Meet your instructor: Nikkie
Nikkie has been practicing yoga for over 25 years. She qualified in Integrated Yoga in 2005 and has been teaching ever since, offering classes for adults, children and babies across Devon. Nikkie’s teaching is creative and playful, focusing on the relationship between teacher and student. Her aim is always to share joy in the simplicity of moving the body freely and feeling the breath and she believes that anyone can do yoga and benefit from it. Having been teaching a long time, she feels that the most important aspect of her teaching is in ensuring that she always remains a student, always learning.
As a qualified secondary teacher and tutor, she is particularly passionate about working with young adults and currently teaches yoga and mindfulness to students and staff at Exeter College. As a creative writing teacher, she also incorporates journaling and writing into her workshops. Nikkie teaches yoga trapeze and has qualified with Shiva Rea to teach prana flow yoga, which integrates yoga and free form dance. She has also completed the Michael Stone certificate in teaching meditation with YogaCampus and Yoga Alliance. She values the deep transformative effect of meditation and its ability to create steadiness in the face of life’s challenges. Nikkie is also a trained baby sleep consultant and offers this as a bespoke, individual service, as well as running regular sleep clinics.
