About VICKY
As a senior practitioner and teacher to the teachers, I believe deeply that yoga is a personal space of exploration into the infinite opportunities made available to us each.
My focus is on channeling knowledge and insight that enables others to set off on a journey of discovery, recovery, and renewal. Yoga creates us from the inside, building the best versions of who we can be.
​
My personal path led me to unify diverse therapeutic modalities, integrating science into the traditional yoga practice by grounding it in kinesiology and anatomy. This forges an empowering framework for teachers, where we can reconnect with the authentic core of yoga and find refuge in our own self-practice.
A lengthy rehabilitation process has also given me profound insight into the gift of healing. By unleashing the power of the body’s consciousness through yoga, we can all regenerate and restore our well being, the ultimate natural state.
This is the light of yoga, transcending time and space through a chain of teachers to reach us today so that we can truly engage our own students and spark their flame.
More Than Meets the Eye
YOUR RETREAT
Laikipia
In the central highlands of Kenya, stretching from Mount Kenya in the east to the Rift Valley in the west is a 2.1 million acres of semi-arid grassland and bush savanna, known as the Laikipia Plateau.
​
This region serves as a portal to Kenya’s remote and wild Northern Frontier and is a patchwork of cattle ranches, conservancies and tribal lands that have been amalgamated under the umbrella of eco-tourism.
​
Ranchers and pastoralists encourage the practical co-existence of people, livestock and wildlife. The desire to truly understand the inhabitants of this natural environment is illustrated in the large number of research and community conservation projects within the area.
​
Straddling the Equator at altitudes of between 5,000 and 8,000 feet, this secluded region attracts considerable animal numbers and is home to the highest number of endangered species in East Africa.
Half of the population of black rhino, Kenya’s second largest elephant population, the fastest growing wild dog populations on the continent and the globally threatened Grevy’s zebra have all found their home in Laikipia. Not to mention a diverse and spectacular array of bird-life.
Ol Pejeta Conservancy
The Ol Pejeta Conservancy is a mosaic of grass plains, wooded grassland, Acacia woodland and evergreen thicket extending over 350 square kilometer. The Ol Pejeta Conservancy, East Africa’s Largest Black Rhino Sanctuary, is situated at the foot hills of the Aberdares and the magnificent snow-capped Mount Kenya. Ol Pejeta boasts an astounding variety of animals including the Big Five (the endangered black and white rhino, leopard, elephant, buffalo & lion). The combination of amazing wildlife and stunning views across the open plains guarantees an unforgettable safari experience.
​
SWEETWATERS SAFARI CAMP

Behind the scenes conservation
When you come for a safari at Ol Pejeta, you’re not just visiting – you are leaving a lasting legacy. This isn’t passive conservation, this is get-your-hands-dirty, on the ground conservation.
​
Help preserve the future of big cats by tracking lions with our rangers, or see if you’ve got what it takes to be a rhino bodyguard.
​
Follow paw prints through the bush on foot for the most enthralling safari of your lifetime, or get an all-access pass to the wilderness after dark.
​
*These extra activities are at an extra charge and can be booked directly at the camp on arrival.
