I attended Vivien’s monthly Rest and Restore class by zoom for the fist time on Wednesday evening and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to practice some restorative yoga in the comfort of their own home. Once signed up to the monthly class, you will receive a video of the session to use as often as you wish for a month, until the next Zoom class.
I already attend a weekly in person class with Vivien so the R&R class was a very welcome addition which I will be doing again in October.
Vivien is professional, supportive, friendly, caring and tailors all postures to meet the needs of individuals. She gives clear instructions and guidance and offers a range of options for attending her classes: in-person, Zoom and pre-recorded video if you can’t attend in person.
Classes are held in Stockleigh Pomeroy Village Hall which is airy, comfortable and has great facilities - the views are amazing.
I highly recommend Vivien’s Yoga for Life classes.

I have been attending Vivien’s yoga classes for nearly five years, and through them I am always learning and appreciating the value and importance of being open to my experience on the mat, each and every time. Vivien teaches yoga with a deep knowledge and wisdom that is readily adapted to support each person’s requirements, whilst also attending to the group and holding space to practise. I have found Vivien’s approach really supportive in helping me attune to and work with my body and mind, as it is, in each particular moment, and feel that my practice has deepened over the years. Vivien creates a safe haven to practise in, and I always feel the benefits whilst practising and immediately after class, as well as in life off the mat too. Vivien teaches with such ease, care, authenticity, friendliness and warmth -  if you are considering joining, just go for it!

Vivien tailors each class to the needs of the class. She also introduces the ancient principles of yoga in an natural way that is easy to understand. She always provides a friendly and fun environment. Namaste, Vivien.

Always look forward to my yoga class with Vivien.  A friend bought me a one to one lesson as a present a few years ago & I am so pleased that she did.  The classes are so warm & friendly.  There’s no pressure & Vivien is an excellent teacher who tailors her instruction to each individual student.  I have benefited both mentally & physically since taking up yoga & would recommend it to anyone.

Vivian shows you how to integrate mind, body and breath, how to understand yourself better. To understand what you used to do automatically. She is into ancient wisdom and calm in a busy world. There is no perfect posture, only the best one for you.

Vivien demystified yoga for me and helped me build a regular practice which has sustained me through good times and bad. She is such a welcoming, engaging and sensitive teacher, always starting with where you are yourself in terms of mood, fitness and health, then encouraging you to explore and question your boundaries. The focus on breathing and its importance in well-being was a revelation to me.  I've experienced Vivien's classes on a one to one basis as well as live and online and would recommend all forms of class she offers, depending on your needs and the time available.

I have attended Vivien’s classes for 12 years + including 1-1 sessions, face to face classes, workshops and weekly online sessions. Vivien is a thoughtful, skilful and responsive teacher who is amazingly able to tailor classes to individual needs. Now in my early 70’s I find the classes easily fit my increasing need to maintain strength and balance in my older age. I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and my consultant was positive about my recovery partly due to a body strengthened by years of yoga practice.
Many of my fellow attendees have been with Vivien for the 14 years + she has been in Devon I think that speaks for itself

Vivien is empathetic, kind, gentle and very knowledgeable.  She is encouraging and demonstrates how to do yoga in a way most suited to your body’s needs. Unlike some other yoga teachers, she never makes you feel inadequate, her teaching methods are to show you what you can do, and not to push you further than your body can go. There are always modifications demonstrated for those, less bendy, people. Her positiveness and skills have helped me through difficult times and a once troublesome back problem I had, is no more. I would be lost without her yoga sessions.

I have attended Vivien’s yoga classes for over 15 years and have nothing but praise for the way classes are run. Classes are warm, friendly, relaxed and inclusive, catering for all ages.
My flexibility has actually improved over the years and I feel better equipped to handle pain.
Vivien manages everyone’s individuality with great skill and her teachings are fascinating.
Highly recommend.

I’ve been attending Vivien’s class in Shobrooke for fifteen years & am totally grateful that I have. I seriously consider my body is so much improved as a result. Posture, breathing & a général better understanding of the human body. Vivien is such a brilliant teacher, she gives clear instructions, shows acceptance & encouragement to people who are less experienced or able. She’s dedicated, loyal & totally committed to her skill. In my opinion Viviens students are more than lucky to have found her. If you haven’t I encourage you to do yourself a Favour.
