Verena Thackeray

Verena is an embodiment teacher and the founder of confiDANCE – confidence through connection, movement and expression. With a background in Modern Dance and dance pedagogy, she combines mindful body awareness with guided movement and creative expression. Her work is rooted in the belief that movement can be a powerful pathway to reconnect with the body and cultivate authentic confidence. Inspired by the idea that the body holds its own wisdom — as Friedrich Nietzsche once said, “There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophies” — Verena’s sessions invite participants to listen inwardly and explore movement as a form of self-discovery. Through gentle guidance, participants are offered simple movement explorations that blend embodiment practices with elements of dance, meditation, and mindful movement. Rather than focusing on performance or technique, the emphasis is on sensing the body, following its natural impulses, and discovering one’s own authentic expression. Her sessions create a supportive space where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and experience the joy of moving in their own way. No dance experience is required — only curiosity and a willingness to listen to the body.
