our approach

we're not like other yoga studios...

If you’re looking for a traditional, ancient, yoga practice I have only one piece of advice : travel to asia.

I’ve done it - it’s great, and it’s steeped in a history that no western teacher or brand can ever claim to offer in the same way.

With my initial training in China, followed by my further learning in India - I’m thankful for the incredible insight it’s given me to be able to offer a bespoke practice that caters for the exact and everyday needs of my students back home.

We offer a western flavour of yoga that caters for the needs of those looking for flexibility, body understanding and improved self-awareness in an environment that doesn’t pretend to be something it can never be.

Thou shalt not Ommm,

Thou shalt not gong.

Instead, let’s focus on getting the very best out of your body, at every stage of your journey.

See you on the mat!

Vic.

Victoria's journey

I started sìdà yoga after completing my formal 200 hour teacher training in Shanghai in 2015. It was there I developed my passion for Alignment Yoga and my yoga beginnings were heavily influenced by Iyengar yoga too.

This grew into a passion for all things relating to body posture (asana).

While yoga is so much more than just the physical practice, I became obsessed with breaking down those postures and finding new ways to practice and make them more accessible to others in the process.

Forever a student, I continue to focus on my professional development and have now completed teacher trainings in Vinyasa, Rocket, Yin, Aerial and Restorative yoga and I am proud to be an Experienced Yoga Teacher (EYT) with the Yoga Alliance with nearly 1,000 hours of certified training and over 7,000 hours teaching others what I know.

I am passionate about functional mobility and creative sequencing as well as providing an all-inclusive environment for my students. I teach beginners through to advanced practitioners and also coach fellow teachers in my continuing education workshops and courses.

If you are passionate about movement, looking to improve your mobility and keen to discover new ways to get creative in your practice, then I believe that sìdà yoga is the perfect partner for you.

I really enjoy coming to classes with sìdà yoga as they are full of variety and I can choose a practice to suit my day throughout the week, whether that’s a relaxing yin practice or something more energising.

Vic caters for all abilities and offers modifications of different poses so that attendees are always able to work at their own pace with the option there to challenge themselves if they feel ready. Since beginning classes with Sida Yoga I have noticed my practice really developing and I am a lot more confident now (with Vic’s guidance!) in taking new steps to keep exploring this.
