Welcome!
I’m so glad you’re here.
My name is Nikoleta, and I offer gentle, grounded yoga designed to support you through life’s most tender transitions. Especially pregnancy, early motherhood, whenever you need to move mindfully and with intent, or need the deep rest of yin yoga.
Whether you’re expecting, recovering, or simply seeking movement or stillness in a busy world, you are welcome here, just as you are.
I love sharing yoga with our little ones. It brings so much joy including them in a practice that grounds us and leaves us with more energy to connect and bond with our littles. Sharing the energy of the practice, bringing our babies up in the air as we stretch into high lunge, then seeing their smiles as we lower them down. Helping our toddlers stand on one leg, guiding them through some breathwork as we pretend sip hot cocoa. These moments fill my heart with joy and I can’t wait to share them with you!
My Approach
This isn’t about perfect poses or pushing harder.
It’s about pausing, listening, and growing in our practice together.
I teach from a place of calm and compassion with a little bit of whimsy, creating space for:
✨Self-acceptance
✨Nervous system support
✨Breath awareness
✨Emotional grounding
✨Reconnection with your body
✨Having fun
Yoga with me is slow, steady, and supportive – a space to breathe deeply, move intuitively, and honour your own rhythm. With just a little bit of whimsy and light-hearted approach.
Why I Do This Work
I believe that every woman deserves to feel safe, strong, and seen in her body. Especially during pregnancy and postpartum.
I’ve seen how mindful movement and breath can be anchors during change. And I’m here to offer that same anchor to you. As well as offer you new ways and approaches to playing and engaging with your toddler.
What You Can Expect
Whether you join me for a class, a private session, or just a few quiet breaths online, you’ll find:
✨A warm, non-judgmental space
✨Inclusive, trauma-aware guidance
✨Options and props to support all bodies
✨A focus on how you feel, not how you look
✨Lighthearted and welcoming setting
✨A friendly smile and someone who listens
“Breathe in and smile. Breathe out and relax.“

With warmth,
Nikki
