Nicola Pauwels

Yoga was a natural extension for Nicola’s (Nikki’s) interest in all things mind/body upon completing her Registered Massage Therapy training at The D’arcy Lane Institute in 1998, as well as completing advanced training in Thai Yoga Massage. In 1999, shortly after her first son was born she began studying the Iyengar method of yoga. Since 2006, upon her introduction to Anusara yoga, Nikki completed hundreds of hours of Anusara training with various Anusara yoga teachers including John Friend, Martin Kirk, Todd Norian and Ann Green. She incorporates precise technical guidance into her hatha classes to ensure safe and therapeutic movement, coupled with a quirky sense of humour! In 2009 Nikki completed Swami Nityamuktananda’s 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training. Nikki completed a further 200 hour yoga teacher training with Todd Norian and Ann Green and is also a Certified Ashaya Yoga Teacher. In 2018 Nikki completed a comprehensive Kundalini yoga teacher training in Toronto with Sat Dharam Kaur and is registered with the IKYTA as a Kundalini Yoga Teacher as taught by Yogi Bhajan. Nikki’s classes are as dynamic as she is and she loves to share her passion for yoga.
