TESTIMONIALS
"I have genuinely loved every second of this course. Nicole isn't just a knowledgeable, experienced yogi, she is also a patient and fun teacher. The syllabus is comprehensive but easily digested and the hands-on, practical parts of the course are a brilliant way to break down the asanas and check in on your alignment to practice safely. Nicole's classes are beautiful and I experienced several really deep mediation states which is usually difficult for me with a new teacher.
Sitting on my mat with the sunlight filtering through the trees outside, surrounded by ancient texts, herbal tea, yoga blocks and the most wonderful bunch of people, has been transformative. I feel like a different person than I did last year - calmer, more focused, comfortable in my own skin. When I started the course I thought I just wanted to learn more about yoga, but now I feel it is my duty to share it with others too! I will definitely be coming back for level 2 in November." Jo Hickman 2019 Graduate
"Nicole is an amazing yoga teacher with vast personal experience and knowledge that flows through in every workshop of her Yoga Teacher Training course. Her compassion, patience and easy going nature makes learning both enjoyable and rewarding. The course content is a good mix of theory and practice. Nicole's Teacher Training course has given me a whole new perspective on and understanding of the true meaning of yoga ". Leanne Hudson 2018 Graduate
“I am so grateful that I have enrolled in the Yoga Teacher Training with Nicole. Nicole not only provides a wonderful learning environment, but also lives what she teaches, providing us with the perfect role model. In the classes, Nicole fosters a safe and sacred space for each of us to grow and learn on many levels. This course is deepening my practice in the most beautiful ways. And it is only through doing the course that I am beginning to get the tiniest glimpse of the vastness of all that Yoga has to offer. Thank you Nicole, Namaste. " Lauren Tarrant 2018 Graduate
"This has been an unbelievable way to learn about yourself & the essence of yoga. I highly recommend the My Yoga Teacher Training program both from the perspective of discovering what it would be like to take the next step to teach yoga, and also how insightful this course is in revealing all parts of who you are. Nicole is so knowledgeable & an amazing teacher at guiding you through this journey. The teacher student relationship is so very important and Nicole passes this knowledge down to all her students including her own experiences. I have learnt so much through this year & realise that yoga is more than just its poses, it is now a new way of life I take with me everyday. I have also made wonderful friends, and I know we have been all brought together at this time for a reason. I am sure you too will make wonderful friends during every teacher training school. There is just no hiding on your mat and this course will guide you on what your own journey looks like." Christine Harding 2018 Graduate
“I had the opportunity of doing this teacher training course with Nicole in 2018. This amazing experience has allowed me to grow so much. Firstly, it has deepened my own personal practice. Secondly, I gained valuable information on the background and history of yoga and what it means to fully engage in the practice. I laughed, cried, and came to know myself so much better utilizing the time on the mat, the study and the discussion with Nicole and my fellow seekers of knowledge. Nicole is a kind and gentle teacher who carefully and with great expertise takes you on the journey with her. She has great knowledge but has always maintained passion and compassion along the path. If you have decided to embark on the course, I wish you all the best and know you will find it challenging, inspirational and fulfilling.” Eleanor Barlow 2018 Graduate
“This teacher training course was high quality all the way! Nicole is a unique teacher with many years of experience which shows through her varied practices and excellent curriculum. I always felt engaged and challenged during my teacher training with plenty of hands on opportunities to deepen my own practice. Nicole’s understanding of quality queues during a class yoga sequence was probably a highlight for me. I am looking forward to my own teaching journey and I am forever grateful to Nicole for her gentle, nurturing and knowledgeable approach during this course.” Renee Truswell 2018. Graduate
