Episode 94: Finding your PURPOSE with Yogini Goddess Vanessa Van Noy

"THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EXERCISE AND YOGA IS PURPOSE"- Vanessa Van Noy

Vanessa is back! For the third time in a row, this time we are speaking about FINDING YOUR PURPOSE, yoga, being a woman in this yoga world dealing with sexual predators, yoga teaching, specifically teacher training programs, how much shitty programs there are out there, space fillers, a yoga teacher mill just pumping out teachers, we speak about all this and the responsibilty Vanessa feels teaching teachers herself in her Advanced Yoga Teacher Training. And we dive back in time to our own experiences of teacher training and our yoga careers, two decades for Vanessa, one decade for me.

Vanessa is such a legend! She has been teaching in the NY metro area for over 23 years. She has worked with pro and collegiate athletes, people with physical limitations, and everyone in between. She specializes in creating practices that are fluid, functional and fun. She encourages humor & compassion, perseverance & perception , love & laughter. Vanessa is also the founder of “Headstands for Hunger “a annual yoga-based community event that feeds hungry people and homeless pets in Monmouth County NJ. Because TAKING YOGA OFF THE MAT IS WHERE IT IS AT!

Vanessa is a true believer in the power of the practice .Yoga has changed her life in so many ways. Yoga has made her a happier , more confident and more content human being. Vanessa's mat has been her safe place for a long time, a place where she can feel strong, hopeful and connected. Her wish is to share all these gifts with her community, and to help all beings live their lives happy, healthy and free. She is also the co founder of PURPOSE yoga studio in New Jersey.
