Introduction to Kundalini Yoga Course starts Sunday 16 April 2023
**This course is now full and there is a second course starting on Sunday 23 April 2023 (10am to 11:30am)** Limited spots!
Join Nicky to explore the foundational aspects of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan over 8 weeks here in Blenheim, Marlborough. This will be a small in-person only group (the same group will go through the whole course together, there won’t be any ‘drop-in’ places offered along the way).
This course will be perfect if you are new to yoga, or for those who are more experienced but wanting to learn more about Kundalini Yoga or take the time to cover the fundamentals.
Often referred to as the Yoga of Transformation, Kundalini Yoga is a truly holistic practice utlising many yogic tools such as different breathing techniques, mantra, kriya, specific hand positions, body locks, meditation and relaxation practices.
Kundalini Yoga works on both the gross and subtle aspects of the body and mind and is both energising and deeply calming. Ultimately it allows for the unfolding of the potential that lies dormant within us and is a powerful tool for awakening and spiritual progress.
Starting on Sunday 16 April at 4pm (90 minute session each week) and running for 8 consecutive weeks. This is an ideal time in the week for self reflection and preparation for the week ahead.
Investment: $280 NZD (includes a workbook and all classes)

Nicky introduced me to her breathing techniques while I was pregnant and arranged a 1-1 session for me. I can’t emphasise enough how beneficial this has been through pregnancy, labour and even during post-partum. Nicky really adapted her techniques to my specific needs at the time and gave me a daily breathing plan which allowed me to relax and take myself in a safe place. It helped me having an enjoyable and serene first pregnancy experience while working in a stressful job until my baby arrived. It also truly made a difference during labour. Indeed a regular practice of my customised breathing plan enhanced my focus capacity and allowed me to have the most perfect labour journey, naturally while managing contractions in a serene way. Now in post-partum, it helps me dealing with the mental and physical challenges of post-partum and the life changes of maternity. I am sure it helps me finding the better version of myself for these first weeks with my baby. Thank you for your unconditional support Nicky, I am very grateful.
