Yoga Teacher, Mindfulness Practitioner & Educator

Vee is a yoga instructor and mindfulness practitioner with a passion for guiding others on their journey toward holistic well-being. With a foundation in Hatha & Power Vinyasa, Vee's teaching is rooted in creating inclusive, trauma-responsive spaces where students feel empowered to explore their practice both on and off the mat. This year, Vee will join the YTT lead team, bringing a focus on yogic philosophy, subtle body systems & pranayama. Beyond the studio, Vee is committed to the intersection of wellness and justice, working to cultivate spaces that foster both individual healing and collective liberation. Here favorite colors are pink & purple. She loves the beach, socks, body butter, reading and laughing. Her pet peeve is getting caught in a summer rain wearing flip flops but nothing chocolate can’t fix. Vee lives with her 17 year old daughter and husband in South Richmond.
