I'm Vicki, a yoga and breathwork teacher and Reiki Practitioner based in Bournemouth.
I teach gentle, accessible yoga classes and retreats, for anyone looking to improve their movement and flexibility, reduce anxiety and stress or find yin in a yang world.
My classes are particularly welcoming for beginners, older adults, and people living with long-term conditions, such as Multiple Sclerosis.
I focus on simple, mindful movement, breath awareness, strength, flexibility and balance, offering clear guidance and plenty of options so you can work safely within your own body.
I trained with the British Wheel of Yoga and recently studied at the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram (KYM) in Chennai and Laura Greene.
Who are my yoga classes for?
Beginners are welcome and modifications will be given throughout class
I specialise in helping older adults and those returning to exercise after injury or illness
Anyone wishing to try yoga in a small, welcoming environment
