Yoga and mindfulness classes in Harrogate and the surrounding areas
Hi, I’m Vanessa the proud Franchisee for Harrogate and the surrounding areas: Knaresborough, Ripon, Wetherby, Pateley Bridge, Poppleton, Otley and Ilkley.
I have been a Drama and English teacher for nearly 30 years, and I thrive on inspiring young people. I am a very creative person, who is passionate about building confidence and communication skills in children.
I have practised and studied yoga for over 20 years in various places in the world and I ran an adult class for my colleagues at work, the benefits it gave them were quite overwhelming, which inspired my dream of becoming a yoga teacher. That dream has finally become a reality in joining the Happy Kids Yoga family. It has also given me the career flexibility I need as I have recently become a carer for my mother.
I am extremely excited about bringing Happy Kids Yoga into the schools, nurseries and community centres in my local area, with the intention of making a difference to children’s happiness, confidence and well-being.
In my spare time, I love to go for walks with my husband and dog, catch up with my daughter, or go away somewhere in our campervan, but you can usually find me by a lake or on a beach practising yoga or swimming!
