About Teachers

Nichi Green

Nichi discovered ashtanga vinyasa yoga 5years ago and found it to be the perfect antidote to her then hectic lifestyle. A qualified creative arts therapist Nichi is a passionate and enthusiastic devotee to the astanga style and found that not only did it help her through pregnancy but also meant she got back into shape very quickly afterwards! Nichi enjoys sharing her own approach to ashtanga in an informal and relaxed environment where falling over is part of the fun! She is presently taking teacher training with Brian Cooper and Mawajyoti and has studied with John Scott, Mike Nevitt, Gerry Kielty and Sri. K. Patthabi Jois.
