With over 7 years experience teaching Yoga, Nicole has completed over 450hrs of training in different styles including: Vinyasa, Rocket, Yin, Hot Yoga, Ashtanga and Restorative. More recently, Nicole has trained in reformer Pilates to expand her knowledge and offerings. Throughout my dance career yoga has supported me both physically and mentally and sparked a huge desire to delve further into what I can offer others through this practice. I was drawn to yoga through the asana but it’s the spiritual and mental shifts that have kept me here. Over the last 13 years my practice has shifted and evolved, changing with the ebbs and flows of my life. It teaches me to: accept and not resist, to listen and move intuitively, to pause before reacting and generally live with more awareness. It’s a life long practice and I’m here for it; the good, the bad, the darkness and the light. All the juicy layers of being human.

Description

In this class we work through all of the sun salutations and standing poses, with a few extra balancing poses, following this we move between seated postures and strength building postures for the spine from 2nd series. The inversions and Savasana at the end of practice allow for stillness of body and calmness of mind. Students are guided by the teacher and encouraged to use self expression and modifications as desired.This is a dynamic and energising practice and perfect for releasing the tension of the day.
