Here’s a little introduction to me as we creep into 2026.

Hi Im Nicola, founder of Little Yoga Studio. I offer yoga classes in the form of weekly groups, an online membership, 1-2-1s and retreats. I teach a range of styles from vinyasa, to restorative, to yin. I’m also trained to share gong baths and am an EFT Tapping practitioner.

My ethos is to share the wonderful benefits of yoga and supportive therapies in a way that meets you where you are. Through these practices, I feel we can learn something about ourselves and the way we interact with the world around us.

On here you can expect:

* Tips to getting started with the practice and what to expect;
* Short, easy practices that highlight yoga’s accessibility;
* Yoga beyond the mat - helping us understand that yoga is more than what we see;
* The latest on the Yoga Hub - my online membership;
* The benefits of sound healing and EFT and what to expect in sessions;
* My own practice, inspirations and journey as a forever student.

If you would like to find out more, get started in your own practice, book a gong bath or EFT session, then feel free to get in touch.

You will be welcomed very warmly!

I still remember my first yoga classes as a beginner.

I was convinced I would never get my head round the breathing practices; that my mind was too busy and I wasn’t flexible enough.

But yet here I am, still chipping away, decades later 😅

It can feel daunting starting something new. But allowing ourselves to be a beginner, is a really wonderful practice. We don’t need to know ‘everything’ - I don’t know everything and I love being a forever student! - we just need to keep showing up.

You might start with a class a week. Getting to know the practices and how it feels in your body. Take time to explore the many facets of the practice.

Some of the best tips I would give to anyone starting a yoga practice, are here ⬆️

If you are looking for a practice that will help you deepen your awareness to yourself and the world around you, yoga really is the best place to start.

If you want to talk about beginning your yoga practice, joining a class or workshop, you can get in touch via a DM or below.

Links to book all classes are in the bio.

Enjoy the journey!

I love the highlights reels of 2025.

Pausing to reflect on what has been gives us important moments of gratitude and joy.

Yet let us not neglect the power of reflecting on the duality that exists in our lives. The joy and the difficulty. The light and the dark. One inextricable without the other.

Got myself together and wrote some thoughts over on substack. Sharing how 2025 has felt like the year I learned to stop waiting.

You can find my reflections - on both sides of the coin - here: https://open.substack.com/pub/littleyogastudio/p/the-year-i-learned-to-stop-waiting?r=181swg&utm_medium=ios&shareImageVariant=overlay

Wishing everyone a peaceful close to the year. See you in 2026 ✌🏻

I never set out to be a yoga teacher. I was more looking for something to help me find myself again.

I had been practicing yoga for years before I was made redundant. Losing my job as an Editor and m becoming a mother for the first time left me feeling like I had no idea who I was anymore.

My career had been my identity; that thing you say when people ask you something about yourself.

In all honesty, that redundancy left me feeling like a failure. At the time I took it personally; felt it was a reflection of me, rather than a business restructure.

Practicing yoga was where I found some solace. A way to be with the difficulty of it all.

Eventually I summoned the courage to do some training. I had nothing to lose and an insatiable curiosity to know more.

I was reflecting on something today and the ways in which we can hold ourselves back from stepping in. Whether it’s being a beginner and watching from the sidelines thinking I could never do that, or I don’t have what it takes etc.

These days, I’m grateful for the lessons of that redundancy. It meant I took the plunge.

But imagine if it didn’t have to be the big thing that got us to lean in. What if we just did the thing and didn’t hold ourselves back?

If you are new on your yoga journey and would like to start but not sure how, drop me a message.

December’s Rest Club - a gorgeous retreat afternoon of restorative yoga, a gong bath meditation, tea, brownies and community ✨

Such a pleasure to be back at the for an afternoon dedicated to pressing pause. These practices feel even more important as we come closer to the festive busy season, with slowing down feeling so very needed.

Yesterday’s practice felt very nurturing, with lots of time to rest busy bodies and minds.

Thank you so much to all who joined us. Looking forward to being back in January.

New Rest Club dates going out in the newsletter this week ✨

Yoga is so much more than what we see on the outside. Really it’s a journey that happens on the inside.

Far from being a physical activity on a mat, yoga is a journey through your layers.

It will creep in when you might not expect it; a much-needed pause before reacting, a quiet voice that whispers for you to slow down, a softening of your usually harsh inner voice.

It quite simply offers you an invitation to delve a bit deeper beyond what’s on the surface of everything.

This week yoga is teaching me, again, to look at my perfectionist tendencies. As I sit with what feels uncomfortable, I’m reminded that this indeed is the practice.

I’ve practiced yoga for a long time and I still have so much to learn.

That is what I love about it.

When I began practicing yoga - at my local gym after my Mum kept encouraging me to go along - I didn’t really get what all the fuss was about.

I guess it was nice enough that I kept going back, took up classes elsewhere, but I wasn’t immediately hooked.

But somewhere in amongst showing up each week and the inevitable highs and lows of life, it became something that I felt I needed to keep showing up for.

And much later, I found it gave me tools to show up for myself.

A few months ago, I was on a course and the teacher asked us to go round the room and say something about ourselves and our practice.

I found myself saying, without even thinking, that yoga has held me through some of the darkest moments of my life.

Did I know that at the beginning of my yoga journey? Absolutely not.

So I guess the point of this, is that like everything, we have no idea where something is headed. But if yoga feels good when you show up, maybe keep going.

As there’s so much more to uncover.

The cosiest of Rest Clubs ✨

As we come into the season of hibernation (!), there is something extra special about a candlelit practice of rest.

Thank you to everyone who joined Sunday's Rest Club at The Sanctuary. It was a pleasure to practice with you and to unwind in our own little cocoon.

There are just TWO more opportunities to practice with us pre Christmas.

Sunday, November 23 - Rest Club online - a 75 minute restorative practice dedicated to unwinding and slowing down.

Sunday, December 7 - Rest Club at Reiki Space - a yoga & gong retreat afternoon in the most epic space.

I did something equal parts nerve-wracking and exciting this week and joined ‘s live panel at their recent Breakfast Club.

Sharing the practices of yoga and talking about yoga is something that will forever light me up. Any excuse to dispel a myth or two - ‘I’m not flexible enough to do yoga,’ and ‘my mind is too busy to meditate’ - or encouraging people to scratch beneath the surface feels like a welcome opportunity.

Talking about the ‘business’ side of teaching though? Infinitely more exposing. Hiya imposter syndrome.

Still, these experiences always feel like a learning. A reminder of our own humanness and the power of vulnerability. As I guess whatever path you are walking, we are all stumbling along the way.

It’s a special little nook has created. Thanks for having me.
