Breath, Move, Heal
Yoga class helps those suffering
from stress and trauma

Jody Nelson faced trauma at age 6.
It never left her.

"I had an undiagnosed kidney infection and almost died," the 49-year-old Santa Barbara filmmaker said.

She said the stress from that stayed with her and manifested itself during her adult life in further illness and anxiety.  Around 1999 to 2000, she was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. She said medications weren't enough to help her with stress, pain and sleeplessness from having an overactive nervous system."

“My experience at the Women’s Wisdom Retreat (June 2014) created by Vikki & Kirtan was certainly my sanctuary for the day and forward!

The thoughtful and balanced schedule made doing core work easy. Time for self-exploration was a strong channel for a day of mindfulness. The positive and peaceful presence of Vikki and Kirtan as well as the venue provided and exemplified the energy of trust and feminine spirituality that encouraged me to be open to receiving that which is for my highest good, which is nourishing the stronghold of my authentic self. It is with love and gratitude that I know I am blessed to have you both as my teachers.”

Ciao Vikki Taylor, Thank you for such an amazing class Monday night at Divinitree Santa Barbara. Your classes are always a bit different, insightful and refreshing. I feel completely cleansed from my past and refreshed for the future while integrating my present moment. The mantras/chants are helping me immensely in developing my breath and expressing my voice. I'm looking forward to next week. Ciao, Vittorio. 8/4/14

"Dear Vikki,  You are so organized and yet loving... I loved every bit of your workshop.  The exercises on Deserving were great.  After doing a lot of work, I saw that there is something more to do.  You took me to the central theme of my Life... 'I am not important.'  Thank you so much!.  Love, Sunil" Sunhil 9/21/12

"While living in Santa Barbara, I have had the opportunity to study with many holistic healing practitioners and Vikki , by far is one of the most authentic, integrated and truly gifted teachers I have encountered. She has been an amazing gift in my life, offering great insight and personal support. Just being in Vikki's presence, I have been inspired and motivated to transcend old patterns, beliefs and habits to help reveal a more fulfilling way of life. Vikki is highly regarded throughout  the area for her professionalism, knowledge and gentle spirit.  As a teacher myself, I appreciate her ability to communicate information in a practical and easy to understand way."

"Kundalini yoga has simply changed my life. I have been going to Vikki's classes for more than 4 years now and have become the kind of person who can live life in the moment and appreciate all that it has to offer. My work/life balance was majorly out of whack and I had hit the wall.... I was that go,go,go driven working girl who was not taking care of myself and was over committed to work in a very unhealthy way.  Once Kundalini yoga entered my life, I could not wait for Mondays! I knew I would leave a better person- balanced and ready to take on whatever life throws at me. The holisitic approach of kundalini including challenging poses and meditation has made me both physically and mentally stronger and I see it as a 2 for 1 deal! I am more my true self because of Vikki and kundalini yoga."  Monica

"It was amazing the shift I felt after my first Kundalini Yoga class with Vikki, I knew immediately this was the right practice for me. I have been going regularly for the past year and during this time experienced significant improvements in my physical health and mental well being. Vikki is a wonderful teacher, I especially appreciate her ability to explain the science behind our breathing exercises and movements and the direct impact this has on the physical functioning of our body. Vikki creates a calm and accepting environment for students and is always willing to meet before or after class to discuss personal challenges. I’m so glad to have found her and this practice and feel very positive about my path to health."    Brittany Andrews 4/2012

"Vikki provides a safe and magical place to practice Kundalini yoga wherever she goes...for the beginner and beyond.  Her moonlight manifestation at East Beach in Santa Barbara was an unforgettable experience that I was blessed to be welcomed into and grow from. I highly recommend this series for all in their journey to participate in.  She is serenely welcoming, provides a nurturing environment with clear direction, and is magically in tune with every student from the moment she reaches out her hand and breathes Namaste.  Once you are within her tender touch, your healing begins". Stephanie M 11/2014

From a participant in my You Can Heal Your Life, 6 Week Workshop:

I wanted to share some more progress I have made after I took your class. I couldn't talk about it in class, but I have OCD. OCD thoughts  are not true, so the class was a perfect platform to change my irrational thoughts.

I had counseling years ago and got rid of most of the OCD then, but I had some lingering rituals which were not good for me. One was to suspend any enjoyment like eating or shopping between the hours of 4 pm and 5 pm everyday. Another was to rinse my cat's dish 278 times. I got rid of these by simply shifting my thoughts. It was a miracle! So, thank you.
