Hey! My name is Vanessa, and I’m the yogini behind asanavanessa.

I first started yoga as a way to gain strength and core muscles to support my oddly super natural flexible body. As I started to gain the strength I needed to support myself, yoga felt less like working out, and more like a rewarding experience. Achieving asanas I thought my body could never attempt is a satisfying feeling as well as the ease it brings to the mind as you focus on clearing your thoughts and balancing.

I started my journey October 2015, and I have learned so much and met so many people through a wonderful social media following on Instagram. I’m starting this blog to further document an HONEST approach to yoga, and help share any tips and tricks I have and lifestyle products I like with other fellow yogis.

Take a look around, and shoot me a message if you would like to chat!

It was an amazing night in October!

Discount Codes

All the brands I wear are ones I trust, love, and 100% recommend. I only partner with companies I believe in – this is all gear I use during my practice, if you see me wearing it – I chose to.

The mat company I trust the most! It has a great grip and the alignment marks are so helpful. Liforme also has some great charitable initiatives all the time and I stand by their values as a company. Oh and if you’re wondering, it’s pronounced LIFE – FORM – it took me a while to figure that out lol

My code is ASANAVANESSA for 10% off your Liforme purchase! Make sure to use it at checkout

A big part of why I love posting on IG is because I love creating. Working in design, I love looking at layout, colours, lines, the story being told. Whether it’s an elaborate reel, a transition, or photos - It all sparks my creativity, and keeps my passions alive.

Not only is it fun to practice but it’s great for improving strength, balance and flexibility - and really challenges your focus. A nice mix of all the things!

To get started with this shape, make sure you are warmed up with open hips and shoulders. Try using a strap for the first time, and placing your foot on a block for an extra lift ✨

I’m having so much fun with this! Full Body Burn I’m having so much fun with this!
Full Body Burn at home ❤️‍🔥

I’ve been playing with my @lhanelfit Pilates Kit at home, and I am seriously impressed. This has been the best way to supplement my yoga practice, all in the comfort of my home!! It’s so easy to get started, it simply unfolds right out of the box, and you can easily use it to work upper body, legs or core 🤸🏻‍♀️ I’ve been trying to incorporate more pilates into my life, I know my body needs it. 

Here are my fave moves for a full body burn, working both strength and flexibility!

Try doing 5-10 reps of each, on either side 

1 - Forearm plank curls
2 - Pike press
3 - Standing Lunge
4 - Side split lunge + Hold Skandasana 🔥
5 - Side pulls

Check out this at home pilates kit!
