Victoria Austin Yoga Aylesbury

I absolutely LOVE attending Vicki's yoga class at Lewknor! I used to do Yoga regularly before having my son (now 6!) So was a bit out of practice, but Vicki explains everything so clearly and is always ready to give extra guidance if any of us are confused or unsure of a certain pose that I quickly got back into it!The class is geared towards people of all abilities which is great because modifications of poses are always offered, and more challenging options are shown if you're feeling up for the challenge. Classes are always varied and different, so I always feel I am learning new things, whilst being able to practice and progress further with poses I'm more familiar with.I also attended Vicki's Yoga retreat day which was amazing, and such a lovely way to spend a Sunday, learning and practicing Yoga with lovely like minded people. I will definitely be attending the next one!I cannot recommend Vicki and her classes highly enough! Thank you Vicki! :)

In July 2020 my dad passed away suddenly. One day sick of the anxiety, panic and fear I had been experiencing I googled Yoga. I have not looked back. From my first practice Vicki made me feel relaxed. She corrects me in a kind way so I don't feel stupid. I look forward to the 1.5 hr session which is long enough to properly escape. I am inspired by other group members who too have welcomed me in their quiet way and who are awesome at Yoga. My hope is that one day I will be as good as them. But for now Vicki and her yoga practice has come just at the right time and for that I am very grateful. Yoga has become part of my getting better. Long may that last and thank you Vicki.

I have been attending Vicki's classes for years now and can honestly say that she is hugely important in my life. Her yoga helps me to switch off after work, get back in touch with my body and improve my strength and suppleness (not to mention sleep that night). If you're looking for a friendly class with a highly experienced yet warm teacher with a great sense of humour, and irrespective of whether you're a stiff beginner or supple and experienced, you'll feel the benefits in body and mind after every class!

Vicki's classes are very well structured, and I always feel very safe in my practice with her. She caters for all abilities and if you cannot achieve a particular pose, her reassurance is always there. I came to Vicki's classes after the class I attended for nine years folded during the pandemic. I am so grateful that Vicki was recommended to me. Returning to practice has lifted my mood tremendously. Thank you so much Vicki!

I've been going to Vicki's yoga classes for about 10 years. As someone in her fifties, I thought it would be about maintaining my good health, but it certainly does more than that: not only has yoga helped to keep me balanced mentally and physically, but I genuinely am increasingly strong and more flexible.Vicki is an authentic and kind yogi, person, advisor and community spirit. She wholeheartedly lives her life as yoga and ayurvedic practitioner, but never in a preaching way. Her instructions for how to approach the postures are clear, she explains the physiology and gently adjusts the positions of her students.She is also light-hearted, funny and clearly enjoys her work. I would recommend Vicki to anyone who is looking for a yoga teacher.

I started yoga classes with Vicki in November last year and soon after my partner joined, too. We were both new to the practice but we never felt uncomfortable or behind the group as everyone is very friendly and Vicki make the class enjoyable for any level. My neck and shoulders pain due to long hours sitting at a desk have improved significantly since I practice yoga. We recommend Vicki's classes to anyone, just try one and you'll not want to leave.

I cannot recommend Vicki's classes highly enough - they have been an absolute saviour during lockdown. Vicki creates a relaxed and welcoming space which is accommodating for all levels - modifications always provided for those who want to do less or who may want to level up. Far from being intimidating, classes over Zoom feel intimate whilst also providing the comfort of being part of a community. Vicki's instruction is clear and concise allowing practice without even having to look at the screen. I really appreciate that Vicki stays true to the traditions and rituals of Yoga and every practice is different, challenging and illuminating - providing a beautifully holistic work out for the mind, body and soul. I always feel so connected to my body and like I'm walking on air at the end of each class. If I could give Vicki a million star rating I would.

Vicki's classes are wonderful!! Vicki has a very calm, warm personality and her classes are a perfect blend for newbies all the way to experienced yogis. Each movement is broken down step by step and layers are added so that you can accommodate each position to suit your ability, flexibility or mood of the day. Both my husband and I attend Vicki's classes, me for relaxation, flexibility and mindfulness and him originally for relief from sciatica and now for flexibility and strength for the golf course! Definitely recommended!!

Vicki taught me to 'yoga' when I was a beginner some years ago now, following a recommendation from a friend. I've since moved away from the area but love going back to practice at Vicki's classes when I can. There aren't many other classes that compare to Vicki's. The classes cater for beginners, but also provide plenty of challenges for more advanced yogis! Vicki is great at ensuring everyone is comfortable in her class, discretely providing alternative options for anyone with injuries. I've always really appreciated how well Vicki explains each pose throughout the classes and the sequences just flow. Most of all, Vicki's classes are lots of fun and I normally walk out feeling like I'm floating on air! Can't wait to practice again soon!

I am so grateful for Vicki's online classes during this past year, they have been enormously beneficial to me. I have suffered with painful health conditions for a long time, and yoga is a truly important part of my recovery and healing, from both a physical, and mental perspective, and especially valuable during lockdown.Vicki's enthusiasm for yoga and Ayurveda is evident, and she is a very experienced teacher, and is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, caring and encouraging.
