Nicola holds the British Wheel of Yoga Teaching Diploma.  She was instructed to start yoga by her cranial sacral osteopath, whilst seeking treatment for a car crash injury to her mid/lower back nearly ten years ago. Whilst the doctors were recommending laser surgery on the spine the osteopath felt that a short course of treatment with him, followed by an adoption of yoga would suffice, and he was right – and more! After having been trained as a child and teenager in contemporary dance, yoga was both familiar and very strange. Luckily one of her first teachers was also an ex dancer which helped bridge the transition. Nicola has had a wide variety of teachers and influences from Astanga to Satyananda before arriving at Scaravelli.
