Working internationally both as a professional dancer (MA Dance Performance, Trinity Laban Conservatoire) and researcher (PhD Cultural Heritage, Polytechnic of Turin), Vanessa has been teaching movement-based practices since 2007, from Contemporary Dance to Barre, finally becoming totally hooked on Yoga and qualifying as a Vinyasa and Hatha teacher through Hari-Om School. Her classes are conceived as an uninterrupted flow of breath and draw extensively on Somatics, with both attention to safe alignment and free space for playful and creative exploration. She likes encouraging people to become more self-aware and to take informed decisions regarding their own practice, experimenting both with control and surrender, and hopefully bringing these possibilities to their daily life.
