workshops and retreats

Workshops and retreats are a great opportunity to deepen your yoga practice. They aren’t necessarily more challenging than regular classes, but are designed to help you deepen your understanding of a particular aspect of the practice.

I’m so excited to announce a weekend of Respite, Retreat and Rejuvenation at Wilbur Hot Springs!

testimonials

“I’m very picky about yoga instructors and have worked with a number of them. Vickie is my absolute favorite. She teaches in the Iyengar tradition and she is obviously very knowledgeable about it. But unlike some other yoga instructors, she is easy to understand and often provides detailed instructions. Vickie teaches mostly at Piedmont Yoga Studio, but at other local studios as well. She offers a variety of levels, but mostly beginner to intermediate which is where I fit in. She encourages her students to work hard, but has a good intuitive sense of when to go easier on them — which is much appreciated! Also, she's funny and so I’ll even sometimes find myself laughing in the middle of a very difficult pose. At the same time, she has a deep spiritual sense which appears to inform her teaching.”
