each breath is a gift
My name's Nickie and I live in Liddington with my partner and our 2 young daughters.
I’ve been practising Yoga and Pilates for 27 years now and teaching for 17 years. I feel so lucky to be able to share my passion and help restore some much needed calm, peace and wellbeing into people's lives.
Throughout my twenties I took several trips around the world with my yoga mat strapped to my backpack.
On a journey to India in 2005 I studied yoga in ashrams, and meditation on silent retreats, and later In Bankok, I trained as a traditional Wat Po Thai Massage practitioner in 2007. Back home in the UK I became a Reiki practitioner (2010) and a Shiatsu Bodywork practitioner (2015).
Blending my skills, I'm able to bring Thai massage & Shiatsu into my classes, giving effective hands-on adjustments. The style of yoga I teach is fluid and watery, but strong and grounding. We flow through creative sequences lead by the breath, and end with some breathwork, a deep relaxation, and if time, a mini meditation.
~ "Nickie's Yoga classes are an exceptional mix of flowing strong Yoga and spiritual peace, should you wish to tap into it. A combination often attempted but not achieved." Steve Findlay-Wilson
~ "Nickie’s teaching always comes with a smile - she has a way of encouraging beginners and challenging the more experienced when necessary.” Graeme Goodwin
~ "Nickie's online classes are brilliant. Truly holistic; the perfect balance of physical - for strength & flexibility, and emotional - for relaxation. I love the health and wellbeing information she shares in classes too. I feel stronger and more flexible since joining her yoga classes, and my core strength has definitely benefitted from weekly online pilates too. I didn't think online classes would work for me at all, but Nickie's instruction is so clear, I miss nothing from the classes being online, and actually benefit - because the recordings ensure I never miss a class. Nickie is a fanastic yoga & pilates teacher and I can't recommend her highly enough." Sarah Fletcher
