"Studying how to manage the breath & Pranayama has not only changed my approach to Yoga Asana, but also become a valuable tool for stress management in my everyday life. Vicki’s wealth of knowledge and nurturing approach to teaching, creates a safe and encouraging environment in which to explore the subtleties of our body. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in anxiety/stress management and also yoga practitioners interested in moving their practice to a deeper level."
