Originally from the UK, Nia is a qualified primary school teacher who has taught in South Africa, the UK and Spain.

She has practiced yoga since she was in the womb and dedicates time daily to enjoy a self-led intuitive yoga and meditation practice.

She has studied yoga under the British Wheel of Yoga and has done children’s yoga training through Yoga Beez, a Yoga Alliance teacher training provider. Previous to becoming a primary school teacher Nia worked in the field of art curation and education as well as supporting NGOs. “I thoroughly enjoy teaching children yoga as a way to enhance their natural intuition and imagination- they are such natural yogis! With my background in formal and informal education I really understand that children need to work on balancing out their pressures and determining a more productive, confident understanding for life. I therefore aim to make each class I teach both fun and grounding … I do this by incorporating creativity, playful movement and peace.”
