Yoga & Aerial Yoga Teacher
Studio Yoga and Aerial Yoga Classes. Retreats, Events & Hen Parties. Bournemouth & The New Forest. Dorset & Abroad.
Hi I’m Nicky, a Yoga Teacher and Aerial Yoga Teacher based on the South Coast between the beautiful Bournemouth seaside and the tranquility of the New Forest.
From grounding mat-based classes to the freedom of flying in Aerial, I love sharing the magical practice of Yoga from my heart, for everyone. My philosophy with Yoga has always been that it’s not about the shapes we create, it’s how they make us feel. It’s a Yoga practice, not a Yoga Perfect. All our bodies are wonderfully unique, and we celebrate what we can do, always practicing from a place of compassion.
My offerings are a beautiful balance of calming, yet uplifting energy… and always full of joy! Soulful, traditional Yoga with a playful twist. I love the connection and community that Yoga gives us all, and for me, it will always be so much more than just the poses.
Gentle, restorative practices to relax, unwind and promote better sleep.
Uplifting, playful practices to promote strength and flexibility.
Reset and find balance.
Nourish your mind, body & soul.
Connect with yourself & likeminded others.
Aerial Yoga is a fun and playful way to deepen your Yoga practice and safely explore inversions. Perfectly complementing other styles of Yoga, Aerial Yoga offers lightness for mind, body & soul.
Classes are based around traditional Yoga postures, using the fabric to help support your body weight. This allows for a greater range of movement and also the magic of zero compression inversions. It is very much still a Yoga practice, with elements of breathwork and meditation too. We share plenty of giggles as we fly together, and truly embrace our inner child!
I offer classes for everyone, from beginners to advanced, with options for more gentle, restorative styles as well as more energetic practices.
The perfect way to celebrate! Whether its your best gals’ hen party, birthday celebration or just a get-together with your friends, I offer alternative, bespoke Yoga & Aerial Yoga private parties for all occasions. Available at venues throughout Bournemouth, Poole & The New Forest. With plenty of optional extras available, you can be sure to make your celebration uniquely yours.
Retreats are a beautiful opportunity to reset, find balance & nurture your connection with yourself. Karley Simha Yoga and I bring you a magical mix of Yoga, from playful Aerial to grounding, energising Hatha, beautifully balanced with restorative Yin and Meditation practices, as well as other wonderful activities. Always including delicious vegan food, sweet treats, herbal tea and juices.
We also host some fab Yoga socials throughout the year to bring our wonderful community together. Think great food, beach hangouts, chai & chats!

A gentle, restorative evening yoga session by the sea. Classes are held on the beautiful seafront in Southbourne during the summer months, weather permitting! These are donation-based classes, with the option for Chai, chats & sea swims afterwards.
Spring/Summer months
A nourishing evening of Restorative Yoga, Nidrā & Sound Healing.
This is a blissful monthly offering, aligning with Sundays closest to the New Moon. An opportunity for intention setting and new beginnings.
A unique collaboration bringing together our love of music and meditation.
Join us for an immersive journey of sound. From traditional sound baths with Tibetan singing bowls, to a more creative blend of instruments creating the ultimate meditation soundtrack, Healing Grooves invites you to tune in to the rhythm of you.
Livestream yoga from the comfort of your own home! Join me for a cosy Bedtime Yoga class each week through the magic of Zoom. All you need to do is find a quiet space for you and your mat, and log in on your phone, tablet or laptop. My classes are streamed from my beautiful little home studio, and you will be able to follow me just like a regular class, except on your screen. (Pyjamas welcome!)
Autumn/Winter months
My classes are suitable for all levels and abilities, with options being given throughout the practice so you can personalise to your needs. I always say the most important thing in yoga is to listen to your own body, knowing when you can push yourself further and when to ease back. There is so much more to yoga than just the asanas (physical practice) too, so there will be something that works for you wherever you are at. If you are totally new to yoga, or not quite sure where to start then why not get in touch so we can chat about what’s right for you?
I also offer private one-to-one, or small group sessions, either in studio or via Zoom. Ideal if you’re new to Yoga or Aerial Yoga and would like to spend some time building confidence in the practice before joining a class. Or maybe you’re an experienced Yogi looking to deepen your practice and focus on alignment in a personalised class. Also, this could be a great option for you if you struggle to make the typical studio schedules.
Nicky is a kind, patient teacher with a positive and vibrant energy. She explains things very clearly and is willing to help anyone who is struggling in certain postures. Her aerial yoga classes definitely bring out everyone’s inner child! She has a warm and calming voice which is perfect for yoga nidra to end the practice. Highly recommend Nicky’s lovely retreats.
Nicky is wonderful! Such a beautiful energy. She makes aerial yoga so fun & inviting. She hosted a gorgeous party for my 16 year old daughter which was hugely appreciated & loved! Nicky you are a star 🤩🤩
I have attended Both Nicky’s mat and aerial classes and they are amazing! I particularly enjoy the Aerial Yin with the lovely Nedra meditation at the end.
Nicky always make you feel welcomed and relaxed. She explains how to do each posture with helpful encouragement, giving plenty or options in each one.
I always leave her classes feeling relaxed and calm both in my mind and in my body.
Highly recommend! 🙏
Nicola’s online yoga classes came into my life at a time when we were in lockdown and I was feeling mentally and physically exhausted. The yoga classes gave me a space at home to switch off, recuperate and relax which I was struggling to do. I suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome and restless legs and the yoga has improved the symptoms of this significantly for me. The yoga has improved my core strength and has helped me to tone up. I’ve also been able to start running properly again, as the knee pain I was suffering from, no longer exists since I started doing Nic’s online classes. Nicola is a wonderful teacher who explains the moves and gives you time to achieve it as well as providing alternatives based on your comfort and ability level. Thank you so much Nic.
What an absolutely amazing day! Nicky and Karley are the most fantastic team filling us all with such lovely energy! Lots of giggles were had as we embraced our inner child with so much fun in the aerial yoga followed by a beautiful Hatha flow! We finished with the most wonderful Nidra in our hammocks.. just perfect!
All completed with some delicious vegan treats, tea and chatting with the most fabulous yogis! Thank you Nicky and Karley for the most incredible day! 💛🙏💛
Nicky is a gentle, patient teacher who makes her students feel safe and comfortable at all times. She’s clear with her instructions as well as adding fun and playfulness to her classes. Extremely highly recommended!
