Discoyoga & Dharmaland
TEACHER FEATURE: Nickie Hanley
The source of all abundance is not outside you. — Eckhart Tolle
Why yoga & meditation?
I discovered meditation first. I was at the end of a 10 year practice of taking drugs and alcohol and found myself very lost and broken. I came to a cross road and was shown the path of meditation. I did a course with the Brahma Kumar is in Fitzroy and went on a self healing journey. Along that path I found yoga and decided to do my teacher training when I was in my mid thirties. Trained with AYA and have been on a road of self discovery and transformation ever since. The road never ends it’s just gets wider with the knowledge you acquire.
What excites you about life?
Anything creative, my friends and family, and of course music and dance!
How would you describe your teaching style?
My flow classes are very influences by dance everything flows from one thing smoothly to the next. I like to do a detailed warm up that encapsulates what’s to come. So you leave feeling your whole body again.
