What Course Participants Are Saying....

"Nikola has a depth of knowledge and sense of ease in communicating complex concepts. Her teaching style is inclusive and invites participation from students to deepen and personalise the learning. I learned a lot from studying Level 1 Yoga Therapy. It has changed the way I teach, the way I practice and deepened my passion for therapeutic application of yoga as opposed to simply asana for exercise. The lessons left me inspired, excited to put the teachings into action, and eager to learn more." Kate Clugston, Yoga Teacher
