About Vanessa
Vanessa Levin began her studies in bodywork and cultural somatization in 1993, receiving a BA at UC Santa Cruz in Anthropology and Film, then an MA in Counseling Psych at Antioch NE. Back injuries and surgeries led her to a formal yoga practice in 2002 which brought her from dependency on pain meds for maintenance of back pain to being completely med free and walking normally in six months. She received a 200-hour training in Vinyasa from Fitness Resources, then a second 200-hour training from YogaSpirit Studios in 2005. Becoming a teacher was a way to show others that you don't have to be uberflexible to acquire the benefits of yoga. She also has over two decade of experience in mindfulness meditation with her studies in Buddhism and continues to learn about body mind work through her trainings and private massage practice in Kittery.
Vanessa combines stretching, deep tissue, acupressure, and trigger point work for optimal results with her clients and those at York Hospital where she works primarily with pre/post surgery and cancer patients. Teaching and training in California and New England has been helpful in joining a variety of lineages including Iyengar, Kundalini, Ashtanga, Anusara, and Insight Yoga.
