Ver took her first yoga class in 2002, just as she was about to start a new job that was causing her anxiety and keeping her up at night. Turning to yoga videos for solace, she discovered Rodney Yee and has been practicing ever since.

She started teaching in 2016, after being certified through Les Mills Core and Les Mills Body Balance, as well as becoming a Certified Personal Trainer. She enrolled in our Yoga School teacher training here at the studio and was in our first group of graduates! Now she is part of our Yoga Grad School, working on her 300-hour advanced teaching certification.

Ver loves teaching because she knows, “spending that one hour through the magic of breath and movement and maybe something I say during class has the potential to shift students' mood and make them feel better”. Relying on her “grit and perseverance," she takes on "really hard things (like ALL the time)”. Her family (mom, dad and husband) are her biggest cheerleaders.

She does a gratitude walk every morning with her dog in nature and is “in constant conversation with God”. Being as present as possible, she notices the beauty of NM all around her. She loves eating at nice restaurants, sipping her morning coffee, and sitting in her backyard.

In addition to her yoga teaching, Ver had a 20-year career in marketing. In 2020, she decided to get her school teaching license and now works for APS, helping to run the DECA program at the high school she graduated from!
