Shellie K
Hi, I'm Shellie, the proud owner of The Nook. In 2019, I took a leap of faith and left my financial career to create a sanctuary for yoga, friendship, and mindfulness. With the loving support of my wonderful husband David, who built The Nook, my dream became a reality. I'm a certified 200-hour Vinyasa and Hatha yoga teacher, as well as a 60-hour Children's Yoga instructor. David, our dog Fletcher, and I live on a charming wide-beam boat. I believe yoga is for everyone and should always be fun!

Tracie Gaston
Hi, I'm Tracie! I've been practicing various styles of yoga for the past 30 years. I hold a 230-hour teaching certificate in Core Strength Vinyasa yoga because I'm passionate about maintaining a safe yoga practice as I age. I also love helping others stay balanced, strong, and flexible during our "queenager" years! Besides yoga, I work in training, am a wife and mom, and enjoy trail-running with my beautiful golden retriever, Rosie.

James Aubury
I started yoga regularly in 2015 and haven’t looked back. I’ve trained in Ashtanga, Hatha, Vinyasa, and Yin, completing my 200-hour certification in 2020. I’ve also done breathwork and flexibility training, and I’ve completed my 100-hour Meditation Teacher certificate. Outside of yoga, I’m an IT guy, runner, and family man.

Christine Cox
Hi, I’m Christine, a dedicated yoga instructor with certifications from the British Wheel of Yoga and Yoga Alliance (200 hours). I specialise in Vinyasa Flow, Ashtanga, and Vinyasa Therapy, and I believe anyone can practice yoga. Currently, I’m completing my 500-hour Advanced Training to further deepen my expertise.
