About
Yoga Isle of Wight, under the guidance of Nickie Short, is a yoga studio located in the coastal town of Ryde on the Isle of Wight. Positioned conveniently between Ryde and Sandown, the studio offers group yoga classes alongside a specialised yoga therapy clinic.
The core of Yoga Isle of Wight is Yin Yoga, a practice that Nickie Short has developed a deep passion for in recent years. Yin Yoga is a gentle and meditative form of yoga that works with the mind and body as they are in the present moment. It prioritises finding peace and balance rather than exertion. Nickie's approach to Yin Yoga is gentle and encourages students to be present rather than strive for achievement.
In addition to Yin Yoga, Nickie incorporates elements of Hatha Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Pranayama, and Mindfulness in her classes. This holistic practice, which she terms Yoga for Well-being, promotes overall health and wellness. Nickie's classes are accessible to everyone, from beginners to seasoned practitioners, and she is skilled at accommodating a variety of health concerns, both physical and emotional.
The studio also includes a Yoga Therapy Clinic, where Nickie offers personalised one-on-one sessions to address specific health concerns and promote general well-being. Using traditional yoga techniques alongside modern understanding of health, science, and psychology, she specialises in areas such as stress and anxiety management, back complaints, injury and surgery rehabilitation, digestive health, and pain conditions.
While most Yoga Therapy sessions are private, Nickie occasionally offers group workshops and short courses. Regardless of the setting, her approach remains gentle, accessible, and compassionate, focusing on individual needs and goals.
Beginners are always welcomed at Yoga Isle of Wight, as the classes are designed to cater to those new to yoga. Nickie encourages newcomers to reach out with any concerns or questions before attending a class. Her aim is to share the benefits of yoga and foster a welcoming and supportive community.
For convenience, Yoga Isle of Wight offers an app for easy class booking, and the studio's website features blog posts on yoga-related topics, as well as updates on class schedules and events.
With its serene atmosphere and Nickie Short’s dedicated guidance, Yoga Isle of Wight welcomes individuals from all backgrounds to explore the transformative power of yoga and embark on a journey towards self-discovery and well-being.
