Vfit Yoga Classes are not based on the traditional Eastern style of deliver – Vicky gained her Yoga teachers qualification (Level 5 NVQ) through Group Ex training. This course was extremely focused on Anatomy and Physiology and the mechanics of movement opposed to the more spiritual side. Having had many injuries and treated people in severe pain, Vicky’s main priority with Yoga is to first and foremost get people moving pain free, after that we then focus on how to breathe properly – no stress and panic breathing, then we focus on re-strengthening the body in a systematic fashion. Ensuring agonist/antagonist symmetry and the recruitment of all muscles not just prime movers and the big boy muscles.
Often people are in pain so assume they need to stretch and it’s rarely the case, with over 10 years experience as an injury therapist and 15 years as a pro athlete sustaining many injuries Vicky takes time to watch how each client moves during class and offers personal suggestions on what needs to be stretched and what needs to be activated/strengthened. This scientific, personal approach is the thing that sets Vfit Yoga apart from other practitioners. Well that and the fact we converse during all classes while working, so we can learn and understand our bodies and better tune in to our issues.
If you’re looking for a fresh approach to your aches, pains, and injuries or you’re an athlete/sports person and would like to move faster, more effectively causing less niggles then get yourself booked for a session in the heat and wholesome humidity of the Hot Box.
