Wendy DeFeudis (also known professionally as Very Wendy) is a movement and creative healing guide with over two decades of experience in yoga, Pilates, meditation, breathwork, and expressive arts. A certified yoga instructor, NASM personal trainer, and seasoned Pilates teacher, Wendy specializes in trauma-informed, strength-oriented practices that reconnect people with their power, presence, and innate wisdom.

 

Her classes are intelligently sequenced and strength-building, with a focus on deep embodiment. She weaves together functional movement, somatic awareness, and mindful breath, creating space to both challenge the body and soothe the nervous system. Wendy is known for her grounded, soulful teaching style that invites students to feel safe, seen, and strong—physically, emotionally, and energetically.

 

Before moving to Cape Cod full-time in 2020, Wendy taught at premier studios and fitness centers across New York, Fairfield County, and Boston, including the Greenwich Water Club, Edge Fitness, Crunch, MYX Fitness, and Boston Sports Clubs. She now teaches on the shores of Cape Cod, offering beach yoga, Pilates, and private sessions that support whole-body healing and reconnection with nature.

 

In addition to her movement credentials, Wendy holds advanced training in Yin Yoga, Internal Family Systems (IFS), nervous system regulation, self-compassion, and guided breath and meditation techniques. She integrates these healing modalities into her classes and workshops to help students cultivate inner safety, resilience, and emotional clarity.

 

Wendy is also an accomplished fashion illustrator and creative guide. As the founder of Very Wendy Designs, her artwork has been featured in W Magazine, InStyle, Brides, and commissioned by fashion brands including Vogue, Elle, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s, and Macy’s.

 

With a background in art therapy, Wendy brings expressive drawing, journaling, and creative exploration into her healing work, using visual storytelling to process grief, embody the feminine, and reclaim personal power.  Whether she’s guiding a beach yoga flow, a strength-based Pilates class, or a creative embodiment workshop, Wendy invites each person to come home to their body, breath, and brilliance—and to remember their capacity to live with strength, softness, and soul.
