The Yoga Effect - Burnham-on-Crouch

Rhonda Clark

I would highly recommend this retreat day, everything from the warm welcome to the setting, to the wonderful ladies that ran the day. Everything was wonderful. Be a beginner or a novice it will suit all. I left the day, feeling better about myself & believe that my intention for myself will become a reality a very enlightening day

I have been going to Nicky’s yoga classes for a couple of years now. Nicky is a great teacher who is very welcoming and friendly but also very knowledgeable.
The classes have improved my flexibility and leave me relaxed and stress free and I always sleep better after a class.
Nicky teaches all levels from beginners to more advanced and creates a lovely atmosphere in each class.

I would recommend attending Nicky’s classes.
Nicky is friendly and approachable. She is good at explaining moves, assisting individuals and suggesting different levels of challenge.
Each block of sessions has a theme where we learn a mix of moves, try to stretch just a little more, relax and have some giggles along the way.

I'm 77 and joined Nicky's chair yoga group some months ago. It's great. Loosens joints and strengthens muscles and doesn't demand more than you're able to manage comfortably. Nice people and good fun too. Thoroughly recommended.

Nicky’s yoga classes have been a transformative part of my routine. From the moment you step into her class, there’s a calming, inviting atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease. Her approach to teaching is both intuitive and deeply compassionate, making it easy for everyone to feel supported, regardless of their experience level.

One thing I’ve particularly appreciated is the way Nicky encourages us to truly connect with our bodies. She emphasises alignment and breath-work in a way that has not only improved my posture but also deepened my understanding of how my body moves. Her guidance goes beyond just the physical practice – she brings mindfulness into each session, which has helped me find a sense of inner calm I carry into my everyday life.

What really sets her apart, though, is her ability to make every class feel like a retreat. The combination of mindful movement, meditation, and her soothing presence creates a space where you can fully disconnect from stress and reconnect with yourself. Nicky’s classes are more than just exercise; they’re a complete reset for the mind and body.

Each session leaves me feeling grounded, rejuvenated, and ready to take on whatever the week throws my way. For anyone looking to enhance not just their physical wellbeing but also their mental and emotional balance, I can’t recommend Nicky’s classes enough. She’s a truly gifted teacher with a rare ability to create a transformative experience in every class.

Posted by Sam Culf - I joined Nicky's yoga classes about 6months ago at Southminster. I was a little apprehensive due to having never tried yoga & not knowing anyone in the class. Nicky is a great teacher & immediately put me at ease. She demonstrates poses & moves for differing levels & makes the lessons fun. Thanks Nicky

My first ever yoga and ice Bath retreat, but it won’t be my last. As I only joined last minute, I was on my own but everyone else there was lovely and it was a truly relaxing way to spend a Sunday. Also, shocked myself how the breathing helped me stay in the ice bath for 2 minutes! Got such a kick from it, I have started every day since with at least two minutes of cold shower - I am an addict. Thanks Nicki and Carly for a great day and Ground Coffee House for a tasty lunch ?

Absolutely amazing experience!
From the yoga to the ice bath to the food! Thank you so much for for such a relaxing day. All the girls have a great sense of humour and make you feel so welcomed.
I'll be coming again for sure! Role on the next retreat ?
