Veronika Yoga Trainer at Yotism

Veronika is a Yoga Teacher of 20 years and one of Yotisms’ Yoga teacher trainers. She specialises in Early Years development, Pregnancy, Mother and Child, Children, Teenagers and Adult neuro-sensory Yoga.

I am very honoured to be part of the Yotism team and share with you the culmination of a lifetime of working as a Yoga Teacher and specialist.

I began my Yoga journey when I was 27 as I found myself in a very stressful diving job in Thailand and had a young family to support. I knew within the first 10 days of practicing that Yoga was going to be part of the rest of my life. Little did I know then I’d make it my whole life and career.

I trained with the British School of Yoga in 1999. I then went on to further teacher training and many other related developmental journeys. One of the most powerful initial trainings I attended was Kashmir Yoga. I am also a very keen Vipassana meditator, a technique said to have been practiced by the Buddha. I practice this technique regularly and attend 10 day silent retreats at least once a year. 

 Kashmir yoga was my first introduction to Nervous System function. Kashmir yoga taught me to meet my students where they were through language and movement. It helped me to understand how adults in particular could change the way they moved just by using their creative imagination, sensation connection or sound awareness. This helped later on when Nicole and I began to develop Reflex Yoga.

Reflex Yoga is the brainchild of mine and Nicole’s lifetime’s work. It is born of  Nicole’s huge knowledge of the reflex system, which I have also studied, and my natural ability to implement and develop a Yoga method along side it.  This method directly treats the primitive reflex system and uses yoga to ground the work in the body. I am continually inspired by the results that adults and children experience from this Yoga method: from the small things that change people’s lives forever, to huge shifts in a child’s development issues, Reflex Yoga is a powerful tool for all.

I now co-train with Nicole on the Yoga for Autism Foundation course, on the Reflex Yoga weekend workshop and the 200hr Reflex Yoga teacher training course. I run workshops, one to one’s and weekly classes as well as having a Reflex Yoga therapy practice in school once a week.

I feel blessed to be here to share and experience this knowledge by leading training with you.
