Vanessa's passion for movement started at an early age when she began to dance. Ballet was a big part of her life until her early twenties, when she discovered Pilates.
She received a full mat and apparatus certification from Ann McMillan Pilates (AMP) and later opened her own Pilates and Barre studio in Montreal, where she has been teaching since 2014.

This training system uses the latest research on bone health to create a well-rounded, fun class that will support your bone health while working your strength, posture and balance.
Yoga tune up® classes combine myofascial release with muscle reinforcement and proper alignment of the body. Self-massage with YTU balls will create awareness and a feeling of release of the tissues that have been rolled. The instructor will then guide you through a series of exercises and postures to more efficiently work the rolled areas and surrounding joints and muscles.
