Victoria Austin Yoga Aylesbury -

Yoga with Vicki is just what the doctor ordered and so much more! After a class, I always sleep better and since attending my flexibility has improved significantly! Following our move from London, I was resigned to the fact that yoga - after attending many classes throughout the years in search of a class that was ‘just right’ - was perhaps not for me. My youngest daughter encouraged me to try a local class and my intention was to search, once settled! Unbeknown to me, my daughter completed a Google search on my behalf. She shared Vicki’s details and her many excellent recommendations and…off I went to Vicki’s yoga class. Vicki’s yoga class literally ticks every box for me and is a marked contrast from the ‘competitive’ classes I attended in London. Vicki makes you feel welcome without any pressure, suggests multiple variations to suit and encourages us to challenge ourselves, appropriately and safely. Vicki is truly an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G yoga teacher! It helps that she is personable and friendly too! Finally…..I feel like GoldiLocks with her bowl of tasty, satisfying porridge! It may have taken me years to get here…. but Vicki’s yoga is ‘just right!’ 😊

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!!

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!

My friend recommended Vicki's yoga class to me a few years ago, and I've been a regular ever since. I've attended Vicki's classes at Booker School, which is in a large, pleasant hall, and also at Fairford Leys community hall, which is a smaller space, but has underfloor heating, which is awesome in the winter (especially during the final relaxation!). Vicki's classes have a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and no one takes themselves too seriously. I always feel like I've unwinded at the end of each 1.5 hour session. The classes are for all levels of experience, and Vicki always offers suggestions to suit beginners, anyone with injuries or physical restrictions, as well as offering more challenging variations of poses for more experienced practitioners. I'd highly recommend Vicki's yoga classes, whether you are new to yoga, or have been practicing for years!

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!

Vicki is the answer to my yoga dreams! I walk away from every class feeling less stressed, stronger (physically and mentally) and walking taller. I have been attending Vicki's class for about two years and hadn't had much luck with yoga before that - I found other classes to be competitive which, as Vicki reiterates in every lesson, is NOT what yoga practice should be about. Vicki is warm, encouraging and has really taught me how to listen to my body and engage in my own practice.

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 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! :)
