Vicki Austin

'I started teaching Yoga 8 years ago after deciding that my chosen profession (PR and Marketing) was no longer for me. I had practised Yoga for about 5 years and found it calmed me and helped me manage a busy and stressful job.' Vicki trained with the Sivananda Vedanta Organisation, a tradionalist Yoga organzation based in India and founded by the great yogi and teachings of Swami Sivananda. Training is based on the ancient gurukula teaching system which integrates the student's daily life in an ashram (yoga retreat centre) as a fundamental part of the teacher training course itself. This allows for a firm foundation on which to build a teaching vocation, self discipline, self practice and an awareness of the true nature of yoga. Vicki is based in Buckinghamshire and teaches general classes in the area.
