I will cherish them forever." Meg O "I’ve had the most beautiful pleasure of having Nick for the last couple of months, the feedback from everyone who attends his classes is amazing . We all stand outside before his class celebrating the human he is and his teachings. Tonight was his last class for a while, and what a way to end January, thank you Nick I was telling some newbies how great his class is tonight and as I was leaving I heard one of the ladies saying how beautiful his teaching was and how much she loved the end with one of his readings. I smiled because we all do." Kelly A "Just thank u! It was one of the best experiences I've done in my life" Steff “Thankyou so much for all the time and effort you've gave us over the last 2 weeks! Going to miss all your jokes and one liners!" Charlotte “Thankyou so much! For all the support, the dance moves, funny stories and calm moments. You radiate such an open and loving energy." Lysander “Nicks yoga classes are fantastic. He provided such a calming and welcoming environment for all abilities. From the start to the end of the class it all felt so calm and relaxing. Nick has such a calm voice that helped everyone relax and feel comfortable during the class he was very informative about the moves and guided us through the practice." Anna R “Nick’s presence alone would make any student feel safe & at ease. He cultivates a compassionate, non-judgemental space for his students regardless of level. His personality shines through his teaching practice, with sprinkles of humour which makes his classes feel light hearted. He is so much more than just a yoga teacher, offering knowledge, inspiration & words of wisdom which we can apply to life, both on & off the mat" Maria O “Nick is a skilled & intuitive bodyworker & yoga guide, plus an all-around delightful person to spend time with! His sensitivity & patience created a feeling of safety & ease for me in both a bodywork session & dynamic yoga flow. It's a gift to be in the presence of a teacher who can both poetically & confidently speak, & also be completely comfortable in the necessary moments of silence. Nick can do both. His personal commitment to the yoga practice is evident in his capable teaching & healing work" Carrie H
