Vanja Banks has been devoted to the path and practice of yoga since 2009, cultivating a lifelong relationship with the practice as an anchor to return to self through all seasons of life, love, loss and transformation.

In 2021, she deepened her studies through a 200-hour Yin/Yang teacher training in Spain, an experience that clarified her passion for guiding others. What began as personal practice evolved into a calling to hold space for embodied transformation.

Vanja is also an Astrologer, Alchemist & Embodiment guide, helping women reconnect to their bodies, honour their emotional cycles, and live in alignment with inner and cosmic rhythms. Her work is rooted in the belief that true wellness exists at the intersection of the physical, emotional and spiritual bodies. She integrates astrology-informed themes, nervous system awareness, and subtle energetic insight into her classes, creating experiences that feel both deeply earthly and cosmic.

Her flows are thoughtfully balanced, blending strength and softness, structure and intuition. Drawing from both Yin and Yang traditions, she offers well-rounded practices that support the mind, body and soul.

For Vanja, yoga is a form of embodied alchemy: a way to shift patterns held in the body and cultivate alignment from the inside out.  Beyond the mat, her life continues as ritual; through dance floors, facilitating moon circles and community gatherings, exploring wild landscapes and creative expression.
