Vicky Heuse

Lead Teacher 200 hrs TTC's

Vicky comes from Belgium, she discovered Yoga during one of her travels, in Costa Rica.

This experience has been a “life-changing” event.

She started practicing Yoga and went for her first 200 hrs TTC in Hatha Yoga in December 2014 in Thailand.

Her interest for Yoga made her discover Ashtanga Yoga, she went to India to make her second 200 hrs TTC in Mysore in March 2017.

On her way back to Europe she was offered to teach in Tuscany in a place where they were offering different styles of Yoga.

She started teaching Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga beside her job for two years. It is where she has learned the most from the exchange with students.

She realised how much she was helping people and how this came naturally. To make people feel good, relieved, relaxed or even “being a trigger” of a new awareness for people, gives Virginie the dedication, the commitment into YOGA, not only asana.

She taught together with Yogi Madhav in different 200hrs ttc in Cambodia, where she learns about restorative Yoga and shared her knowledge with plenty of students from all over the world.

She also completed her 50 hrs in Pregnancy Yoga, and learned two different massages, Thai Yoga massage and Deep tissues massage.

Her interest goes to Reiki and meditation and mindfulness as everything is linked or connected.

Vicky believes now that Yoga in its whole and the different holistic practices or healing practices “must be” used together with the occidental medicine to help a broader range of people to recover, to heal, to unblock, to feel, to hear, to know, to trust or to find back the faith in life for those who has lost it somehow.

In 2021 she continued learning and forming herself with a 300hrs ttc in Yoga Therapy and Integrative medicine.

She always looks forward to sharing her knowledge with her students and keeps an open mind to adapt to the student's needs.

Students for whom she feels lots of gratitude.

In 2022, she will be sharing her knowledge with you in our 200 hrs TTC of January, February, March, May, June and November together with Andrea.
