Hello my name is Nicolle. I came across the yogic path whilst living in the outskirts of London. I had a typical busy life, with some unkindly habits. I had become unwell, taking different medications and was suffering. Eventually a stand-in doctor at my local surgery suggested I come off all medication, try alternative supplements and find a yoga teacher.
This advice came to change my life. Thank you doctor, whoever you are.
After a few years of practice I decided to delve deeper and started a 4 year yoga teacher training course with Ruth and John White. I am thankful to of had these teachers, as not only was this a strong Iyengar inspired asana practice (which is what I need then), but they also encouraged their students to engage with the meditation and philosophy.I was introduced to the Ishaya monks,and though I no longer meet with the Ishaya’s I am grateful for this gentle, kind introduction to meditation.
My spiritual curiosity was invoked, I was reading The Power of Now by Ekhart Tolle, Patangalis Yoga Sutras (translated by MSI ishaya) and devouring books on Enlightenment and Yoga.
Yoga supported my move to Cornwall.After a few years I attended a retreat in Kerala, India, with Neville Cregan.I then attended many workshops and retreats with Nev, who is based in Totnes, Devon and I thank him greatly for not only his wonderful thai massages but more importantly his gentle flow yoga, which I now weave into my own classes.
In recent years I completed a Thai massage course with Emma Cayless, in Devon. I regularly attend breathwork classes with Anna De Vere, plus further deep breathing workshops with Katie Trenary.
Through the power of online courses I play around with Natural Movement, Fascia Release, alongside strengthening, to meet the challenges of ageing, and support my journey with surfing in my 60’s.
My spiritual journey has led me to retreats both Adyashanti annd Mooji.I now feel I have found a long term teacher in Unmani Hyde.
Yoga has changed my life, it’s shifted how I view the world, and it all started on the mat. And although I sometimes feel like heading off in a different direction, I come back to yoga.
It’s all in that 1st Yoga Sutra, NOW the teaching of yoga (union).
I share this, not only for you to know my background, but to honour the guidance I have received with these wonderful teachers.
The ultimate teacher being life itself.
Blessings, Nicolle.

“Love Life – Love your Body”
I work with breathwork-rebirthing; I find that these deep breathwork sessions can be a good help to release some tension and stress from the mind, feelings, and body. I continue to work with breathing exercises myself in my life. I qualified at Sissel Tvedte’s school in Norway and have worked with breathwork for over 15 years. Sessions can be individual or in a group.
I also do massage- Swedish and Deep Tissue. I work as a Staff Nurse. I think it can be a useful combination with the benefits of both modern medicine and natural medicine.
It feels like we’re living in rapidly changing, challenging, tough, exciting times. Perhaps you are working with self-development, or would like to relax with breathwork or a good massage treatment. Please get in touch.
I was introduced to Yoga & Meditation as a teenager in the 1970s and have been teaching since 2014. While I love the sense of strength, openness, and resilience, that a strong physical practice can offer, I’m increasingly astonished by the transformative power of more gentle and subtle approaches to bodywork, allowing a more intimate sensing of the body, the breath, and emotions and bringing an ease of being into the world. My classes draw on the influences of a range of body-mind practices – some thousands of years old, some contemporary – including Hatha Yoga, Yin-Restorative Yoga, Somatics, Feldenkrais & Yoga Nidra. I love to teach people of all ages and levels of experience in a way that encourages a deep inner listening with a sense of ease, pleasure and fun. Someone said to me once, Yoga is too sacred to be taken over seriously! – I am certified with the British Wheel of Yoga and iRest Yoga Nidra & am currently training in the Feldenkrais Method.
