Nicola
Nicola’s journey into yoga began as a deep search for understanding human existence. From a young age, she was drawn to the idea that true freedom starts from within. This curiosity led her to obtain a Master’s degree in Psychology in 2017, where she focused on the complexities of the human mind. Yet, something was missing—the body. Exploring Dance and Movement Therapy opened up a new dimension of healing and self-discovery, blending mind and body awareness.
In 2015, Nicola began teaching her first yoga classes. Seeking to deepen her practice, she traveled to India to complete her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in an ashram, a transformative experience that marked the start of her lifelong study of yoga. Over the past decade, she has completed over 1200 hours of certified yoga training across disciplines including Ashtanga Vinyasa, Hatha, Vinyasa Flow, Yin Yoga, and Yoga Therapy for Women. She has also studied Thai Yoga Massage, breathwork, and ceremonial practices, integrating these elements into her teachings.
Nicola’s passion for yoga philosophy and hands-on adjustments has taken her across Asia and Europe, where she has shared her knowledge in teacher training programs in India, Spain, and now the Netherlands. She believes in yoga as a tool for transformation, both on and off the mat. Her classes blend traditional and modern approaches to asana practice, with a strong emphasis on intelligent sequencing, breath awareness, and the subtle energetic aspects of yoga.
During the teacher training at YG, Nicola is dedicated to guiding students through a transformational journey, creating space for deep exploration and personal growth. She offers expertise in yoga philosophy, creative sequencing, hands-on adjustments, and teaching methodology, helping students evolve from practitioners to confident teachers.
