Hi, I'm Victoria

About me

When teaching yoga and offering treatments, I create a space for people to reconnect with their bodies, helping them return to the natural flow of life. In our age of disembodiment, many see the body as something to control rather than listen to, often overriding its wisdom.

 

I believe that building safety and trust within ourselves and our surroundings is essential to living fully. This is why I advocate for embodiment, self-awareness, and developing a compassionate relationship with all parts of ourselves, This means embracing and building capacity to be with even the parts we might have ignored, avoided or hidden.

 

My passion for healing grew from my own journey. When I began yoga and meditation in my mid-twenties, it awakened a deep need for self-exploration. I started questioning everything: my beliefs, behaviors, and the sources of my pain and addictions

This sparked a deep desire to understand the complexities of being human. At the time, I felt broken and lost, struggling with physical pain, anxiety, and low self-worth. I couldn’t safely express my authentic self, even with close friends or partners, and was weighed down by shame and unresolved trauma.

 

Driven by intensity, I turned to spirituality for healing, immersing myself in trainings, retreats, and endless teachings, spending all my winters in India. Yet, despite all my efforts, my pain and disconnection remained, and I saw contradictions between who I wanted to be and how I was actually living.

 


Like many on the spiritual path, I had bypassed my body, focusing on transcendence without fully processing my pain and trauma. Despite having many tools, it wasn’t until I integrated spirituality with science that true change began.

Through studying neurophysiology, trauma, and working with Somatic Experiencing therapists, I began to process the stress stored in my body and learn tools to regulate my internal states, creating new positive pathways in my brain and experiencing post traumatic growth.

 

After a few years, I began training in Somatic Experiencing, which I am currently still completing. I remain in awe of the power of this modality and integrate SE principles into my teachings.

 

The nervous system governs all systems in our body; as it becomes more regulated, we gain the capacity to handle life’s joys and challenges. This shift improves sleep, relationships, reduces symptoms, and helps us respond thoughtfully instead of reactively, allowing our true, whole selves to emerge.

This journey inspired me to create Ma. I’m grateful to offer asana, bodywork, pregnancy support, singing, ceremony, workshops, retreats, and blogs. We thrive in brave, connected spaces where we can meet ourselves as we are. We’re wired for connection.

Jai Ma.

What people say about their experience...

I met Bashini at the Anand Prakash Ashram, India. I was immediately drawn to her bright light that filled the space she was in. Her classes at the ashram were powerful and uplifting. I felt that her love and wisdom were infused into her teachings and it helped me to move into a deeper space within my physical and spiritual body. She holds such a compassionate presence and it shows in the way she helps you through your practice, adjusting you mindfully, respecting your body and what it allows you to do. I would definately recommend experiencing one of her classes. You will truely benefit and maybe not in a way you expected.

Meeting Victoria was a life changing experience for me. I guess I was at some sort of 'turning point'. She left me deeply inspired and encouraged. Her input, whether it was breathing techniques, poetry or writings, shared experiencesshe had herself or that have inpired her and anatomical knowledge touched me. In both her teaching styles whether it be the slower or the more active practice, she has this beautiful intutition for this little gap between being challenged too much and not being challenged enough. With her I never experienced either of the both extremes. I felt like she kept us safe and steady in this powerful in-between. You will learn to differentiate and you will find ease, joy, trust and strength in this gap, to which Victoria is guiding you through in her classes.

Victoria's great experience and mastery are evident in the wisdom and ease which she shares insight into being in the present moment whilst embodying yin and yang. Her teaching is grounded in clear instruction, maeningful adjustments and positive energy. No matter what you bring with you onto the mat, you will leave the class feeling balanced, refreshed and loved. Thank you so much!

I have had the pleasure of knowing Victoria for many years but our connection has greatly deepened since she shared her love for yoga with me. I joined Victoria in India for a three month long exploration into the self discovery and healing through yoga and meditation. It was a life changing experience and completely transformational in every sense and it would not be possible without her experience and guidance.

During my time of learning yoga more consistently through taking a one of Victoria's 3 week challenges, her support and teachings propelled me into a profound journey about discovering so much about myself by developing a special bond between my yoga mat and daily practice. I learnt to reconnect to beauty of life, experience the true nature of myself and a feeling almost as though I'd finally come back home to my true essence in a healthy and balanced way. She was attentive and nuturing throughout my progress and provided dynamic and powerful teachings with an open heart enabling healing and growth in abundance. I felt I truly flourished with Victoria as my yoga mentor. Thank you 

'Thank you, Victoria. You teach with profound knowledge and empathic care. Your own way to lead us through theory and practice bridges body, mind and soul and allows for intimacy, growth and common understanding.'

I took part in a 10 day morning challenge course with Victoria. She is a great teacher especially because she is so authentic, I always felt welcome and that I could come the way I am. She has so much experience and can enrich her classes with knowledge from different fields such as Taoism or Neuroscience, that was very interesting. The practice is deep and mindful and it helped me so much to feel better when I was having difficult times. Victoria is a very special teacher. I am very grateful for this experience.
