Manya Wandersee

Manya’s journey in the health + wellness field began at age 10. She started out as a sport loving, weight lifting, nature enthusiast. Upon taking her first Yoga class in 2013, Manya quickly became addicted to the anxiety calming and physical benefits of Yoga. In 2016, she graduated college with an AA Degree in Fitness/Nutrition/Health. From there, her passion for movement took off, since then earning her 500 HR YTT, NASM Personal Trainer and Corrective Exercise license, Spin and Buti Yoga certifications, as well as her Nutrition Consulting License. Always embracing variety in health! In early 2022, she opened her Yoga/Pilates/exercise studio in Kodiak, Alaska.

Manya believes in a natural, holistic approach to health and wellbeing. While she loves a powerful Pilates/Yoga session, she knows how important it is to slow down and reconnect with her spiritual side through primal movements and grounding exercises. Through traumatic life events, she has used the healing tools learned in Yoga to let go and remain optimistic. Her quirkiness shines through in every class that she teaches and you will be sure to leave with a smile.

Aside from her passion to teach and take others classes, she loves a good nature-filled adventure followed by a relaxing evening. If there’s one thing Manya is great at, it is making others feel confident and high on life.

Travel Insurance

We cannot emphasize more the importance of travel insurance. As we all know, especially as travelers, “life happens.” Whether it’s family, work, mother nature, or a change of heart, it is important to be prepared in case you need to unexpectedly change your travel plans. Often for less than $150, you can purchase a travel insurance policy and be protected in the event that you need to make a change or need to be covered financially prior to or during your trip. 

We have partnered with two insurance companies: Trawick International and CSA Travel Insurance (available for U.S. Residents only).
