I was just 14 years old when I tagged along with my mum, to my very first Yoga class! It was being held at my local temple in Slough, by a Swami wearing an orange robe. As a restless teenager with asthma at the time, within a few sessions I noticed a big improvement in my breathing and no longer snoring at night. This motivated me to continue going to Yoga classes throughout my teenage years, until I no longer needed an inhaler!
When I was old enough to drive I started exploring various styles but the traditional methods taught by Swami Ji remained ingrained in me. I was particularly drawn to Hatha Yoga, for its well balanced approach to asanas (postures), pranayama (breath work) and meditation.
I was thrilled when a new Yoga studio opened in my hometown and I found myself wanting to go there everyday for classes! The physical postures helped make my body strong and supple, which supported me as a professional dancer. The breathing techniques made me feel calm and connected to myself and meditation ultimately led my spiritual quest, of going to India to discover my life’s purpose.
My favourite teacher was a lovely lady called Janette and it was actually her who advised me to do a Yoga Teacher Training course in Kerala, India.
It was the best time of my life in 2009, staying in a secluded ashram and following a strict daily regime. When I came back I began teaching Yoga from the side of my parents house and later expanded into community halls. In 2011, the DNC dance and yoga studio was launched and Yoga became a key part of our offerings. I absolutely love teaching my weekly Yoga classes! I enjoy reading the room and varying the session each week, as per people’s needs. I have a loyal group of students who I have seen progress over a long period of time. Whether it’s through better sleep, being calmer, having less pain or just feeling fitter and stronger.
Whenever I have time off work I book myself onto a Yoga retreat in a rural location, as I love continuing to learn from different teachers and immerse myself in nature. Yoga has been such a blessing in my life and I am so grateful for all the opportunities it has given me. It is more than just a physical practice, it is a way of living that brings joy, peace and harmony to every aspect of life. I also run my own residential retreats, which is a great way to connect with like-minded people and is often the foundation for one’s spiritual journey.
Yoga is a gift to the world and I’m grateful to be able to share it within my local community and online. Each session is structured, with a desired outcome of leaving participants feeling completely rejuvenated. Many students say their 1hr weekly Yoga class is the highlight of their week! Most report that they sleep better and feel less anxious in the following days after their class. I am so grateful that my Yoga students recently nominated me for ‘Yoga teacher & studio of the year’ award and Om Yoga Magazine shortlisted me.
My classes are ideal for anyone, no matter what your health condition is. I will customize the postures to suit your needs and with your consent, I will help you adjust your poses. You don’t need any prior experience in Yoga, just come and enjoy my friendly and relaxed teaching style in a serene and cozy environment. The sessions are 1 hour long and include a variety of Asanas (postures) that will boost your STRENGTH, FLEXIBILITY AND BALANCE. You will also learn how to align your posture correctly, which is great for anyone with skeletal issues or chronic pain. By practicing regularly, you will discover how to control your mind with your breath and bring yourself into the present moment, through the contrast of movement and stillness.

There are so many styles of Yoga, which one do you teach?
There are many styles of Yoga, with different names, however all Yoga originates from one which is known as HATHA derived from Patanjali. This consists of postures, breathing and meditation. Other forms tend to focus on one or the other. Nikita’s approach is holistic so she can incorporates all styles.
