I graduated as a Medical Doctor in 2003, from Imperial College, London, UK. I have been caring for patients and treating physical and mental health conditions ever since.

I took up Yoga in 2013 when my mother encouraged me to attend a class with her. I was hooked from that very first class.

Initially, I enjoyed the challenge of trying something new and exciting. After just a few months, I noticed the positive effects that Yoga was having on both my Physical Health and Mental Wellbeing.

I have continued to practice ever since. I want to share this experience with others, so that they too can benefit from a regular Yoga practice.

I qualified as a Yoga Teacher in 2017.

Testimonials

  • “The lock down came and I was isolating with my 93 year old mum - in a flat with no garden. The classes  were a life saver - both physically and mentally. Velgia provided excellent coaching via zoom where she corrected and encouraged you - it felt as if she was there. I hadn't done yoga before and although quite fit, I wasn't flexible and my mind needed some positive focus. Now, after 3 yrs, I am in a better place physically and mentally. This is down to Velgia's classes. I thank her for this. ”

  • "Yoga has really helped me develop my strength, flexibility and balance.  I love how the poses can be adapted to whatever your body can do or needs to do in the session.  It doesn’t matter what shape, size, age or fitness you have when you start - everyone can take part and benefit.  But more importantly it enabled me to find some peace and grounding in what had been a stressful period with the pandemic."

  • I suffer from scoliosis.  initially, I couldn’t sit down as my hips couldn’t open & when I walked, I tended to lean forward. With guidance from my yoga instructor, amazing changes in my posture. I  can actually sit on the floor  which I couldn’t before. Friends have commented on how my posture has improved”

    Thana

  • "Welcome to Yoga. I am 75 years old. When I restarted Yoga with Velgia as my teacher 3 years ago, I could not sustain asana poses as 'downward dog'  let alone do 'shoulder stand '. I am able to redo them and enjoy doing them. Continuous practice makes things perfect. Yoga in my opinion revives your body, mind and intellect. You face the world with keen sense of awareness and sharpness. You are more calm and see the world outside yourself inside in a more balanced perspective.Therefore my best wishes on-your new venture into Yoga"

  • "Velgia's yoga session always leaves me feeling refreshed and ready for the day. The exercises have definitely improved my strength and flexibility all over, but especially my arms and wrists. I have suffered from carpel tunnel in the past so initially I had difficulty support myself on my hands/wrist, although still not perfect, it is vastly improved. All students ailments are taken into consideration and exercises adjusted accordingly.

  • You are never too old to give yoga a try. The benefit of online yoga is that Students can join from anywhere in the world. My daughter joins from South Africa. Also, the Thursday morning classes make me vacuum the floor on Wednesday evening otherwise I am seeing all the bits on the carpet as I lie there. Not sure if this is a bonus!"
