Thriver Spotlight: Vivian Selles

Vivian believes yoga is truly for everyone, regardless of their physical or mental state and strives to provide her students with a safe space with accessibility. Whether you are new to yoga or an advanced practitioner, Vivian’s skillful sequencing and playful demeanor will provide a well-rounded, complete practice.
