Our Founder - Veronica Greene

With over 32 years of experience teaching yoga and 13 years dedicated to training future yoga teachers, I bring a unique perspective to my programs. As a degree-qualified Electrical and Electronic Engineer, I approach yoga teacher training with the same precision and structure as developing a functional specification—blending science with the art of movement.

My training courses & classes, both adult & children, delve far beyond learning yoga poses. They are designed to create meaningful connections between functional movement, brain development and balance.

By integrating principles of functional anatomy with an in-depth understanding of how the nervous endocrine, and digestive systems are interconnected through the brain, I help students unlock the transformative potential of movement. Correct functional movement when paired with a focus on these vital systems, supports a balanced body and brain.

In addition to my deep knowledge of functional anatomy, I am currently studying for a certification in FUNCTIONAL NEUROBIOLOGY. This ongoing study further informs my approach, ensuring my programs remain at the cutting edge of the science behind movement, brain development, mindfulness and holistic well-being.

My mission is to empower students & yoga teachers to not only teach well but to truly understand the intricate connections between the body and brain—enabling them to guide their students toward profound transformation.
