Victoria Herholdt

Victoria is an experienced yoga instructor with a diverse repertoire, including Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin, Restorative, and more. Born in Cape Town, she was a childhood dancer, and from this stems a passion for rhythmic movement and creative expression. She completed her first YTT in 2017, which immediately led to a transformative career shift from workplace designer in London to a barefoot lifestyle in Sri Lanka, where she has lived ever since.

To date, she has accumulated nearly 1,500 teaching hours on surf and yoga retreats, public classes, and with private clients. In 2021, while working with a team of Ayurvedic doctors at a world-renowned Ayurvedic sanctuary, she was inspired to study yoga therapy and completed a further 300-hour YTT to specialise in this field. As a result, she places a strong emphasis on safe alignment, empowering her students to cultivate a balanced, mindful practice.

When she’s not guiding yoga, you can find her surfing small waves or creating art commissions in her home studio. She often returns to Cape Town, where she enjoys running or going for scenic hikes. Victoria is also a SUP and SUP yoga instructor and a Reiki master.
