Vera Kasper

Heated Vinyasa

Born and raised in Switzerland Vera began her yoga journey in 2010 in New York. After practicing yoga for many years and experiencing its incredible physical and mental benefits Vera decided to deepen her practice by immersing herself in two separate yoga retreats, one at Sivananda Ashram, Bahamas in 2014 and the other at Ananda Ashram, New York in 2015. Her experience at the retreat inspired her desire to learn more about the ancient practice of yoga, and thus she completed her 200-hour teacher training with Kay Kay Clivio, Adam Vitol, and Yogi Charu at Pure Yoga, New York in 2018, thereafter receiving training in pranayama techniques and completing her 300-hour teacher training at Yoga Maya in New York. Since then Vera has completed several other trainings to deepen her knowledge in pranayama, restorative yoga, kirtan and more.

In her personal practice and in her classes, Vera fuses together various schools of yoga that are concentrated on strengthening the body, breathing fully and steadily, and flowing through various poses, all while focusing and calming the mind. Vera seeks to remain mindful that she is a guardian and preserver of a sacred tradition, remembering that she serves as a conduit guide between the tradition and the divinity within its students. She works to stays open and receptive to what each individual student needs, so that she might act as a channel of this beauty as much as possible.
