I’m so grateful to have actually passed this course. I think I’m equally grateful for the journey it took me on and how much I’ve grown as an individual.

I remember the very first weekend we all met. I was so scared but also really excited.

For someone who had never really done yoga, you all welcomed me in, and I am so grateful for that.

I have watched everyone grow and transform with this course, and it’s been such an inspiration to me. You have all inspired me one way or another, and I thank you for that.

I’m so excited for all of us and the future.

I’m still pinching myself, that I actually got through this course. I still have so much to learn, and I certainly have an appreciation of yoga that I never had before.

Vickys teaching, patience, knowledge, and sheer awesomeness made learning fun and gave me the confidence to keep going.

I can not thank you all enough.

I cried on the way home. I am so proud of my and our achievement, and so sad that I won’t be coming to the course monthly to be with you all and that it’s ended.

However, I am sure we will see each other at some CPD and hopefully meet up anyway .

Thank you all again, from the bottom of my heart. You all ROCK.

I couldn’t have wished for a better bunch of people to have gone through this journey with. Or a better teacher.

Love and light, Angela ❤️

Having made the decision to undertake my 200 hours YTT, it was very important to me to find a teacher and yoga school that keeps the authentic philosophy of yoga and essence of the physical practice front and centre.

Vicky’s YTT course at Apanaveda not only embodies these key aspects in their entirety, but builds on these foundations to provide a full comprehensive learning experience, and framework in which to develop your own practice and style as a yoga teacher.

The quality of external practitioners/guest teachers Vicky has invited to contribute to the delivery of the course has been outstanding. They have been specialists in their respective fields, and as such, have provided further insight and context to our learning, helping us to develop as practitioners, and gain confidence in our yoga knowledge on and off the mat.

Vicky’s experience, knowledge and credentials mean she is an exceptional practitioner, teacher and mentor. Her teaching style comes from a place of warmth and wanting to share her wisdom with her students, to enable them to develop and progress to become yoga teachers and practitioners who teach with integrity, and respect for the practice.

Vicky’s course at Apanaveda is more than just working towards a qualification. Whether completion of the course creates opportunities to explore as a yoga teacher, or enables a more considered and informed personal practice, eitherway it is a valuable investment in ones body, mind and overall health and wellbeing.

Completing my Yoga teacher training with Apanaveda School of Yoga has been a great experience.
Vicky is a warm and welcoming yoga teacher, and incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about ‘all things yoga’.

Her team of visiting teachers all bring their own individuality to their area of expertise and are extremely inspiring.

There has been a lot to learn, but the journey has been thoroughly enjoyable, and made easier because of the close knit and supportive group that we have been lucky enough to form.

Vicky’s beautiful studio in gorgeous surroundings have been a lovely learning space to visit, and as I complete this part of my journey in to sharing the joy that yoga brings with others, I will always be grateful to have met such great like minded people through the Apanaveda school of Yoga.

Vicky,  thank you so much for your course, teachings, patience, and passion for bringing a calmer, yet more alive style of yoga to the fore front.

I joined Vicky’s course in September 2022 with a feeling of excitement and wonderment, but also with some nerves and anticipation.

Vicky’s course offers a life changing experience, which is heart opening, informative, diverse and rich in up to date anatomical and bodywork coverage, as well as a deep dive into pranayama breathing, philosophy, and meditation techniques, and everything you need to know about class sequencing, structure and how to keep your clients safe through thier practice.

Like all things new, there is challenge to this, and for me this course came at a time alongside some difficult personal issues. I wanted to give up at times, but Vicky encouraged me to continue. It would have been easy to drift away from my dream,  of becoming a yoga teacher,  but the course kept me strong, as yoga always does.

Vicky’s course helped me forget everything that I thought I knew about yoga. Her teachings  helped me to undo and let go, allowing such a huge paradigm shift that I hardly recognise myself today. To let go, to release,  to breath and to explore movement in a way that brings about an inner calmness, but also just assists the breath, the body and the mind to just be.

I completed my training in June 2023 and I am so thankful that I found Vicky, and that I stayed the course. Being a yoga teacher is a professional practice, and Vicky’s course will give you the skills and knowledge needed to set off in this beautiful bodywork field.

I did not believe in myself, but Vicky did. Since qualifying in June I have set up my own weekly class and am planning to start another in the new year. I have approached local centres and been offered the opportunity to cover classes on an ad hoc basis, and I have found a beautiful venue in a Wellbeing centre for offering one on one sessions in in the future.

This is just the beginning of my journey and  I know this and believe and trust that it  will be an ncredible and magical ride.

For anyone considering Vicky’s course,  consider no more. Her course is truly amazing. My confidence has grown and last week I felt comfortable enough to close the practice with a short chant.

‘Om, shanti,  shanti, shanti…’

Thank you for believing in me Vicky.

Much love Caz 

Just wanted to thank you again for your support and patience!Words cannot express the gratitude and appreciation I feel for you and the impact you have had on my life. Your passion for yoga and your dedication to your students is truly inspiring, and I have learned so much from you.

Your teachings have helped me to find a sense of peace and balance in my life, and I am forever grateful for the guidance and support you have provided.

Your patience, kindness, and dedication to your students have created a welcoming and positive learning environment, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of it.

For anyone who is considering Yoga Teacher Training I can whole heartedly recommend the Apanaveda 200hr Yoga Teacher Training course with Vicky Adamson.

Vicky only teaches a few students a year and she has put together the most amazing course. When you finish you are confident to be able to start teaching straight away which is what I have done. The course flows over monthly weekends from Sept to June and each weekend builds on the last one so you are really learning as you go. Vicky has got in external teachers who are experts in their field to teach some of the modules and so the level of course content is really good and this enables you to have confidence in yourself as a teacher. It is a very well planned and delivered. By having smaller numbers than most teacher training course Vicky can really give attention to each individual student, she responds immediately to questions and queries so that you really feel supported in your learning. In our group we really bonded as the months went by. We really had a lot of fun along the way as well as all qualifying as yoga teachers and I know I have made a really lovely group of friends

Apanaveda Teacher Training is so much more than a yoga course. Its founder and mentor Vicky has created a remarkable training course, born from a wealth of experience and knowledge and of being a warm and caring pure spirit. It is so much more than a yoga training course, the journey touches you on a profound level, that establishes deep within, as your spirit begins to blossom and bloom into becoming an Apanaveda Yoga Teacher. I whole heartedly recommend this wonderful School of yoga.

Vicky guides, shares and delivers inspiring insight and wisdom of the yogic way, her devotion shines through every module. Alongside her, for various parts of the course, she brings in incredible guest speakers that are expert in their field. She provides an invaluable manual that underlines and explores the various aspects of the course and becomes a life-long support tool.

You feel completely supported and Vicky teaches from the heart with an innate ability to connect with each student with patience and kindness.

Thank you so much Vicky and all the beautiful souls I shared my course alongside, it has been an amazing journey that has shaped me, taught me and inspired me to move forward and to share the light that has ignited within me, on and off of the mat.

It is a privilege to be a part of the ever growing, and in Vicky’s loving words ‘Apanaveda Family’.

Love and gratitude

Doing my Apanaveda yoga teaching training was truly the best thing I have ever done! It must have been meant to be, as I knew instantly when walking into the beautiful garden studio on the first day that I had made the right decision! There are hundreds of courses to choose from but Vicki is truly a special teacher. She teaches from her heart and is so pure, genuine and kind with a world of knowledge to impart. She helped all of us to reach our own potential, giving lots of hugs and encouragement along the way! Apanaveda yoga is true yoga, with yoga philosophy at the heart of absolutely everything. Be prepared for a very magical and personal journey!

I have had the lovely experience of learning to be an Apanaveda teacher with Vicky. She has been more than just a teacher, she is a friend with loads of knowledge and patience . The course gave me a deeper understanding about life, the confidence to change direction and help other people reach there goals. I have spent time with some lovely people on the course who now are friends. It has been a journey which has enriched my life, taught me to teach yoga in a safe way and with integrity. Thank you Vicky so much .

“I am so grateful for your guidance and heartfelt teaching, your wisdom and your friendship. The TTC has been such a beautiful life-changing journey, prepared so beautifully by you and your knowledge and grace. You’ve helped me recognise my true Self and the goodness in others. You always have ‘time’ and have held a space for all of us on this journey in such a loving, gracious manner.

This has been so much more than teacher training. I feel like you’ve given me something so special, that some people may not find in their lifetime. I recognise contentment in the present moment, something I’d rarely felt before I started the course. Your quote…. ‘There is ONLY ever the present moment’ will stay with me for a lifetime.

Thank you for all you have given. I am so incredibly grateful and you are so so special.

This course was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It’s so much deeper than just Yoga Teacher Training. Not only do you meet some incredible people on your journey, but you really learn a lot about yourself too.
The level of understanding we have gained as yoga teachers is second to none. I feel proud to be an Apanaveda yoga teacher and have so many tools to be able to help people in life and ensure I teach in a safe manner.

I would love to just take the time to express the last 9 months of my YTT journey.
I have made some amazing friends for life.
Not only a self journey, great friendships, a tutor for life but also so much knowledge, enough to keep me unraveling the onion of yoga for ever.
I am so happy I did my research to find a yoga course that would not only teach me the philosophy of yoga and much more, but also by the end of the course the confidence to start my own dream and business as a yoga teacher. Thank you Vicky for helping me love yoga not only on the mat but more importantly off the mat

This course is authentic in every aspect-as yoga should be.

Vicky teaches her Apanaveda style with an incredible knowledge base and experience, and with a kindness and acceptance which sets her apart. Her very humanistic approach has taught me that yoga is suitable for everyone and that you do not have to be body ‘perfect’ to teach and that body ‘perfect’ is not the point of yoga anyway!

‘After looking at different styles of Yoga Teacher Training, I was drawn to Apanaveda Yoga.

The course was a life-changing experience.

The level of detail in the training manual is amazing and is well balanced by Vicky’s many years of experience, helping us through the process of learning how to move the body in a safe and natural way.

I found that Vicky has a natural ability to tune into each of her students, ensuring everyone learns together, yet in their own way.

The course work was covered with a hands-on approach, helping all to gain confidence in their own way of expressing themselves as teachers.

Group work was fun and at times it felt there was a connection between teacher and students, that I have not experienced before.

The day I completed my teacher training, I felt I could teach with confidence, safety and with the heart-and-soul of continuation of what yoga really is……A Journey!’

Vicky has a magical way with teaching and motivating, every session Vicky brings something different with her: humour, love and kindness, amazing skills and above all her knowledge which is boundless. I’m so excited about my future, this has been a wonderful journey, which has really only just begun. I miss the weekends spent with all the wonderful people who have become lifelong friends and I look forward to when we get together, it’s lovely to keep in touch with them and see how we all progress as each of us takes a slightly different path. I thank Vicky from the bottom of my heart for all she has given me, this course has been life changing in a way I never expected.

Vicky has been my valued and respected yoga teacher for ten years or so. Over this time, I have learnt so much from her which has coalesced during this last nine months teacher training enabling me to feel happy and confident as a fully-fledged yoga teacher. Very grateful to have shared this journey with Vicky and my amazing fellow students.

Apanaveda Teacher Training provides you with the grounding and foundation to enter the wonderful world of teaching yoga as a knowledgeable, confident and safe instructor. The course delves extensively into philosophy, theory and practice through patient and compassionate training from Vicky and the excellent guest teachers she has on board.
The beating heart of Apanaveda is Vicky with her wealth of knowledge, experience and continuous guidance. Her unwavering support and loving kindness, along with the new friends and kindred spirits that I’ve shared this journey with, have made this an incredible experience.

I can hand on heart say, what an emotional and life-changing weekend this last weekend of the course has been, with such special people I have shared this incredible journey with. Thank you for being so supportive, loving, kind and believing in each other despite obstacles and life’s challenges. Thank you to our beautiful guru, teacher and friend, Victoria, you are such an inspiration and a wealth of endless, limitless knowledge, all wrapped inside the most compassionate, devoted, selfless soul. I truly love you. Thank you my fellow tribe… WE DID IT!!!!

After months of searching for the right yoga teacher training course in the UK and abroad for the style of teaching I wanted to follow and not finding what I was looking for I was lucky to attend one of Vicky’s yoga classes and discover that she was just starting up her own teacher training course. Loving her style of teaching, integrity and warmth I decided to sign up to Apanaveda. Being based in Essex I also thought that training in my county would be beneficial for forming a good network of fellow yoga trainees to bounce ideas off throughout my training and also once I am qualified. I could not be happier with the outcome to date.

I am halfway through my training and the level of teaching is above and beyond other courses I looked at. The group of people in my class are wonderful and I couldn’t have asked for a lovelier bunch of yogis to join me on my journey. Vicky is a fantastic teacher who takes the time to ensure everyone fully understands what is being taught and teaches in a fun and uplifting way to always keep the lessons fun and interactive. She takes onboard feedback and adapts to each persons needs and I consider myself blessed to have found such an inspiring teacher to learn from

Vicky is a patient, passionate and truly inspiring teacher. Her course covers the many different aspects of yoga and she gives her students the knowledge, confidence and support needed to become safe and effective teachers themselves. It has been an amazing journey and I would thoroughly recommend this course.

This is truly inspirational teaching – years of experience and loving kindness coming together to provide a framework in which you can deepen your commitment and develop your own teaching practice.

To be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect from Apanaveda but I certainly haven’t been disappointed. Vicky is a caring teacher and has put together a course that combines technical knowledge with hands-on guidance. I now have a clearer picture of my own intentions and have the confidence to bring the joy of yoga to a wider audience. Nothing less than a life-changing experience!

Apanaveda Teacher Training Course is an in-depth course of yoga where science, philosophy and practice of yoga slowly and gently becomes a part of you.

Victoria has a unique way of teaching that empowers her students from the first lesson by bringing freedom to their minds and bodies, releasing them from habitual patterns of thoughts and movements. She teaches without rushing, with enthusiasm, giving herself to the lessons unlimitedly and is a guide to her students during and outside of class hours.

I look forward to each and every class with all my heart, mind and soul.
