Emily Nicola

Emily initially came to yoga many years ago to recover from chronic pain and sports injuries. Always an active person, she fell in love with yoga not only for the physical benefits but also for its ability to heal and transform. She loves how yoga has enabled her to gain a deeper connection and respect for her body and mind and helped her move past the resistances that life has thrown up.

She also loves the community that yoga builds. It provides her with a sense of belonging and support she hasn’t found in quite the same way anywhere else.

Emily is also an avid traveller and loves to explore new places and foods. She loves the outdoors and can often be found taking a walk with her kelpie Druss or simply reading a good book in the sun.

Emily completed her initial 200-hour teacher training at Body Mind Life in Sydney.

She has completed an additional 250 hours including:

• Advanced Teaching Skills
• Philosophy & Theming
• Adjustments & Assisting
• Yin training with Sarah Owen
• Vinyasa Liquid Flow training with Simon Park

Emily is about to embark on the 500-hour Yoga Medicine training with Tiffany Cruikshank.

Emily loves being able to share her learnings and passion for this practice with others. Her classes bring an alignment focus to the flow, encouraging students to strengthen their practice, open their bodies without injury, and to see how yoga can benefit them both on the mat and in their daily lives. For newer or more experienced students alike, she works to make classes both accessible and challenging and aims for everyone to leave feeling nurtured, restored, and rejuvenated.

She enjoys developing creative sequences and sharing her personal experience and understanding of yogic philosophy in a way that people can integrate into their everyday life.

Emily loves to continually immerse herself in the practice of yoga and has been drawn to a range of different teachers and styles throughout her years of practice. Some of her biggest influences include Noelle Connolly, Sarah Routhier, Rachel Coopes, Sarah Owen, Simon Park and Tiffany Cruikshank
