About Vera | Mindfulness Coach
& Yoga Teacher
You’re here because you want less stress, more calm, and a stronger connection with yourself. I get it - I’ve been where you are. For years I pushed myself with overwork, numbing habits, and a racing mind that hated slowing down. What I feared most were my own emotions.
When I first bought a one-month yoga pass, I thought I was just adding stretching to my fitness routine. Instead, I discovered something much bigger: yoga for emotional healing, mindfulness for stress relief, and the power of stillness to transform how I lived.
I went from working in construction and care work - filling my days with activity and my weekends with numbing - to becoming a certified yoga teacher (RYT-500), life coach, and mindfulness coach. Along the way, I let go of cocaine, alcohol, cannabis, and codependency, and learned how to build a nurturing relationship with myself.
Through training in Thailand and my Life Coaching Certificate from Rhodes Wellness College, I found that the answers I was chasing were always inside me - I just needed the stillness to hear them. That’s the same approach I now use with my clients: slowing down, reconnecting with the body, and making conscious choices that build a life you actually want.

Why I Do This Work
I know what addiction feels like. I know what it’s like to feel hopeless, disconnected, and stuck in survival mode. And I know what’s possible on the other side: clarity, freedom, and peace of mind that comes from taking small, consistent steps every day.
My mission with Still Yoga & Coaching is simple: to help you create that same shift in your life - through yoga, meditation, and mindfulness coaching that meet you exactly where you are.
As the Buddhist saying goes,
“Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.”
I felt awful for a long time, and getting to the other side of that, I want to help others come out of suffering too. I love the practice, and I can’t wait to share it with you.
