Hello, I’m Vanessa Taal.
I am a longtime yogi and meditator. (Twenty years in practice, ten years teaching as of 2024.) I am also a writer and editor, based in Brooklyn, New York, through TaalTales. I have continued down both paths with dedication since my teenage years. Now I weave bridges between them, and bring unique offerings to the world. Thank you for your interest!
I am an RYT 500 certified Hatha Yoga instructor, with extensive practice in Yin, Vinyasa and Iyengar. I have completed a Trauma Informed yoga teacher training, and will focus more on trauma in my graduate studies as I practice to become a psychotherapist throughout the coming years. I have spent many days in silent meditation. I have traveled much. I appreciate good food with startling enthusiasm. I am an old soul.
It is my honor to bring these sessions, workshops and retreats to my local and global communities.
In September 2023 I started my master’s degree in Counseling Psychology (with an emphasis on depth/Jungian psychology) at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, California. I look forward to deepening my life’s offerings through this next leg of the journey.
It is an honor to walk your path with you, for the brief time that we are together.
I hope that my retreats, workshops, and sessions will contribute to your Self-knowing and ultimate well-being.
See you soon. Namaste.
Please add me on Instagram, where I post public offerings.
