Private Coaching Sessions

In-person in Yamba + Online sessions are available with Nic

I’ve been teaching Yogalates, Hatha Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Yoga Meditation + Breath Therapy for over 20 years. The foundations of my teachings are The Yogalates Method incorporating the Key Fundamental Pelvic Patterns in Yoga Therapy (by Josephine Key - The Key Approach, Neuro-Musculo-Skeletal Physiotherapist). Physiotherapists, Chiropractors, Exercise Physiologists, Body Therapists + GPs have long referred to me because I offer a safe approach to functional movement, effective rehabilitation from joint + spinal injuries, re-training dysfunctional core + pelvic floor (including applying them functionally to Asana Yoga practice, Pilates reformer and matwork).  I specialise in improved breathing efficiency + developing breath awareness as a tool for the profound physical, mental + emotion support it is ultimately the foundation of.

Making the connection of breath + core activation and their direct link to organ function, nervous system regulation, posturo-movement dysfunction and pain is LIFE CHANGING! Perhaps this is so because breath awareness develops a steady mind + a sense of connection thereby providing relief + ease in the body ... I’ll let you be the judge.

I share these teachings in my online studio library, in-person lasses + workshops and private sessions.
