I’m Verity, the face behind Satya Yoga. The Sanskrit word Satya and my name share the meaning "truth" or "inner truth". In my yoga practice and teaching, I focus on encouraging others to discover their own inner truth and connect more deeply with themselves. 

 

I’m trained in Vinyasa, Hatha and Somatic techniques and prefer a flow-based style that nurtures holistic well-being. Each of my classes are designed to integrate movement, meditation, breathwork and thematic inspirations. Creating a balanced and enriching experience. 

 

Movement has always been a passion of mine with a long career as a choreographer and dance teacher. I have always been captivated by how movement can express deep emotions and tell compelling stories.

​

I have always had a strong and natural connection to the wellbeing of others, and this combined with my love for movement led me to study Dance Movement Psychotherapy. It truly was an eye-opening experience to discover how movement can serve as the bridge to your subconscious mind and aid in emotional healing. I later discovered for myself that this is a key principle of yoga. 

​

My exploration continued with the discovery of Somatics and finally training in a somatic approach to yoga, I found a way to blend both the science and spiritual expression of my practice. Yoga has been a transformative journey for me, revealing a deep connection between the body and mind. 

​

I believe that yoga is for everyone—it’s not about how flexible you are, your level of fitness, how spiritual you are or how you look in a posture. These are just byproducts. To me, yoga is about your willingness to focus inward and connect with yourself through mindful movement, breath awareness and quieting the mind. 

​

My aim is to build a sense of community and hold a space where everyone feels welcome to explore their unique journey.
