"Vicky is a very knowledgeable, fun and confidence building individual. The course material is thorough and met both my personal and professional needs. As a mother the physiology part of the course gave me a better understanding of birthing, offering some key information which may completely improve my experience of birth the second time. Professionally, I was able to write my own 6 weeks course material as soon as the course was completed. I am now opening my 3rd weekly Pregnancy Yoga class in Reigate, Surrey, through my local company www.yogamoo.com, only 3 months after completing the course."

I feel so fortunate to have attended Vicky’s whyoga Pregnancy Teacher Training. Vicky creates an intimate, positive, safe and interactive environment, where we all are able to share our experiences. Before my training I knew very little about pregnancy. After completing the training, I returned home full of excitement, inspiration and with a deeper knowledge. The way the course was organised was ideal. I appreciate the time we had to discuss the importance and impact of different hormones, labour and the spirituality of birth. At the end of our training, Vicky invited us to one of her pregnancy yoga classes. This is where we experienced how Vicky teaches her class with the same positive, safe and dynamic way she taught us – it was an incredible experience. Vicky’s approach and yoga flows are dynamic and informative and interweaves a deep respect for a woman’s body. As a new yoga teacher, I feel empowered and inspired to start sharing the asanas and pranayama exercises with women who are celebrating their pregnancy.
And once again, thank you Vicky for the gift you have given to me and so many others by sharing your expertise. I feel so very blessed. Namaste, Jenn!
