Meet The Team

For our lovely Indira, Yoga is so much more than stretching, it's a way of life. But she firmly believes it should fit in around your life and not the other way around. "Some days I might do an hour of relaxing Yin, other days 20 minutes of dynamic Vinyasa. And when life gets really challenging, I might just listen to a Yoga Nidra recording in Savasana. We are constantly changing and our practice should reflect that.

Yoga helps me to be the best version of myself, it's as much a part of my daily routine as brushing my teeth. I've got so much from Yoga which is why I'm so passionate about spreading the benefits with others. I honestly believe that Yoga should be for everyone, not just the naturally bendy. We are all unique, no two bodies are the same and so one person's version of a Yoga pose might look and feel completely different to someone else's. Yoga is not about forcing your body into shapes and it's definitely not a competition so I invite my students to leave their ego at their door. Easier said than done but as the saying goes: 'Yoga isn't about touching your toes, it's about what you learn on the way down there.’ You might never do a handstand or the splits, but you can gain so much more: self acceptance and inner peace.”

Indira first discovered Yoga on the beach in India over 20 years ago and hasn't looked back since. She teaches many different styles including: Hatha, Vinyasa, Beginners, Yin, Yoga Nidra, Pregnancy Yoga, teen Yoga and Kids Yoga. As a former studio owner of “North London Yoga Studio”, Indira has a loyal local following. She is known for her nurturing and approachable style, clear explanations and enthusiasm. Regardless of where you find yourself on your Yoga journey, Indira is here for you.

Allow me to introduce you to your guide, Nicole, who will be your key to elevating your flow. 

Her Vinyasa practice is nothing short of magical. As she leads you through a mesmerizing moving meditation, you'll find yourself seamlessly lost in the fluidity of the practice, all while being comforted by her soothing guidance.
“At first, I believed Yoga as a key to physical health - it became my secret to training “injury free”, running marathons and reaching new PBs. A decade later I acknowledge that Yoga has helped me immeasurably beyond the physical body. Emotionally and spiritually, my favourite teachers have challenged my original belief that the joy of Yoga is a result of performing the asana. 

Yoga can guide anyone who is open to arriving on the mat (even if you start in a bad or flustered mood) to feeling a sense of freedom, deep peace, and gentle connection to others. In the right setting, much like a flower or tree, you will absorb everything you need to truly thrive.

As a Capricorn, my flows hope to help you feel empowered, secure and connected to the Earth - whatever has happened in your day. I'm here for you.”

Nicole's kindness and attentiveness to your Yoga journey shine through in her enchanting guided meditations. We are absolutely delighted to have Nicole as an integral part of The Shala team.
