About Yoga with Nickie
I was lucky enough to discover Yoga at a fairly young age, so have been practicing it almost all of my adult life and teaching for nearly 20 years.
I trained with the traditional School of Sivananda Yoga and hold deep respect for the roots and lineage of yoga. My own unique style incorporates strong but graceful movements, and creative flowing sequences with the breath as the guide and anchor.
Before I trained as a Yoga teacher I went to Thailand to learn Thai massage (often called 'Lazy man's Yoga') from the source - Wat Po in Bangkok. As well as giving Thai Massage treatments (on Tuesdays & Thursdays) it enables me to offer effective and nurturing hands-on adjustments in my classes.
My trainings in Stott Pilates® 18 years ago, and in Somatics more recently have allowed me not only to expand my knowledge of the physical body, movement and posture, but given me a deeper awareness and appreciation of the mind-body-spirit connection which is at the heart of my work.
Despite having a degree in French and Spanish I was not destined to be a linguist! These are the more relevant trainings I have completed since university and the travelling days of my twenties:
~ Reiki 1, Dharamasala, India 2005
~ Sivananda Yoga Instructor, Sivananda Ashram, Austria 2007
~ Wat Po traditional Thai Massage, Bangkok, Thailand 2007
~ Stott Pilates Instructor, Kidlington, Oxford 2008
~ Reiki 2, Swindon 2009
~ Shiatsu Foundation, Wiltshire 2014
~ Shiatsu level 1 & 2, Wiltshire 2015
~ Advanced Anatomy & Physiology, Devizes 2023
~ Somatics & Yoga Module 1, Devizes 2024
~ Somatics & Yoga Module 2, Devizes 2025
Thank you for reading and I look forward to sharing my practice with you soon
