MEET NIKKI WEST
Passionate RYT500 Yoga Teacher, firmly rooted in the sacred traditions of Yoga while flowing

Nikki is a passionate RYT500 Yoga Teacher, firmly rooted in the sacred traditions of Yoga while flowing her teachings gracefully into a modern and accessible methodology.
Since taking her first class at the age of 13, the presence of Yoga has been woven through her life in every way. Her first teacher training in classical Hatha Yoga felt like returning home to the deep intuitive wisdom that she had always known, and now her passion and purpose is to help awaken that same inner knowing in her students.
She has since gone on to specialise in Ayurveda in India, returning often to study at the Sivananda Dhanvantri Ashram in Neyyar Dam. She has also continued her education in Vedic philosophy, mantra and Sanskrit, and loves to incorporate these passions into her classes in a digestible way.
Guided by the intention to honour the sacred teachings of Yoga, Nikki holds space for practitioners and teachers alike to deepen their practice with authenticity and reverence. Her approach invites you to honour where you are, while gently guiding you toward what you long for, whether that is balance, clarity, compassion, or peace. She has brought her teachings around the world, having lived in Canada, the UK, and now Central America.
Her values are firmly rooted in Ahimsa: compassion and love for all living things. When Nikki is not teaching, she is exploring new corners of the world, tending to her garden, making animal friends and is always on the lookout for an ecstatic dance or Kirtan circle.
Above all, Nikki hopes that her teachings will help to inspire a movement of love, service, and conscious expansion.
