VANESSA EPPINGER

Originally from Brooklyn, NY, Vanessa migrated to San Diego in 2015. She took her first Pilates class in 2018 and has been hooked ever since. Forever a student she began her teacher training journey in 2020 through Balanced Body and is currently continuing her training with BASI Pilates Academy. 

As a day time technical writer in the cyber security industry, Vanessa believes in attention to even the smallest detail, understanding the bigger picture, and seeing how everything fits together. These same principles apply to her Pilates practice and teaching. She also believes in being humble and kind to yourself. This is why she emphasizes proper alignment, personal corrections and modifications, bringing awareness to your body and above all a fun compassionate environment.

When she isn’t teaching, practicing, watching or reading about pilates, she loves to practice Brazilian Jui Jitsu, read (all kinds of books!), cook, bake and spend time with her family.
