Welcome!

I’m Vicky, it’s lovely to have you here.

My yoga journey began in 2001, after the birth of my first child. What started as a way to move, exercise, and feel stronger soon became something much more meaningful.

As I continued practising, I began to notice not just the physical benefits, but the way yoga supported my mind, my energy, and how I moved through everyday life. Wanting to understand more, and deepen my practice I attended several retreats, later deciding to train as a yoga teacher.

In 2009, I completed a foundation course in Manchester, followed by a two-year Diploma Teacher Training, both with the Inner Yoga Trust from 2010 to 2012.

Teaching alongside real life

Alongside teaching yoga, I work full time as an NHS nurse and I’m also a mum of four (five including my stepson). Life is full, busy, and often unpredictable. Yoga is a big and important part of my life.

This is part of what shapes how I teach.

I understand that people come to yoga carrying all sorts of experiences, responsibilities, and pressures. My aim is to create a space where you can pause, breathe, and feel supported, whether that’s for an hour in the evening or a slower start to your weekend.

My approach to yoga

My teaching is inclusive, nurturing, and grounded in the roots of yoga.

In my classes, you can expect a blend of movement (asana), breathwork (pranayama), and relaxation, often with small elements of meditation or other traditional practices woven in. For those who are interested, I gently introduce aspects of yoga beyond the physical, in a way that feels accessible and relevant to modern life.

I also bring elements of trauma-informed yoga into my teaching, helping to create a space where students can feel safe, respected, and in control of their own experience.

You are always encouraged to move at your own pace, listen to your body, and adapt the practice in a way that works for you.

A space for everyone

I teach a range of classes across South and Central Cambridge, including Hatha yoga, Vinyasa flow, and community classes.

Some students come for a gentle, slower-paced class. Others are looking for something more dynamic and energising. Many arrive simply wanting to feel better in their body or find a bit of calm in their week.

Whoever you are, and whatever brings you to yoga, you are very welcome.

Creating a sense of community is an important part of what I offer. I want my classes to feel like a place where you can show up as yourself, feel at ease, and connect with others if you wish.

Continuing the journey

Continuing the journey ♢

Yoga continues to be a big part of my life beyond teaching. I regularly attend retreats and further training, and I’m always learning.

I’ve recently returned from my second trip to India, where I attended the International Yoga Festival in Rishikesh. Experiences like this continue to deepen my understanding of yoga as more than just a physical practice, but as a way of living.

Looking ahead, I hope to grow my teaching, offer workshops and retreats, and continue building a supportive yoga community locally.
