Nadia is a local, Hitchin-based yoga teacher, mum, student and sustainability professional. She discovered yoga when living in Argentina about 13 years ago, triggered by an initial interest in meditation and yoga philosophy, and it has been part of her life ever since. Her classes are welcoming, for all levels and weave a balance of mindfulness and playful movement into every session. 

Her yoga journey began 13 years ago in Buenos Aires, where she was living at the time, and where her sons were born and grew up. There she did a three-year Hatha Yoga teacher training at the Indra Devi Institute and gained some teaching experience there. Despite since building a successful career in Sustainability in London, yoga practice has remained a constant in her life. And she has now created some space to come back around to her yoga teaching goals. She completed the 200-hour Vinyasa Flow teacher training at WEDOYOGA to refresh and broaden her knowledge and expertise. 

Wanting to break the stereotypical zen-like image of a cross-legged ethereal instructor floating on a cloud, Nadia believes in making her classes, welcoming, playful and for everybody. She wants yoga to be more accessible and relevant for everyone, by making it more experimental, fun, energetic, and most importantly, authentic. 

Her classes are playful but thoughtful, lively but also easy going. And she likes to weave some philosophy aspects and meditation in too, as, for Nadia, yoga is learning, but by using much more than just our minds!
