Atma Vikasa Yoga
Atma Vikasa (Venkatesha Hatha Yoga)Atma Vikasa Yoga is a style of Hatha Yoga designed by world renowned Indian Yoga Guru, V.Venkatesha. ‘Atma Vikasa’ means the ‘evolution of the soul’ in Sanskrit and the system is based on the principles that knowledge of the world should arise from experience.
Atma Vikasa Hatha Yoga involves practising a combination of postures, breathing and relaxation. The yoga sequence includes all the classical yoga postures and is suitable for beginners to more advanced students. Postures are normally held for 10 breaths with an emphasis placed on correct alignment. Detailed verbal instructions are given by the teacher along with very gentle hands on adjustments. The primary aims of the class are for students to ‘feel the pose’, quieten the mind and balance their emotions.
The practice is a great physical workout, with strength, stamina and flexibility being developed but also leaves the student with a feeling of inner calmness and peace.

"Veronique truely has a gift to teach yoga. Her sessions are an oasis from the stresses of London living. After a hard day at the office it's a pleasure to reach the tranquility of Veronique's class. Her style of hatha yoga is both energizing and at the same time relaxing. You are encouraged to work within your own abilities and are constantly surprised to witness the growth of your bodies flexibility and your hearts new found peace and contentment. I can't recommend Veroniques' classes highly enough" James Gooch
"Veronique is an excellent teacher with a calming manner, who explains things clearly and simply. She treats everyone in the class as an individual and is able to address our own specific issues. She has helped me to improve my general yoga practise and specifically helped me to control my asthma. She teaches a good balance of asana and breathing techniques. I would highly recommend Veronique to both beginners and those who are more experienced in yoga. I always look forward to her classes." Steve Buolge
