“Studying with Nicky on the recent Yin Yoga Teacher training course was an absolute privilege. Her knowledge of anatomy and functional yoga is extraordinary, and she is a brilliant teacher who brings depth, clarity and care to everything she shares.

What makes Nicky particularly special is the wisdom and spirituality she brings to her teaching. Her deep study of meditation and Buddhism is woven naturally into the training, adding a richness that goes well beyond the physical practice.

Calm, intelligent and full of life experience, Nicky brings herself wholly to her work. Her passion, dedication and deep investment in her craft are evident throughout. There is something very generous about the way she teaches, sharing both her knowledge and so much of herself.

Feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn from her. She truly is one of a kind. And I’m already planning further studies with Nicky.”

“Nicky is an exceptional yoga teacher who teaches from the heart. Her burning passion is rare to find and highly inspiring.”

“Nicky’s MyoYin training is hands down the most thorough yoga education I’ve taken. Her depth of anatomical knowledge is unparalleled, breaking down every layer of the body in a way that is both scientifically precise and immediately applicable on the mat. She teaches with an articulate brilliance that makes even the most complex concepts crystal clear, weaving together myofascial science, anatomy, and yin principles into a seamlessly cohesive and deeply enriching curriculum. If you are serious about elevating your practice and your teaching to the highest level, Nicky is the gold standard – I cannot recommend this training highly enough!”

“Nicky is an absolutely fantastic, dedicated and inspirational yoga teacher. Her expertise and passion to teach and support her students are exceptional. It was such an amazing experience to join her 100-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training. I learnt so much about yin yoga, anatomy and how to skilfully adapt yoga poses to work for everyone. All of Nicky‘s teachings have a significant impact on my yoga practice and are so valuable in enabling me to develop as a yoga teacher. I highly recommend to practice and study with Nicky.”

Nicky’s teaching and trainings come from a place of pure authenticity. She teaches from experience, as well as up-to-date theory and expertise. I have been lucky enough to train with Nicky in person and online in different countries and her passion for her mission, for teaching and for helping transform our approach to the human body and our yoga experience never wavers. It is wonderful to hear about Nicky’s own continued studies and this inspires others to keep learning and exploring to be more mindful practitioners and emphatic and intelligent teachers. I would not hesitate to recommend Nicky’s classes or trainings to anyone. Her unique teaching style makes her Yin classes transformative and always ignite a powerful emotional and physical change.

“This course was so informative and Nicky was able to present the content in a way that was digestible. I really enjoyed the presentations and the detailed feedback on assignments. Anatomy components were articulate and science based – it’s obvious that Nicky is a master of her subject.”

“Completing Nicky’s 100-hr Yin Training transformed the way I describe the purpose of poses for students and deepened my own practice and self-awareness. Nicky’s focus on the functionality and target area, rather than the aesthetics of a shape, was such a refreshing and inclusive approach that can accommodate literally any body — I found it an especially inspiring narrative that contrasted with today’s pervasive “Instagram-perfect” yoga culture. The anatomy lessons and mobility clinics helped me to better understand hip mobility in a practical way. And I absolutely loved learning about the primary meridians and foundations of Chinese medicine. Nicky expertly weaved together the physical, mental and emotional benefits of yin practice into the structure and syllabus of this course and enrolled our full class in becoming Hong Kong yinsters.”

“I want to take a moment to sincerely thank you. The course has been incredibly inspiring and full valuable content. I know it will take time to fully absorb and integrate all the information, but I’m deeply grateful for your generosity in sharing your knowledge, your clarity in teaching, and the authenticity and humility you brought into the course. It really made a difference and left a strong impression on me. Thank you for everything!”

“After years of feeling disconnected from my yoga practice and experiencing a profound transformation, navigating the waves of depression, cancer and early menopause, I discovered Yin Yoga. This deeply introspective practice reshaped my relationship with my body, offering me not just a space to surrender, but a sanctuary where my inner struggles softened, where darkness became a place of comfort, and where I finally found peace.

Seeking to deepen my understanding of Yin, I found Nicky and with her, even more light. Her approach to functional yoga is seamlessly woven into her trainings, creating an incredible experience for students. With clear explanations, accessible examples, and an abundance of practical insights, she makes the complexities of functional yoga easy to understand and apply.

If you’re looking to immerse yourself in the magic of functional yoga and develop a deeper, more effective practice, Yintelligence is the school for you. Thank you, Nicky, for your passion, love, and dedication to every training you offer!”

“Nicky is a caring and passionate teacher. Her teaching is compassionate and fuelled by her passion to teach yoga in an accessible and safe way, focussing on the function of the pose rather than how it looks. She is understanding of her students why in yoga and works to support them in any way she can. 

Nicky is also dedicated in sharing her approach with teachers and creates interesting, educational and accessible teacher trainings. I was fortunate enough to take one of her trainings recently and her passionate and hard work was evident. I feel more confident in my knowledge in human anatomy variations and in my ability to teach it.”

“In this training we practiced a lot of different kind of techniques and ways of meditation. From the buddhist point of view and their lineage as well as the yoga philosophy and chakra techniques. Very well organized and great manual so we have now several tools to investigate what works best for ourselves and bring the different ways to our students.  I never felt at ease sitting and meditate but with the skillful guidance of Nicky I was able to tap into this source of joy and also silence within myself. You can really feel that she lived through all this herself, practices this and that she teaches from her own experience. Which makes it authentic and better to grasp. It makes you eager to learn and absorb all the words of knowledge coming from her. Such a lot of  wisdom and such a lovely, open hearted, vibrant personality! I highly recommend taking this training if you want to explore more about meditation.”

“Nicky is approachable, down to earth and an absolutely fabulous teacher, she shows 100% passion in all of her teachings and it’s evident in her returning students each time. I recently took module 3. The course was in depth, carefully executed and inclusive to all students who attended. Nicky shares her knowledge so passionately and her presence through out the course was flawless. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to ensure their own teaching/classes more functional and accessible, to take any one of Nicky’s courses. I already feel a huge shift in my confidence when guiding students to explore their own bodies more.”

“When I first started attending Nickys Yin classes in Hong Kong, I straight away was engrossed by her passion, knowledge and intuitive nature. I found myself eager to learn more from her and so I joined onto her next teacher training, out of pure interest, even though I wasn’t teaching Yoga myself at the time. Fast forward 5-6 years and on the other side of the world, I now teach Yoga and am booked onto my 6th teacher training with Nicky.

I couldn’t recommend Nicky enough, as a teacher and teacher trainer. The fact that her students travel worldwide to continue to learn from her is a huge reflection of her teachings. Thank you Nicky!”

“It has been absolutely mind blowing teacher training. I didn’t only deeply studied  anatomy but also learned how different bodies we have  and how important it is to see it, acknowledge so that we can  make every posture work for everyone the best possible way. Looking forward to keep studying with Yintelligence school”

“I’m so happy that I waited this long to do my yin yoga teacher training. I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher! Nicky’s approach to teaching is rooted in excellent knowledge of anatomy. She teaches with function in mind making yoga accessible and inclusive. Her classes are a great balance between theory and practice.  I can’t wait to learn more from her.”

“I attended Nicky’s 100-hour Yin Yoga TT with a focus on functional anatomy and Chinese medicine theory in 2019.  I was torn between two different options for yin teacher trainings, so I attended a few of Nicky’s classes before signing up.  Each time when I left her Yin class, I left more energized and more calm than ever, and I was so curious about what made her classes stand out so far above the rest that it convinced me to sign up for her Yin training.

During the course of the six weeks, Nicky poured her heart and soul into the training and patiently deconstructed for us what makes for a gold standard yin teacher and yin class.  We covered the different elements of designing a yin class, from setting energy curves to selection of themes and giving proper instructions for pose variations.  Most importantly, Nicky demonstrated to us the importance of respecting skeletal variation in each person and not applying a universal standard to all bodies.

While I am Chinese by heritage, I learned many new facets and sides of Chinese medicine and meridian theory that I didn’t know before and it was so refreshing to gain new insights from a different point of view.

Lastly, it is rare for teachers to share so openly parts of their heart and story – Nicky is one of those precious few whose insights have crystallized through diving through the deepest oceans and emerging with the pearls of wisdom from its depths.  She will inspire you to bring more to your classes than the poses themselves, and to unravel the layers covering your own soul to offer your authentic self to your students.

I would recommend Nicky’s training without hesitation.”

“My learning journey with Nicky has been one of the most transformative experiences in my path as a yoga teacher and practitioner. Each module felt like peeling back a new layer of understanding—not just about the practice, but also about myself as both a teacher and a human being.

Nicky’s teaching style is clear, methodical, professional, and deeply compassionate. She has a unique gift for making complex concepts both simple and applicable, while holding space for each student’s emotional process along the way. Her way of teaching anatomy and biomechanics is practical, clear and accessible, yet at the same time profound—opening doors for deeper exploration.

Beyond the technical knowledge, what I appreciate most about Nicky is her authenticity and her ability to teach from the heart and from her own embodied healing experience. The way she transmits the spirit of yoga—both Yin and Yang—nourishes and informs, at a deep level, how I practice and how I hold space for others as well.

I deeply resonate with her teachings, and having had the privilege of sharing a retreat with her, I can confidently say that she is exactly the same person online and in person. Her coherence and integrity in how she shows up are truly inspiring. I carry her teachings with me every time I step onto the mat and into the role of holding space for others.”

“A huge shout out to Nicky Hadjithoma for putting together one of THE most intelligently crafted training programs, rooted in the essence of yoga. She has truly been sent as a gift from beyond. I look forward to attending many more training with Nicky in the future.”

“I have done a lot of trainings over the years but I must say the Myofascial Yin Yoga training with Nicky was one of the best!  Even though it was by Zoom it made no difference.  The informative manual and demos were fantastic and I learned so much.  I would definitely take another training with Nicky. She is so knowledgeable in all that she says and does.”

“The online Myoyin and myofascial release teacher training with Nicky exceeded all my expectations of what could be grasped online and in such a short time. Nicky’s engaging and inspiring way of presenting her knowledge shone through the screen. Every little detail, description, demonstration carefully thought out and timed to perfection. Nicky’s pure passion for what she does is truly evident and I would recommend to anyone, whether new to yoga or experienced to take on knowledge from this amazing teacher.”

“There are many good yoga teachers but only few of them know how to teach. Nicky is one of the few! The knowledge I learnt from her is useful for my entire life.”

“Loved everything about the functional approach to understanding Yin and then the bigger picture of linking it with the meridians, the muscles and the bones. The methodology of the teaching was impeccable and how the information and live data (for example: the postures) were recorded for future reference made repeated access to the subject matter non-cumbersome. I felt I had reached the right place with the right teacher. Thank you Nicky!”

“If you believe we’re spiritual beings having a physical experience, you’ll delight in how Nicky teaches anatomy. Whether you’re a teacher looking to add value to your toolkit or a student hoping to deepen your practice, somehow, the way she talks about bones and muscles and tissues touches the soul.”

“I really enjoyed this training. It was beautifully led by the amazing Nicky, whose knowledge is both deep and inspiring. Even though it was held online, the training felt very interactive and engaging — one of the few online trainings I’ve done that truly felt this way. I appreciated how practical, clear and easy to follow it was, and I loved every moment of it. Nicky is a wonderful teacher, and I’m already looking forward to joining her again for another training soon. Highly recommended!”

“Nicky is one of those precious few whose insights have crystallised through diving through the deepest oceans and emerging with the pearls of wisdom from its depths.  She will inspire you to bring more to your classes than the poses themselves, and to unravel the layers covering your own soul to offer your authentic self to your students. I would recommend Nicky’s training without hesitation.”

“Nicky is truly one of those teachers that is teaching from the heart. Throughout the training, she constantly surprised me by showing how knowledgeable, skillful, mindful, and graceful she can be to lead a Yin practice, and even more so to deliver an amazing training. A few morning’s Yin practices she held were the best ones I’ve ever had. I’m also deeply convinced by the functional approach to yoga that was taught and showcased by various practices and experiments we did in the training, which I believe will change the way I practice and teach yoga forever. And above all, Nicky’s enthusiasm and dedication to teaching is something I respect and admire the most. I would highly recommend this course to any yoga practitioners and teachers.”
