Nick Tang, a lover of plants, nature, and travel, found his passion for yoga when he moved from Australia to Edinburgh. After committing to a frequent yoga practise, he eventually pursued a 200-hour Vinyasa YTT with Rebecca Sirman, one of the instructors at East Side Yoga. Nick focuses on creating dynamic flows, mindful breathing, and providing hands-on assists to deepen students' poses. He also incorporates stories and themes of yoga and nature into his classes.
