ABOUT VICKY

The practice of yoga had been in my life since the year 2002. It was for me the same as most people who practice yoga something I did once a week that made me happy. I have to say this was the making of me to develop both physical and mental confidence. In 2015 I found the practice of Ashtanga Yoga. Again this was a huge milestone for me, as I got into the practice I felt like I was being reminded of something I had forgotten rather than learning something new. I saw similarities to the discipline of a martial art too. It pulled me deeper into the world of movement practice which I now do daily. Also I found exploring other types of yoga such as Vinyasa, (which is now the style I share the most), Rocket and Yin have only fuelled the passion I have for the process of self-enquiry. The teaching came about at a point in my life where something needed to change. I had worked for about 20 years in a job that didn't suit me, always feeling like a square peg being shoved into a round hole. I kind of knew that if I didn't do something pretty drastic to change my life there would be serious consequences. Another teacher planted the seed of teaching after a class ane day and eventually I took the step and did my training. I have been qualified since November 2019. So now every day I ask the question to myself and the universe "How can I best serve?"

I’m a year in to my flexibility program with .brier.contortion
The journey to release my upper back so I don’t have to deal with so many migraines. Also it’s quite nice not to have my ears ring and see stars when I do full bridge.
Progress has been slow, but it’s happened.
I’m pleased and I just keep going.

For those of you that have followed my page for a while you will know I’ve been dealing with various health problems.
Well I have a diagnosis.
I have a condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. This is the name for a group of genetic changes that affect connective tissue. There are 13 types of EDS.
The type I have is hEDS, this is the most common type caused by a dominant gene which means it only has to come from one parent.
How it affects me personally;
Generalised Hypermobility- My hips and waist are unstable, this can cause pain mainly at night. My joints click frequently. Flexibility can be trained, yet there are certain things I have always been able to do without training.
Skin Hyperextensivity- My skin is unusually stretchy, bruises easily and heals slowly.
Dysautonomia- Tachycardia, dizzines, temperature deregulation, insomnia.
Headaches
Lightheadedness
Anxiety
Depression
Autism, ADHD traits,dyslexia, dyscalculia
Vascular Traits- Arrhythmia, Reynolds Disease, haemorrhaging problems.
GI Issues- IBS, cramps, bloating, flare ups.
MCAS- Mast Cell Activation, this causes a certain group of cells to react to things, causing food intolerances, allergies.
Piezogenic papuels of the heel.

I’m still trying to get my head around all this and I haven’t included everything I suffer with in the post.
The Zebra 🦓 association. This is because it’s unusual and health professionals have to think outside of the box to diagnose this. The symptoms appear so random. If someone told you to think of an animal with hooves you wouldn’t think zebra first right?
The symptoms are so random because it’s collagen production that is affected, collagen holds literally everything together in the body.
The good news is knowledge is power, the bad news is it’s incurable as it’s a pathogenic genetic mutation. I can learn to manage it though and raise awareness. I think a lot more people have this than we think.
More posts to come in the future, probably. 🥰🦓❤️‍🩹

Practicing as part of a community is one of the best ways to practice Yoga. 🧘‍♀️
However though Yoga is an introspective practice we do need to be mindful of how our presence affects others in the group.

Showing Up On Time 🕰️
Please try to be on your mat ready to begin the practice at the start time of the class. Life happens and sometimes we are late, but being consistently late is disrespectful to the person leading the class and the other people who have showed up on time.
If you are more than 5 minutes late please don’t enter the class. People are settled and especially if it’s a meditative practice you are disturbing them.
If you are attending a stronger flow you will likely have missed too much of the warm up so it is potentially not safe for you to enter the class.
This is incorporated into the practice of the Niyama Tapas- self discipline.

Respecting The Other People Around You 🧘‍♀️
Snoring or coughing through a Yoga Nidra, talking and whispering to other practitioners during the class.
Questions to me are welcome even encouraged, but please don’t chat during the class.
If you start coughing during a practice, please leave the room. If it subsides you can renter, if it doesn’t then don’t. Snoring is also not encouraged during a Yoga Nidra. (Deep rest with awareness)
These come under the Yama Asteya-no stealing.
If you ruin someone’s meditation you are stealing their practice from them. This also includes lateness, stealing others time.

When practicing in a group there are naturally going to be disturbances on occasion, but doing our best to prevent these scenarios is part of the discipline of the practice. Fitness centres are often on the noisy side so all these things we can do to help each other out is really helpful and all part of the 8 limbed Yoga Practice. 🙏

I’m trying to work out how to film videos on my iPhone. 📱 I filmed this in 4k, I don’t know what that means. I didn’t know what to film so I figured I’d film my practice. I haven’t done that for a while. When you don’t have a teacher it’s a good idea for alignment checks. My alignment has some issues 🤦🏼‍♀️ at least I’m human though. No AI here 🤣

Happy New Year everyone.
Enter the new year with positivity but no force. I say this every year, January is mid winter ❄️ a time for slowness and hibernation. Not suddenly deciding to hit the gym 5 days a week from nothing. The only reason New Year is now was because the Romans decided it suited their tax year.
Keep practicing, but practice to your energy levels and what your body is asking for in the present moment.
Spring is the time we naturally get an energy boost, when mother nature wakes up. We are not separate from that.

May the coming year bring you happiness, healthiness, peacefulness and freedom. 🙏

Personal practice is very limited at the moment. Dealing with permanent dizziness, disorientation and bouts of vertigo limits things a great deal.
Lifting makes me dizzy,
Inversion makes me dizzy,
Noisy gym environments make me dizzy.

What I can still do is splits though 😀 also a bit of back extension (but very limited) No full bridges 😢
Can we take a moment to just appreciate how much my upper back has opened though. My head is closer than ever to my foot. Can’t flip my grip yet though.
I just need to carry on getting through my classes without falling over and finding what I can still do in personal practice.

If you are someone that wakes up every day feeling great, please don’t ever take that for granted. Give quiet thanks every day, it’s not guaranteed to stay that way. Lean into the joy of the pleasant moments and that will give you the strength to get through the unpleasant ones.

Also if you aren’t feeling good for whatever reason don’t force yourself to carry on, that’s not good for your health, it could also cause harm to others. You never know what hidden condition the person next to you in class has that you are coughing over.

Let’s all try and be as healthy as possible for Christmas. 🙏

Bridge Progress Check in.

Top photo January 2025, bottom photo November 2025.

I think we have some progress here. It’s not dramatic like some people on the program, but my back is exceptionally unbendy. Plus some nerve tension. The journey continues.

My personal practice has changed over the years, particularly over the past few years. I tend to practice alone at home these days. Partly because I enjoy the solitude, partly because there aren’t really any local classes that inspire me.
This has created space for me to bring in other types of movement practice. Such as lifting weights 🏋️‍♀️ calisthenics 🤸‍♀️ flexibility and conditioning. I also meditate way more than I used to. From a Yoga Nidra, to a guided journey, to simple vipassana.
Also my practice has had to fit around various health issues. Cruelly it seems they have got worse since I became a yoga teacher. I am in this contemplative mood because I’ve been laid up unwell for a few days, feeling jealous of the people who never seem to get ill. I know not very yogic. 😂 I guess I’m sensitive to the environment and there are people in the world that are way worse off for sure. There are people in the world that live clean, exercise, look after themselves and suffer illnesses. There are people in the world that abuse their bodies with drugs, alcohol, poor diet, lack of exercise and get away with it scott free. So end of the ramble. I appreciate the time to contemplate. I think 🤔 🤦🏼‍♀️

RANT ALLERT ⚠️

I’m normally pretty good at ignoring all the nonsense on the internet. This post showed up actually in my FB feed. A classic example of misleading and poor advice on achieving some pretty advanced shapes. I don’t know who this lady is, I’m not having a pop at her specifically.
It’s just another example or poor advice that can lead to frustration and perhaps even injury.
You can’t just stretch and stretch more to achieve this. Where’s the advice on the strength and conditioning needed to achieve these posture’s?
In my opinion whether you are a yoga teacher, a gymnast, contortionist or dancer what do you think on this?
I don’t think any of the before pictures prepare you for achieving the after pictures.
Please feel free to disagree with me. I’m always open to new perspectives. 😊🙏
