About Me

Hey, I'm Nigel. Personal Trainer, Yoga Teacher, Tiny Habits Coach, and Certified Menopause Coach.I believe many of the challenges we face today stem from disconnection.We're disconnected from our bodies, from nourishing food, from nature, from each other, and often from ourselves. We spend our lives in our heads, glued to screens, chasing productivity while feeling increasingly exhausted, anxious, and overwhelmed.I don't believe the answer is endless self-optimisation. I believe it's about reconnecting with what makes us human.That belief has shaped my life's work.Growing up as a young carer to a parent living with severe depression, anxiety, and OCD sparked a lifelong curiosity about what truly helps people heal and flourish.For nearly a decade, I've helped people build strength, resilience, and healthier habits in gyms, yoga studios, corporate workplaces, and mental health hospitals. Along the way, my search for answers has taken me to silent meditation retreats, Buddhist, Daoist, and Yogic philosophy, pilgrimages, and training with the Arhuaco people in the mountains of Colombia, alongside studying exercise science and behaviour change.Science taught me how strength, stress, and habits work. Ancient wisdom taught me what they're for.Today, I bring both together to help people reconnect with what modern life too often pulls us away from: their bodies, nature, meaningful relationships, and themselves.

Yoga Classes

I've taught hundreds of yoga classes around London as a RYS-certified yoga teacher and Pranayama (yogic breathwork) teacher. My classes are rooted in accessibility, mindfulness and somatic awareness. I aim to help people reach a meditative flow state whilst working on their body. The types of classes I teach are...Fiery Vinyasa Flow: A dynamic, stronger practice focused on building heat, presence, and physical strength.Restorative & Nurturing Flow: A softer, slower-paced flow dedicated to releasing physical tension and slowing down the mind.

Private Yoga Classes

In spaces that are often fast-paced and high-pressure, I offer a chance to reconnect to your body, and move with intention. Whether you are booking a regular class for your workplace, a set for a festival, or a session for a birthday or hen-do, the session is built for your needs.

  • Available for one-off events, community gatherings, or recurring weekly classes.

  • Typical sessions run for 45 or 60 minutes, designed to fit seamlessly into your schedule.

  • I come directly to you, whether that’s a London office, an outdoor stage, or a community space.

Email or DM me for private yoga class requests. State the venue location, event type and any other details you think are important and I'll get back to you ASAP.

Testimonials

Nigel is an excellent coach. His sessions are thoughtful, engaging, and effective. His focus on mindfulness, both in training and in daily life, gave me a new perspective on exercise and healthy habits. He genuinely cares about his clients wellbeing, and I would recommend him without hesitation.

Harriet - Senior Lawyer

I came to Nigel struggling with distracted, emotional eating where I used food to avoid difficult feelings. Through mindful eating and a tiny habits approach, I found ways to make change feel gentle and sustainable, even when my motivation was low. The celebratory elements we used have transformed how I relate to food and my emotions, and I feel like our time working together has created life-long shifts.

Oli - Intimacy Coach

I was struggling with generic habit and brain coaching advice that didn’t fit how my often overwhelmed, neurodivergent brain works. Nigel helped personalise everything in a way that finally felt doable. What stood out most was the emphasis on kindness when things didn’t go to plan, and celebrating progress rather than perfection.
