About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Verena is a highly experienced yoga teacher with more than two decades of dedicated practice and study and more than a decade of teaching.
Trained at the Portuguese Yoga Center (CPY) and deeply rooted in Hatha Yoga, her journey has expanded into the mastery of Navakaraṇa Vinyāsa, a rare and transformative methodology that unites movement, rhythm, breath, and modern science while remaining anchored in ancient yogic traditions.
With hundreds of hours of training and a lifelong devotion to self-inquiry, Verena guides her students through practices that are both intelligent and creative, weaving precision with artistry. Her classes blend dynamic flow with deep introspection, offering a powerful space for physical strength, emotional release, and spiritual clarity.
Beyond the mat, Verena brings a unique perspective as a long-time practitioner of macrobiotic nutrition and conscious living. She integrates the wisdom of food and lifestyle into her teachings, offering a holistic approach where body, mind, and spirit align. Her background also includes guiding immersive experiences, retreats, and workshops internationally, always with the intention of awakening transformation in each participant.
Known for her authenticity, passion, and inspiring presence, Verena creates a safe yet challenging space for students to expand their practice and discover new layers of themselves. Her work is guided by a simple but profound philosophy: nurturing transformation, one practice at a time.
Through her project The Experience Yoga, Verena creates immersive retreats and exclusive yoga journeys in inspiring destinations around the world — from cultural gems to natural sanctuaries. Each retreat is designed to go far beyond the mat, weaving yoga, conscious living, and transformative practices into one unique experience.
In 2025, she is opening the first Navakaraṇa Vinyāsa Yoga center in Valencia, a pioneering space dedicated to this dynamic and artistic method of practice.
