Dear Nilaya House friends,
February 2020 marks two years since we opened the doors of Nilaya House. Time is a funny thing. On the one hand it feels like these two years have flown by, yet so much has happened it feels surely to be longer than just a couple of years.
Now we are entering our third year, we’re really happy to welcome back some visiting teachers for the second time (read more on Kate O’Donnell and Uma Dinsmore-Tuli below) as well as host some teachers for the first time (Simon-Borg Olivier comes in March!).
We’re also very proud to offer two top-quality teacher training courses this year; the Yoga Institute’s Hatha Yoga TTC starting the end of this month and the YogaWorks Vinyasa Yoga TTC running in April. These trainings along with our regular classes and special workshops, continue to support our vision for Nilaya House to be a place to both start and deepen your yoga journey. Do be in touch if you have ideas or feedback on how else we can support further in anyway.
Yours in Yoga
Nea

We are delighted to host Simon Borg-Olivier at Nilaya House in March, truly one of the world’s most dynamic and innovative yogis. Simon has been pioneering the application of physiology and physiotherapy to hatha yoga for more than 30 years. Join Simon to learn how to systematically work with your practice through four fundamental principles of traditional yoga that are very much in line with modern concepts of strength and conditioning, and the science of exercise-based physiology and physiotherapy. These principles can help you develop a yoga practice that will enhance your health and well-being on physical, energetic and emotional levels.
