Vera Ginsburgs

Practicing as a dance/movement therapist in the Philadelphia area, Vera brings the same supportive and non-judgmental approach to her yoga teaching and practice.  Combining a dance background with her own yoga practice, Vera aims to create a playful and light-hearted environment in classes where varying levels of practitioners can equally explore their yoga practice. Trained at Wake Up Yoga in 2005, her classes are Vinyasa based designed to build heat and energy in the body through fluid movement and intentional sequencing. Vera received her Masters of Dance/Movement therapy through Drexel University in 2007, taking her education and yoga background to work at an inpatient psychiatric hospital.  Vera has been teaching yoga to both children and adults in Philadelphia and New Jersey for the past 5 years.  Through yoga, Vera believes that one can develop a keener self-awareness of the interplay between the physical, cognitive and emotional being.  With this deeper understanding of self, one can carry these insights out of the studio into their daily life. 

Vera and her husband Scott recently became homeowners in the South Philly area, and are grateful for the new Wake Up Yoga to have joined the community.
