“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."

“ 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.
