"Victoria is an outstanding yoga teacher with the sensitivity and experience to assess each student's unique needs and provide what each student requires to move forward. A "hands-on" teacher, Victoria can sense the precise guidance the student needs to take his or her practice to the next level. A delicate touch here, a whispered word of guidance there, and the student suddenly finds all the pieces of a hitherto elusive asana falling into place." -Tom R., Montecito, CA "Thank you, Victoria, for great yoga!" --Anne B., Scottsdale, AZ "I want to let you know how very helpful you have been to me with your excellent teaching of Yoga. The practice that I have been doing with you has allowed me to play my violin. You helped me to get through a very difficult period with my arm and in the coaching you gave me, physically and spiritually, I was able to build a whole body of strength and presence needed for performance on my instrument. I appreciate the care you take in every detail of every pose. You have the ability to articulate exactly which muscles to use and how to maximize each pose, and this has made a big difference in my practice...I also appreciate your constant study and how you bring your new perspectives back to us. Thank you for adding so much to my life! - Barbara C., Goleta, CA
"Yoga practice with Victoria is something I look forward to each and every week. Victoria's classes provide welcome relief from the stresses of daily life and allow me to receive the gift or her sessions. In doing so, I have achieved greater strength, flexibility, and body control. Victoria's calm presence and masterful teaching methods have guided me to a place in which I am motivated to receive and gain the yogic lessons." -Christine R., Montecito, CA "I love Victoria's Yoga class! It's relaxing and energizing at the same time!" - Judi A., Montecito, CA "...There is nothing like having a firm foundation, and I definitely got that from you!! Thank you every time I practice. Thank you. I think because of your influence, I am a much better person, I am a much calmer person, and also much stronger. And, because of your kindness, I have found something I love to do...I think that often we go through life, not realizing how much we touch other people and truly affect their lives. I wanted you to know that...you have been (a) positive force in my life, and how very grateful I am." - Cheryl S., Scottsdale, AZ
"Victoria is an inspired teacher who shares her extensive knowledge generously and in a loving way. She demonstrates the asanas very precisely, always with correct body placement and avoidance of injury uppermost in mind. She circulates among the students during class, observing and helping individuals. She has a gentle and lighthearted sense of humor. In her class I have begun to awaken to the spiritual as well as the physical aspects of yoga." - Carlin M., Summerland, CA "Restorative yoga with Victoria is non-competitive and honors my limits. Victoria's rejuvenating classes have enabled me to feel saner, healthier, and much more flexible. I now experience less of the body pain which has plagued me for the past 25 years of working on a computer. Even though we are in a group class, I feel like I'm having a private lesson." -Gloria G., Santa Barbara, CA
"Victoria is such a great teacher!

What a simple concept - even just learning how to breathe deeply. It makes such a difference in my day to day activities. Thank you, Victoria, for all you do for me and everyone." - Tia H., Santa Barbara, CA "I enjoy your classes so much. Your style of yoga teaching exactly suits my practice. I gain so much from your attention to detail as we move into each pose...I always find new things that I never thought of or felt before in the pose...I always feel comfortable in your class, yet I always feel challenged." -Mindy M., Santa Barbara, CA |
