About Us
We are a husband and wife team who feel incredibly lucky to work together doing what we both love.
Viggo is a meditator and has a lifelong passion for the mysteries of the mind. Vivian is a yoga teacher with shamanic tendencies, a storyteller, a body worker, a lover of movement.
Viggo came to where he is today through the path of being a monk, living in monasteries across Nepal, India and France.
Vivian’s journey took her from the corporate media industry and the rave clubs of London to living an expression she never dreamed of having.
How did we meet?! That’s a story for another time….. :)))
Our paths were wildly different, but our unique experiences inform and fuel our practice and our teaching. Both of us reach towards Spirit: Vivian through the gateway of the body, and Viggo through the gateway of the mind.
With these complimentary passions, we believe that we bring the balance of Yin and Yang, Shiva and Shakti to our teachings, giving an overall understanding for the full system of yoga.
Quotes that say something about us….
