✧ About Me

A Little Magic, A Lot of Heart

Hi, I’m Vanessa Wenninger — circle facilitator, yogi, ritualist, mama, and tender believer in the magic of women gathering. I live with my family in the hills of Meggen, Switzerland, where the lake meets the mountains and the soul can breathe deep.

Since 2015, I’ve been holding women’s circles — first in California, and now here in Switzerland — creating spaces where women can slow down, be seen, and remember their power.

I came to this work because I needed it.
I longed for something deeper — a spiritual connection with other women that felt real, nourishing, and safe. I wanted a place to grow, to be held, and to come home to myself. When I couldn’t find it, I created it.

✧ Why I Circle

Women have been gathering in sacred circles for thousands of years — to share stories, tend to each other, rest, grieve, celebrate, and reconnect with the earth and themselves.
I believe this tradition is not just ancient — it’s essential.

My circles are a modern remembering of this lineage: a space for ritual, breath, movement, intuition, and the kind of deep, soul-level connection we’re all craving.

Whether you're seeking sisterhood, spiritual nourishment, or just a place to be your whole self — you’re so welcome here.

✧ Before Circle I found Yoga

I fell in love with yoga the first time my feet touched the mat in 2003. Since then I’ve enjoyed practicing and teaching yoga in California and Switzerland. 

As a California native I completed my 200 hour teacher training in 2010 at Yogaworks in Costa Mesa. I began my teaching career in 2011 at Yoga Moves in Winterthur and completed various yoga trainings in Switzerland through the Air Yoga, Atha Yoga and Sanapurna studios in Zurich. 

As an elementary school teacher I’ve also taught and created school yoga programs for young yogis in both California and Switzerland. 

I believe that yoga is for every body. I love to infuse mindfulness and light-hearted fun into my classes. I encourage you to come as you are and leave class a little lighter. 

✧ Working Together

I support women to express their full selves — through ritual, through relationship, through reconnection with the sacred feminine and their body as a sacred vessel.
My approach is intuitive, embodied, seasonal, and heart-led.

You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You just have to feel the call.

Let’s walk this path together.
