Welcome to ASANA by Nicola, a place where I share my Yoga journey & teachings through written word, & in person sessions. I offer bespoke, private classes to the residents & visitors of Koh Samui, Thailand.
As a RYT 200-hour qualified yoga teacher with over five years of teaching experience, I offer Hatha and Vinyasa-based classes that integrate strength, mobility, breath, and mindful awareness. I trained with Yoga Dharma in Southend, England, and my teaching is informed by both the physical discipline of asana and the wider philosophical foundations of yoga.
My approach to teaching is thoughtful and inclusive. Classes often weave together movement with yoga philosophy, historical context, Sanskrit terminology, affirmations, and reflective readings, offering a practice that extends beyond the purely physical. I provide clear modifications, optional challenges, and hands-on assists where appropriate, allowing each student to explore the practice in a way that feels supportive, empowering, and sustainable.
“Yoga does not just change the way we see things, it transforms the person who sees” B.K.S Iyengar
Alongside adult classes, I am a qualified children’s yoga teacher and developed the ASANA Yoga for Children 12-week programme, which I delivered in UK primary schools for two years. I have also taught yoga online, in corporate settings, and within studio environments, adapting my teaching to suit different spaces, needs, and stages of life.
Above all, my intention is to create grounded, well-considered practices that invite curiosity, self-awareness, and a deeper connection to both body and breath.
If you’d like to see my teaching & reflections, you can follow me on Instagram @ASANAbyNicola where I share yoga philosophy for life both on & off the mat.
