foundation of 20 years of ballet has provided me with an in-depth insight into how the human body moves and the anatomy of the body.
I completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2014 and have been teaching open and private classes as well as in the corporate sector for the last 6 years. My learning journey continued and in 2015 and I qualified as a Pre- and Post Natal Yoga Teacher. I am a registered 200-hour yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance Professionals.
The approach to my teaching is to help you deepen your practice with lightness and grace. Focusing on correct alignment and movement within the body so that freedom can be found with a greater awareness of your own body. I teach authentically, in a style that is non-judgmental and full of compassion. I enjoy weaving thought provoking, creative sequences that are with great intentions so that transformations can take place on the mat. Encouraging not only the physical element to the practice but self-enquiry.
