Today’s Woman Veronica Parmar

Veronica Parmar

Pilates Coordinator and Instructor for YogaWorks Playa Vista

 What is your passion?

My passion is teaching.  I started working with children in my early 20’s teaching dance and now I work with adults as a Pilates Instructor.  I work with all types of individuals and love to see them become stronger and grow in their Pilates practice.

1 thing you do every day that contributes to your daily well-being? 

One thing that I do every day that contributes to my daily well-being is getting enough sleep daily. I do my best to get 7-8 hours every night.  I feel that when I am well rested I’m able to be more present for my clients and family.

A charity that I support.

I am a member of the Westchester Elks Lodge located in Playa Del Rey.  I found out about the organization when I first started dating my husband who was an active member.  They put on a lot of great community events such as an annual chili cookoff/car show and Oktoberfest.  A good percentage of the money raised goes to Veterans services and providing occupational therapy for children who can’t afford it.

One thing I would tell my teenage self.     

One thing that I would tell my teenage self is don’t worry so much about what people think of you.  As most young people I was concerned about what people though and if they liked me.  I’ve realized as I get older that not everyone is going to like you and that’s ok.  It’s important to find your people that do!
