Meet your instructor, Victoria
I am Victoria Hawkins and I will be your guide through this yoga teacher training / yoga life coach certification. I have my Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work, which I received in 1997 and I’ve been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2001. I am a Certified Hatha Yoga Instructor since 2008. I now hold the distinction of being an experienced, registered yoga instructor through Yoga Alliance and I have even created my own 200-hour Hatha Yoga teacher training program. I also hold certifications and trainings in Radiant Child Yoga, Shaman Informed Yoga and Yoga for Traumatic Brain Injury. I have been working in mental health and life guidance since 1997. I discovered yoga in 1999 looking to stay flexible and I fell in love with how it began to ease my mind and bring more balance to my life. I began studying the practices of yoga poses, meditation, breath work and mantras. I soon began sharing these concepts with my clients as I saw the value of living a lifestyle of yoga.

You are interested in yoga teacher training.
