Nikki Bates lives in the pretty village of Orba on the Northern Costa Blanca, Spain. She lives with her husband Matthew and their dogs, Ziggy and Tin-tin.
Nikki has been practising yoga for eight years and teaching for five years.
Nikki´s Yoga classes combine breathing, relaxation and light visualisation techniques, along with Hatha Yoga postures and vinyasa-style sequences, that will leave you feeling refreshed, healthy and heavenly. Her style is light-hearted and fun, yet with a strong emphasis on postural alignment and safety.
Nikki adds, 'I am a self'-confessed yoga bore! I love yoga and feel honoured and thankful that it is such a big part of my life.
Yoga will help you in more ways than you could imagine. It´s so much more than just coming to class and practising postures. You dont need to tie yourself in knots or do a headstand. Yoga helps us to be aware, to be calm and to be the best we can be.
I love to laugh and have fun so when we practise, we dont take ourselves too seriously. Just do what you can do and dont worry about what you cant do.
I love that there´s nothing ´to get´ in yoga. Nothing to strive for. Your postures and your body are perfect as they are. It really is common sense but a lot of us have forgotten that life´s to be lived and enjoyed, not endured.
Going to class is a great way to stay active and healthy and to meet like-minded, lovely people. Your first class is free so you´ve nothing to lose and so much to gain.'
Namaste.
