"Nikki is simply the best yoga teacher I ever met. Her classes are always different, you never know what will come next and this keeps you alert. She takes time for each student and is dedicated to correct the postures and to work on each students individual weaknesses. Even being 50+ it is amazing that my body still changed so much for the better. I feel balanced, firm and happy"

How you will benefit
– Strength training and flexibility
Yoga’s focus on strength training and flexibility is an incredible benefit to your body. The postures are meant to strengthen your body from the inside-out, so you don’t just look good, you feel good too.
– Peace and tranquility
Achieved through focused training, setting intentions and clearly directing your energy towards what you want.
– Stronger core
Each of the yoga poses is built to reinforce the muscles around the spine, the very center of your body, which is the core from which everything else operates. When the core is working properly, posture is improved, thus alleviating back, shoulder and neck pain.
– Relieves stress
Yoga helps relieve stress, unclutter the mind and helps you get more focused.
– Helps to prevent degenerative arthritis
Each time you practice yoga, you take your joints through their full range of motion. This can help prevent degenerative arthritis or mitigate disability by “squeezing and soaking” areas of cartilage that normally aren’t used.
– Long, lean muscles
One of the benefits of yoga is that stretching and holding of postures also causes muscles to lengthen, which gives the body a longer, leaner look.
– Arm and shoulder strength
Your arm and shoulder strength is multiplied as you use your own body weight for resistance.
– Improves digestive system
The digestive system gets back on track when the stretching in yoga is coupled with a healthy, organic diet, which can relieve constipation, irritable bowl syndrome (IBS) and acid reflux.
– Balance the mood, hormones and nervous system
This is done by shifting out of the adrenal stress response of the sympathetic nervous system into a calmer rest and digest state of the parasympathetic nervous system.
– Self confidence
Realise that you are capable of so much more than you think, as you learn to shifting beyond fears and limiting self talk and moving towards your most powerful self inside and out.
– Live with more presence
For the most important people, moments and things in your life.
I am lucky to have Nikki one on one. I look forward to our Yoga time so much and so excited about how much I am improving. I just keep asking myself why I didn’t do this years ago. Nikki is “magic”. I feel like I have a new body after Nikki’s classes. It has made me feel able to cope with a busy lifestyle so much better physically and mentally. Thank you Nikki!
