Meet Victoria
Victoria Larkins is a Vedic Meditation teacher and founder of Nowphoria, known for her work at the intersection of ancient yogic knowledge, consciousness studies, and modern neuroscience. She specializes in helping individuals shift from thought-based living into presence—cultivating the state of awareness beneath the mind where clarity, creativity, coherence, and aligned action naturally arise.
Her work integrates the full spectrum of the yogic tradition with an understanding of the nervous system to offer a grounded, accessible pathway to evolutionary living.
Background
Victoria has spent over a decade studying the full spectrum of the yogic system, including Vedic Meditation, breathwork, and multiple lineages—Kriya, Vinyasa, Hatha, Naad, Yoga Nidra, Restorative, and Yin. She apprenticed with her teacher for ten years, traveling regularly to India throughout her twenties to study the mechanics of transcendence, the cultivation of Being, and the progression of higher states of consciousness. During her apprenticeship, she transcribed the Vedas and the Siddhis, ancient sound-based technologies that map the structure of the mind and the mechanics of human potential. These texts are the oldest and most foundational teachings of the yogic system and inform her scientific approach to understanding of the unchanging truth that underlies all of reality.
Her academic training in somatic psychology and neuroscience at Naropa University deepened her understanding of how consciousness, physiology, behavior, and stored experience interact. Her work centers on the somatic premise that when the nervous system returns to the baseline of Being, the system finally has the safety and capacity to unwind unresolved cycles—allowing healing, creativity, and coherence to emerge naturally. This is also where new neural pathways and scaffolds can form, giving the mind the structure it needs to stabilize expanded awareness and translate it into lasting change.
In 2023, Victoria founded Nowphoria in Venice, California—a space dedicated to cultivating presence as the foundation for transformation. Nowphoria bridges meditation and action, integrating wave science, neuroscience, and yogic knowledge to cultivate nervous system stability as the ground for creativity, purpose, and conscious living. The platform offers Vedic Meditation courses, retreats, weekly group meditations, and an online membership for stabilizing presence that translates into evolutionary action.
You can also meditate locally with Victoria Friday mornings at the Open Studio in Venice, CA. Across all of her work, she offers a clear and grounded path into the only place transformation is possible: the now.
“Our hearts are always guiding the way. Sometimes we find ourselves in the flow of expansion, aligned with our truth. And, sometimes the noise is too loud to hear the clarity of love’s direction. It’s human to forget. It’s also entirely possible to come back, again and again. This is the heart’s dance. We are meant to oscillate inward and out.”
