Yoga & Meditation Classes
Hi there, thanks for checking out my class schedule.
I'm based near Wollombi and Cessnock in The Hunter Valley, a couple of hours north of Sydney.
I teach Yoga and Meditation classes online and in person. I've been teaching for 25yrs in Sydney, London UK, Europe and The Hunter Valley. I like to keep my classes playful but mindful, with a particular focus on releasing stress, building strength and flexibility, and bringing balance to our often busy minds or wired / tired bodies. I lightly weave in the teachings of yoga philosophy, Mantra and chakra sounds, along with pranayama, breath work, meditation and yoga nidra, deep relaxation.
My aim is to support you to:
Build strength & develop flexibility in body and mind
Find a place where you can feel calm and relaxed inside
Develop focus and improve posture
Release areas of tension and breathe in a way that is nourishing for you
Cultivate a feeling of connection with nature, our ancestry and embodiment practices
Honour a deeper understanding and relationship with the art of this sacred practice
There are 2 x weekly classes. One in person Hunter Valley class (near Millfield) and one live online class (recording included to revisit at any time). Both classes run for 75mins.

WHAT TO HAVE READY FOR CLASSES:
A yoga mat or suitable (non-slip) support beneath you. If you have any of the following then feel free to have them ready as they might be useful to adapt certain postures, add cushioning and offer support.
Props: blocks if you have them, perhaps cushions if you don’t have a bolster, a yoga belt or tie and a couple of firm blankets and eye pillow – you can also simply use a mat, props don’t have to be used, it depends on the individual. You're welcome to contact me and reach out if you're not sure.
Do let me know if you have any previous or current injuries, health, conditions or are pregnant or post-natal so that I can assess whether the class will be suitable and also suggest any alternatives for you if needed. Try to avoid eating anything heavy an hour or 2 beforehand.
For online classes, check you've received the link emailed to you and have your computer set up so that I can see your practice, if you wish to have your camera on - this is best if you'd like me to adjust or feedback on your practice.
Feel free to contact me with any questions.

What people say
"Thanks for re-igniting my yoga spark"
“I came to Nicky’s class after a long sabbatical from yoga. I had previously practised Ashtanga, Synergy, and other dynamic styles.
Nicky was a great teacher; patient, knowledgeable, calm, with an ability to direct the class to all levels and all with no ego.
We are sad to be losing her from Coogee, you lucky yoga folk. Thanks for re-igniting my yoga spark”
Lizzie Milligan – NSW
"She makes everyone feel welcome and comfortable, always considerate of her students"
Over a few months, her classes have grown so popular that it’s sometimes difficult to find a spot!
Nicky is a very talented practitioner as well as teacher. She is able to work with many students different levels while keeping the practice challenging for all.
I’ve been practising yoga for more than ten years and for the first time thanks to her ability I wasn’t bored in open classes. Her style is dynamic, yet respectful of all students needs. She makes everyone feel welcome and comfortable, always considerate of her students.
I’ve taken yoga classes at a number of places with many different instructors and Nicky is with no doubt one of the most gifted I ever had.

"It is difficult to find a yoga teacher of Nicky's calibre"
"Ironically in this day and age of having an abundance of yoga teachers out there, it is difficult to find a yoga teacher of Nicky's calibre.
Apart from her wonderful energy, she comes with years of practice and a deep understanding of yoga, which allows her to adapt her class spontaneously to the students in her class.
The yoga community wherever she goes are very lucky to have her.”
