Veda Cafazzo

Veda has been practicing yoga consistently since 2000. Trained since 2011, Veda eventually began to teach Yin in 2012, and continues to teach and practice today.

What would you expect to find in a Yin Yoga class with Veda? Since it was originally developed to address issues of tightness and inflexibility in the lower body; it's a complement to more vigorous, Yang practices. In her classes, the initial focus is on releasing the upper body and then moving on to established Yin Yoga postures. Each pose is held for 3-5 minutes, lengthening and releasing connective tissues, particularly fascia and learn correct breathing techniques. Explore and understand Meridian Theory, and grasp the rationale behind it. Classes end with relaxation, enabling the body to absorb the benefits of the practice, and to reunite body, mind, and spirit.

When not involved in yoga, Veda enjoys hiking with husband, Paul, and dog, Sam. She loves gardening, cooking, traveling, and reading. Currently studying Italian, Veda has a B.A. in Anthropology, and an M.S. in Zoology, so watch out, she’ll be looking at your anatomy!
