Y2H TEAM

Yoga2Health is managed by Vanaja Dhanan or Van. Her penchant for “anything related to wellness” began overseas in the food and beverage industry. Back in Malaysia since the late 90s she pursued many diverse paths including writing and publishing a children’s storybook "BenO". The book has taken her on many a story telling session entertaining and enthralling young audiences.

Whilst the book provides her opportunities to give back to the community (proceeds from the book are donated to charities), of her current pursuit she says: “This has been a great journey for me. Accidental initially and plenty of rough rides, but now I firmly believe that I am guided by the universe and am doing a form of service to the community. Each person leaving Y2H feeling happy is soul satisfying to me. The joy is immense. Come and enjoy a personalized wellness journey with compassionate and caring instructors and healers.”— Van

Y2H teachers come from diverse backgrounds, but they are all trained in India.  Their teaching expertise has taken them to many parts of the world and we are proud and happy to have them in our family.
