Vicki Durst has been teaching Hatha Yoga since 1974.

A graduate of San Diego State University with a BA in Physical Education, Dance and Art History, Vicki first studied Yoga at the University of Oregon while earning a Master’s Degree in Dance and Art History. In San Diego she trained and taught at the Yoga Institute and taught yoga and dance at San Diego City College.

Over the years she continued to teach Yoga in Avalon, Catalina Island and Temecula, CA, before moving to Pleasant Hill and Indigo Yoga.

Vicki cultivated her meditation and breathing techniques while enjoying her other passion, scuba diving, which has been an integral part of her life. She has continued training in many Yoga styles including Iyengar, Anusara and Freedom Style and is a licensed Holistic Health Practitioner. Vicki uses the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar as the basis for her classes, which emphasizes strength, flexibility, endurance, proper alignment and breathing techniques to help the body achieve its true, balanced state. Vicki’s fluid, relaxed style reflects her background in dance, and is appealing to students of all ages and abilities.

This class is accessible to all kinds of students! This Hatha-based class is appropriate for those who want a softer, nurturing, slow-paced, well-supported, and relaxing practice. Perfect for those who are new to yoga, have physical limitations, or would like to learn the basics of alignment, breathing, and yoga philosophy.
