Vera

Traditional Hatha Yoga

Ashati Healing

Vera is a Traditional Yoga Teacher and Healer who provides a safe and loving space that allows you to be fully in your heart and listen to what it wants to share with you. From a young age she had the feeling that the universe had something else in mind for her and when yoga came on her path, it changed her life and yoga became her daily practice, and way of living. She fell in love with Traditional Hatha Yoga, a practice rooted in the heart and felt the longing to share this with the world because it brought her back to life, and into her heart. Vera loves bringing community together at the Good Vibes Studio in Bermagui where she holds a space for facilitators to offer their gifts and shares her own love for Traditional Hatha Yoga. She also pours her love into organising the Vibration of the Heart Retreats at Tilba, Women's Retreats in Victoria and the Bali Pilgrimage.
