Vicki Durst

Vicki Durst has been teaching Hatha Yoga since 1974.

A graduate of San Diego State University with a BA in Physical Education, Dance and Art History, Vicki first studied Yoga at the University of Oregon while earning a Master’s Degree in Dance and Art History. In San Diego she trained and taught at the Yoga Institute and taught yoga and dance at San Diego City College. In Astoria Oregon, Vicki was a full-time Instructor at Clatsop Community College, where she served as the Director of Dance and Physical Education and was Coordinator of the Arts on Stage performing and visual arts program for 23 years. Over the years she continued to teach Yoga in Avalon, Catalina Island and Temecula, CA, before moving to Pleasant Hill and Indigo Yoga.

Vicki cultivated her meditation and breathing techniques while enjoying her other passion, scuba diving, which has been an integral part of her life. She has continued training in many Yoga styles including Iyengar, Anusara and Freedom Style and is a licensed Holistic Health Practitioner. Vicki uses the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar as the basis for her classes, which emphasizes strength, flexibility, endurance, proper alignment and breathing techniques to help the body achieve its true, balanced state. Vicki’s fluid, relaxed style reflects her background in dance, and is appealing to students of all ages and abilities.

This is a nourishing class that uses gentle poses, deep breathing, and longer holds to prepare for TRE® and a long, integrative savasana.  
 
Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (or TRE®) is a simple yet innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. TRE safely activates a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this muscular shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance.

All levels.  No experience necessary.
