Hi, I'm VictoriAnn.
I have been practicing yoga for more than 25 years and teaching for 16. These days I teach a gentle, seated practice I created, because I believe everybody deserves a way in.
More about my path, programs and life in Colombia: More about me
Yoga for people the studios were not reaching.
I became certified in 2010. I started YogaMobileStudio to bring yoga to people who couldn't get to traditional studios.
Along the way I trained in breathing, meditation and health coaching. But chair yoga captured my heart because of its accessibility.
So I took it one step further and created Rehabilitation Choga, my chair yoga practice, done entirely seated, with mindful breathing and dreamlike meditation. It is a gentle practice for people with limited mobility, and for anyone who simply prefers to practice sitting down.
A practice built over a lifetime.
This is not a hobby. It is my life's work.

Named #1 Yoga Studio in Fairfield, CT
Fairfield Living Magazine named my studio #1 in Fairfield, Connecticut, based entirely on votes and reviews from my own clients.
I wrote it for the days that are hard.
Choga: Rehabilitation Chair Yoga for Recovery from Surgery, Illness, and Life's Hardest Seasons brings the practice I created into a book you can keep beside your favorite chair.
Inside is a seated practice, simple breathing techniques, and a voice in your corner reminding you to be kind to yourself.
