About this Retreat
Vivica guides her students through a soulful embodiment practice with an emphasis on yoga as an opportunity for personal awakening and transformation. Students are encouraged to practice at their own pace and are reminded to listen within. Her sequences allow students to explore postures progressively, so that the body gradually opens, and the energy moves freely. Vivica emphasizes the healing aspect of Yoga rather than a competitive form of exercise. She is influenced by the classical teachings of Tantra Yoga and teaches yoga as an awareness cultivation practice. Her personality is nourishing, her instructions clear and simple.
Vivica has trained with the original founder of Yogaworks Maty Ezrati in 2004 and has been teaching, leading teacher trainings and yoga retreats ever since. Other than teaching Yoga she is an Ayurveda Wellness Counselor, and audio book narrator.
She has led many international retreats including in Costa Rica, Mallorca, Greece, Morocco, Sardinia and Portugal.
Vivica has 3 teenage daughters and lives in Agoura Hills.
