What People Are Saying


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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I attended Nicky's 100-hour Yin Yoga with a focus on functional anatomy and Chinese medicine theory in 2019.  I was torn between two different options for yin teacher training, 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 in their classes, and 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.

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.

What first attracted me to Nicky’s Yin TT was her passion in spreading awareness about skeletal variation, and what that means for our individual, yoga practice. Over the course of the TT a mind-blowing universe of questions about asana ‘alignment’ opened - and Nicky led us through each investigation thoroughly, skilfully and practically.

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.

— James Gannaban, Hong Kong


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.

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 attended the 100-Hour Yin Yoga, Functional Anatomy and Chinese Medicine Training with Nicky Hadjithoma. It was a very comprehensive training with much depth and detail that was taught in very practical and memorable ways. Now, when planning my Yin classes, I have a very clear understanding of the possibilities of why and how one can structure sessions to suit the needs of different people. Nicky constantly related her instruction to practical application; she did not pay lip service to Practice, we witnessed it, experienced it and lived it for 6 weekends. Consequently, the concept of "functional" yoga came alive through participation that was fun and impressionable - enabling us to literally experience the learning that typifies Nicky's skill in conveying the aspects and essence of Yin Yoga.  

—Carol Farrington, Hong Kong


The training with Nicky was such an eye-opener. The module incorporated many different facets of yin yoga, TCM, the meridians, and even functional anatomy! It broadened my knowledge so much that it has helped inform my teachings, as I can now address students as unique individuals with different physical needs - and that compassion is what makes a teacher 'human'.

Another bonus - Nicky has a great personality! the training was brilliantly led and she kept us engaged, curious and interested the entire time. Thank you so much Nicky, for all the lessons!
