Vikki Hibberd began her personal health journey in 1967, taking yoga lessons from the book, The Complete Illustrated Book of Yoga. At that particular time, yoga was frowned upon and there were very few classes for teacher training. In 1976, an Ashram in Sumneytown, Pennsylvania had formal yoga classes taught by Yogi Amrit Desai at the Kripalu Yoga Center. She spent the next two summers in six-week training sessions to become a yoga teacher of Kripalu Yoga, becoming one of the first graduating classes in the United States. Over the next thirty years living in Florida and Arizona, her teaching expanded to recreational centers, juvenile halls, senior centers, churches, spas, fitness centers, and private workshops. Hibberd is proficient in dosha analysis, disease pathology, herbal remedies, and five-sense therapy, has a successful practice, and conducts Ayurvedic workshops. She currently lives in Peoria, Illinois
