“25 years of teaching yoga and studying Ayurveda have taught me one thing:
Effortless Being is not something you find. It's something you remember, by going inside.”
"I help people who struggle with feeling stressed, disconnected from their bodies, or filled with a sense of unease to experience more effortless being, greater awareness, and ease through movement, breath, and stillness."

Daily yoga, breath, and meditation. Yours, together or on your own time.
Courses
Deepen your understanding of breath and strength, taught the way I wish I'd learned them.
Journeys
A week away, fully held, fully alive, deeply immersed. International, and domestic
For Organizations
Bring resilience, focus, and ease to your team. Custom proposals.
“ I walked into Vivica's vinyasa flow yoga class about 8 years ago and knew I had struck gold. She is a true master teacher: authentic, well established in her own practice and passionate about the teachings and lineage which she is part of”— Long-time student
“ Her practice is as much spiritual as it is physical movement of postures. Her voice is calm and her alignment instructions clear. I feel held, nourished and healed just by being in her presence. — Tom H. ,CA
THE PHILOSOPHY
A practice rooted in 25 years
I came to yoga in 1998, in the middle of a demanding career in New York City. What started as a single class became a complete shift in how I understood my body, my breath, and my mind.
I trained under the founders of YogaWorks in 2002, and have spent every year since teaching, studying, and refining what I now bring to every class, course, and retreat: the understanding that ease is available to all of us — we simply have to remember how to access it.
In 2015, I completed my Ayurveda Wellness Counselor training, adding yoga's sister science to my offerings — because the body doesn't separate movement from food, sleep, or rhythm, and neither do I.
