“Velvet’s Yoga classes have removed tight muscles that have caused me injuries in my work and headaches during the day.

I have done many yoga classes over the years, many have been exercises that have worked at a whole body level but they have not resolved specific problems that kept leading me to hurting myself. In the one on one sessions, Velvet gets specific information and then designs stretching and strengthening exercises that target the areas that were leading to me straining my back, knees and neck.

I know Velvet’s approach to exercise through yoga works because I haven’t been to a physiotherapist or acupuncturist in 5 years.

Velvet has a knack for holding space attentively. Her ability to provide information and tune in before our session was valuable in helping me sense what the theme should be. From there I felt honoured down to the finest detail: the playlist, the altar, the commentary/invitations. The session itself was incredibly releasing, safe and somehow peaceful. Movement is such a powerful modality, and Velvet embodies generosity in how she facilitates.

Velvet came to my home last year and gave my 14 year old daughter 1-on-1 weekly meditation and yoga sessions.

The sessions were invaluable for my daughter. She loved catching up with Velvet on a weekly basis. She felt comfortable being with Velvet, and found her very easy to communicate with and enjoyed the variety of the class.

My daughter suffered from anxiety at the time and Velvet gave her breathing exercises to do which were very helpful. Velvet was always very encouraging and supportive.

During the sessions I listened to Velvet explaining the breathwork and yoga techniques to my daughter. I was very impressed with Velvet’s variety of knowledge on many topics.

I totally recommend Velvet. I wish her luck in future endeavours and know she will do well.
