Meet The Neighbours - Vera Powles

Vera is a yoga teacher, integrative nutrition health coach and book author with a background in Molecular Medicine and over 12 years of experience in the healthcare industry.

In 2019 Vera founded Mana Living, a wellness brand with a holistic approach that is science-backed to deliver long-lasting results. Mana Living offers in-person yoga classes and popular wellness retreats as well as an online membership currently with members in five different countries.

Vera's work is rooted in her "6 Pillars of Wellness" framework which includes diet, movement, sleep, stress, emotions and spirituality.

Vera grew up by the sea in Portugal in a coastal town that closely resembles North Shields so being here feels like home to her.

She says: "I'm incredibly excited to be hosting yoga classes and wellness events from Harbour House in 2024. Community is at the heart of what we do so it feels very aligned to be part of this incredibly special collective."
