TESTIMONIALS
"Vicki is a wonderful teacher, with a wealth of knowledge so you can be sure you're in a very safe pair of hands. She encourages you to try but does not push you beyond your capabilities or what you feel comfortable with.
After just a few months my strength and suppleness have greatly improved. A way to go yet but with Vicki I'm sure I'll improve even more as she gives me the confidence to keep trying. It is a really lovely, relaxed class."

“Practicing breathing techniques with Vicki has truly opened my eyes to the power of your breath. From relaxing to a point I didn't imagine possible to holding a plank position for longer than I ever have before, the results have been remarkable. The positive impact on the quality of my sleep has also been amazing, which in turn has improved my energy levels, concentration and wellbeing.”

"I have been doing Vicki's classes for a couple of months now and am really feeling a difference in my core strength and flexibility. Vicki's classes are always varied and engaging. Her knowledge is extensive too; I love hearing the reasons/ benefits behind certain moves or breathing exercises." Amy (40’s)
“Vicki came to our school to deliver a yoga and relaxation session to our sixth form students. The pitch was just right from breathing exercises to stretches accompanied by mindfulness exercises and we finished with a long relaxation. We all had a wonderful experience, which was so beneficial to our students, who are often stressed by the demands of their sixth form studies and what lies beyond. This session encouraged them to pause and reflect, and refreshed their energy levels for the next term. Thank you, Vicki. I highly recommend her sessions for schools.”
"Not only has learning different breathing techniques with Vicki helped me to be in control of my anxiety but I sleep so much better at night and feel so full of life and energy when I am awake. I also find that with Vicki's guidance I am becoming better equipped to take on physical challenges which I would have previously found difficult."

“I’ve always been a shallow breather and find switching off difficult. But with Vicki’s help I have improved my posture and become more aware of the importance of diaphragmatic breathing. I am definitely learning to relax and beginning to understand what stillness is.”

“Victoria led four superb sessions for our staff as part of our January Wellbeing INSET Day. The sessions were brilliantly organised and well received by our staff.
We look forward to welcoming Victoria back to Cheltenham Bournside School and Sixth Form Centre to work with both staff and students. Thank you!”
“Vicki provides weekly sessions at Henley Bank High School for a small group of Year 11 students who are thought likely to benefit. Most students attending tend to struggle with the school day and are given time in this session to 'reset' and practice relaxation and self-regulation skills. Quotes from our students:
‘I enjoy yoga as it helps me escape my mind and be in a calm setting. I enjoy the box breathing and mindfulness. It’s a safe space that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed.’
‘I enjoyed it very much as it helped me calm down as I was able to really focus on what I was trying to achieve. For me, I find it quite useful as I get a lot of pain in my neck as well as my ankle so this has really helped with the pain. I also do not have the best sleep schedule and this has helped to make sure that I am sleeping well.’ ”
