Nikki Nicholas has been a yoga practitioner for 25 years and teacher for 10. With a grounding in personal training and Pilates, Nikki offers a practice for strength and function. Like her original training in Hatha, her classes offer a balanced approach, as she believes that the mat is not a place to struggle and strain (the world will give you that any time) but a place for ‘sukha’, or ‘bliss’. In the words of Scaravelli, “yoga should be an agreeable appointment with your body.”
Why not join in with Nikki’s upcoming hatha yoga class at Anahata Yoga Centre, Leigh-on-Sea? Her class runs on Thursdays, 10.45am-12:00pm, from the first week of September 2019. Book using the MindBody app or the timetable on our website. It’s available to members as part of your class pass, and through community membership (learn about both here!). Not a member of Anahata? You can join this class as a drop in (email anahata.leighonsea@gmail.com).
