Fantastic experience: I have done yoga classes with Nikki and loved them! She is skilled has years of knowledge and expertise and I feel comfrortable and safe in her classes, as I know she has so many years of expertise. And she is a lovely soul with a wonderful sense of humour, a beautiful mix! Thanks Nikki love your work and soul energy!

Fantastic experience: I started yoga with Nikki 9 years ago after the birth of my second child. I wanted to learn to make time for myself, feel balanced and to learn strategies to manage stressful situations. Yoga is great for all of this. Within a few weeks i was hooked! i was feeling calm and fabulous. Nikki has an easy to follow approach, her instructions are straight forward and the classes are enjoyable. That's why i keep coming back time after time.

Fantastic experience: Nikki was so easy to organise a group session with - she was very flexible with times and accommodating of specific needs of members of our group (e.g. pregnancy and pre existing injuries). We all ahead a great time and couldn’t recommend Nikki more highly :)

Fantastic experience: Nikki’s yoga classes are the best I’ve ever come across. She is able to explain how and why each of the poses and vinyasa’s work to strengthen the body, and relieve the ailments we all suffer from day to day living. I love that the classes are for all stages of flexibility & experience, and there are always a few jokes to keep it lighthearted and relaxed.

Fantastic experience: My sister and I attended a private session with Nikki. We were looking for some help dealing with an upsetting medical diagnosis and ways to calm our bodies and minds. Nikki was so helpful in providing strategies and methods to help us both. She was gentle and warm. Her help has been instrumental in helping us to connect body and mind. I can not recommend her enough. Thank you Nikki.

Fantastic experience: I started doing yoga with Nikki as I was suffering with back pain which no amount of medication could fix. I could not believe the relief it gave me with the added benefit of improving my flexibility and balance. Nikki's classes allow you to work at your own level of ability. Life for me at the time was very much travelling in the fast lane, yoga gave me an opportunity to both slow down my mind and body and to focus on the present. Now retired, I have increased the days I do my yoga practice and continue to reap the benefits of a healthy mind and body.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Nikki she is an absolute expert when it comes to teaching yoga. She is one of the most experienced yoga teachers in Australia and has been teaching yoga in the Nelson Bay and Port Stephens region for over 16 years.

Fantastic experience: Nikki's classes are accessible to everybody. Her understanding of movement and muscle mechanics means that anyone in her class- from beginner to expert- teenagers to seniors- will reap physical benefits. Nikki also has a pragmatic approach to yoga philosophy and lifestyle awareness; recognising habitual movement patterns and how they affect us on a psychological level as well as in the body.

Fantastic experience: Nikki is a mine of information on all thing Yogic. I have huge admiration for her wealth of knowledge. She will not permit you to do anything that is out of your league, however her classes are as challenging as you want them to be. Try a class you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of joining a class at Yogasphere while holidaying at Anna Bay. Well, what a surprise to find such a gorgeous space. I was immediately greeted by a warm and welcoming group of participants. Nikki Shilling guided the class through the poses insuring everyone felt relaxed and capable at the level they felt confident with. Her instruction was clear and reassuring providing opportunities to challenge yourself if you wished. Looking forward to a return trip to share the pleasure of this yoga practice. Brett

Fantastic experience: I love Nikki's Down to earth, practical and safe teaching style. She always takes the time to provide variations of the pose to suit various ability/ flexibility levels. As a bonus, the yoga space is comfortable and relaxed.

Fantastic experience: If you have never tried Yoga before this is the place to go... Nikki has a great yoga studio in Port Stephens. She clearly knows what she is doing and makes everyone feel relaxed and welcome beginners and more advanced students. She also ensures that every pose is done correctly. With her help that is easy to achieve. Yoga is great for body and mind and I am glad I have found such a great studio with an awesome teacher !

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to yoga classes with Nikki since moving to the bay two years ago. Having no previous experience with yoga, I was a little nervous when I stepped outside my comfort zone and came along to my first class. Thankfully, I immediately felt at ease when I entered. I’ve had a keen interest to learn about yoga for some time and I found Yogasphere to be the perfect fit for me. The room is warm and inviting and Nikki is a welcoming teacher who will explain the importance of posture in the poses and the philosophies behind the breath work. She provides further add-ons to poses to extend yourself if you so wish so it doesn’t matter how flexible you are, there is always a pose that you can do. What I value most about Nikki is her genuine nature and her generous offering of wisdom that is both grounded and refreshing. She encourages everyone to leave ones ego at the door and to sit quietly with yourself whilst in class. I have found this practice very beneficial for my own health. She reminds us all to consider our own bodies before we commence the class and to tune into what is best for oneself on the particular day. It’s not a competition at Yogasphere, it’s a personal journey in a tranquil space with a teacher who knows what she’s talking about. I highly recommend Nikki at Yogasphere to anyone and everyone!

Fantastic experience: I can honestly say after attending Nikki's yoga classes I ALWAYS have a sense of well being. More importantly I am not sure whether I am doing the poses correctly, but I trust Nikki's guidance and I always get some sort of reward after classes, whether it be, an emotional or physical one. I have also been attending a monthly women's program on a Sunday afternoon which I am enjoying, again feeling enlightened and happy when I leave.

Fantastic experience: Amazing teaching style and fantastic all around instructor. Nikki makes her students not only feel welcome as a valuable part of her yoga world but mainly COMFORTABLE by ensuring modification options for each pose are offered and demonstrated. Nikki reminds us that yoga is truly for everyBODY and if you stick it out in one of her 6 week courses, YOUR body (and mind) will thank you. I know mine is.

Fantastic experience: I adore Nikki's yoga classes. A perfect combination of strength, flexibility and breathe work. suitable and versatile for many fitness levels and age groups. Nikki's instruction is superb and her space out at one mile is amazing. I feel calmness instantly on arrival, which is a perfect way to start a session. The breathing that i have learnt from Nikki has helped me in so many profound ways, my sport, my meditation and my all around well being and health. Nikki also has a few amazing products starting to emerge. Her moisturiser is a staple favourite of mine. I cant wait to make the nxt work shop with my 8 year old daughter. She will love it. Thank you so much for the wellness that you bring to our community Nikki. Namaste

Fantastic experience: I have been doing Yoga with Nikki at Yogasphere since I moved to the area and I love it.She is an amazing teacher, very knowledgeable.I highly recommend her classes!

Fantastic experience: I always walk out of Nikki's yoga classes feeling so much better than when I walked in. Nikki always makes everyone feel comfortable. The classes are fun and the time just seems to pass by way too quickly! If I could, I would attend a class every day... and my body would thank me for it! Emma Bowen :)
