A love of animals
Animal therapy is another of Vicki’s passions, bringing the tools of yoga and horses as therapy is a dream. Vicki’s parents purchased her first Pony when she was 7 and she has had horses ever since. Vicki is very learned in Natural Horsemanship having attended many clinics over the years, she is able to incorporate this knowledge along with the tools of yoga to relate to people whom ride and compete. Promoting regular yoga practices can give people the edge by enhancing their focus, building confidence and endurance for competition. Not only for the mind focus but also the value of yoga to sustain physical fitness, flexibility and joint suppleness is also other important benefits.
Why The Name - Veda Yoga Therapy?
The name Veda has an origin meaning "knowledge/wisdom", it also means the "root", "meaning to know".
For Vicki, it has been known for all these decades that an individual can find answers to unanswered questions by using the many tools of yoga & meditation, these tools are the pathway, an access inwardly to the inner self. People want to find a way out of their suffering & pain and find their ultimate desire i.e. happiness, good health, freedom to live a fulfilling extraordinary life.
