Guest Teacher

Vero Balderas Iglesias is a certified Vinyasa and Hatha Yoga instructor (RYT-200.) She has also completed training in Restorative Yoga. Vero’s training is aligned with the B.K.S. Iyengar lineage which provides a strong foundation in anatomy, physiology, pranayama, Sanskrit, guided meditation, and safe movement practices. Vero teaches to a “peak pose” sequencing methodology, which gradually prepares students for a challenging posture by breaking it down into accessible physical actions. Classes progress thoughtfully from gentle warm-ups to peak intensity and conclude with restorative stretches that help students safely integrate their practice. This mindful approach allows Vero to effectively support students of varying experience levels, from beginners to more advanced practitioners.

Vero’s own Yoga journey began in the 2000s. She has practiced several styles of Yoga with experienced teachers in the U.S., Mexico, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
