Victoria is a certified Yoga Therapist and practicing Registered General nurse.

She works closely with clients to support them following the diagnosis of a life-limiting illness and has a particular interest in working with clients who can benefit from a practice that can be adapted for heart disease and cancer. However, Yoga Therapy can help support many other health conditions.

Her classes are focused on the therapeutic benefits of yoga. Teaching small groups and individual classes ensures each student receives a high degree of personal attention and classes can be tailored to individual needs.

Compassion and care are at the core of Victoria's teaching. This results in her students benefitting from the therapeutic and restorative benefits of yoga in a safe environment.

Private and personalized Yoga Therapy sessions allow for a truly holistic approach to health and well-being that can help support a host of physical, emotional and mental health conditions.

Victoria respects ancient yoga philosophy and current evidence-based research when teaching yoga for health and wellness. She integrates meditation, pranayama (breathing), yoga nidra (deep relaxation) and, gentle asana (postures) to promote a sense of balance mentally, physically and, emotionally.

"Yoga Therapy is the process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well-being through the application of the teachings and practices of Yoga."
