Nicky Grimsdale

“I never knew I could do that posture… his sequencing is just next level. For the first time in a yoga class, I was completely present and at one with my body and mind. Nicky showed me I was so much more capable than I thought. He creates a really accessible way to prepare for a tricky posture – physically, energetically and mentally – that it effortlessly just happens. He creates an open environment that gave me the best opportunity to get into a posture, the meditation was simple and clear, and the pranayama practice was described in a way I’ve never heard before.  The complex philosophical concepts, was integrated in a completely relatable way too. I’ve never experienced anything like it. Every class hits the spot perfectly. Time after time, he creates a practice that turns out to be exactly what I needed.”
