Connect your mind, body and breath with movement and find your edge.

Yoga Manifesto by Nadia Gilani

Nina’s yoga practice keeps her fit mentally, physically and has helped with sciatica and lower back issues. For Nina yoga helps her and her students to bring awareness to alignment, how the body moves and a deeper understanding of the physical self, both intuitively and through a regular practice.

Nina’s classes are accessible to all levels and she is passionate about offering community classes and workshops in her local area in South London, supporting minorities to find solace in yoga.

Nina’s classes are playful, dynamic and fun. Nina aims to hold space so that you can arrive on your mat as your true self and explore your own practice without judgment. In turn you will find a connection between your mind and body, to serve you for the rest of the day.

Background

Nina developed a regular yoga practice in 2015 after leaving her corporate job working in local government. Her training is in Ashtanga based Power and Vinyasa yoga.

Whilst her own physical practice is advanced, thanks to years of physical training doing gymnastics, disco and break-dancing and as the only girl in her football team back in the 80’s (!), she is an advocate of inclusive yoga, and her classes are welcoming for all levels.

What students say

“Nina’s vinyasa flow yoga class take you on a journey! From a grounding beginning to centre ourselves, a lovely focused and strong warm up with creative sun salutations and a fun standing series, no two classes are the same. Nina helps you feel comfortable and relaxed, whilst still giving a range of options for all levels – there is always an opportunity to challenge yourself! I would highly recommend to experienced practitioners and those new to yoga alike! – Jamie S.

“

I absolutely love Ninas classes, she is warm and engaging, her sessions are beautifully crafted, strong and challenging but always with a sense of play. I have found myself doing things with my body I never dreamed was possible at my age. With Ninas guidance, encouragement and support, my practice has developed so much, that it has also had a positive knock on effect to my approach to life challenges in general. I love how I feel after her classes and it has become so much a part of my life, that when I travel around the world I take her online classes and recordings with me. I can highly recommend Nina if you are just starting on your yoga journey or if you are a seasoned yogi looking to challenge yourself. You will love her!” – B. Lawrence

“I cannot recommend Nina highly enough. She enables everyone in the class to explore the areas of practice that they need at the time, through an in-depth knowledge of the practice of yoga together with a real sense of playfulness. Nina also embodies (and provides insights into) the philosophy of yoga, by being a warm-hearted and generous spirit. Her classes have helped me enormously, having emerged from seriously damaged knees to being stronger and fitter than I was before! She’s an absolute star.” – S. Wells
