Nick Smith
Lead trainer | E-RYT 500 YACEP
Nick’s journey into yoga began after a career-ending soccer injury — a moment that shifted his path toward deeper purpose, self-awareness, and a lifelong devotion to movement and healing.
For over 12 years, he has taught internationally and is known for a presence that feels steady, grounding, and safe. Students often describe him as the quiet strength in the room — someone who helps you soften, focus, and grow with confidence.
Nick’s teaching is simple, intelligent, and deeply transformative. He blends clear sequencing, grounded alignment, and breath-led movement with modern anatomy and his love for Hindu mythology and ancient philosophy. His classes are accessible yet profound, helping students shift how they move, breathe, and understand themselves.

Yuki specialises in crafting classes and themes that shift energy, open the heart, and help people reconnect to themselves. Her style is intuitive, expressive, and rooted in space-holding — creating rooms where students feel safe, inspired, and willing to grow.
As the founder of Yab Yum Yoga Academy, Yuki has trained hundreds of teachers through her 200hr and 300hr programs, focusing on energetics, creative sequencing, modern spirituality, and embodied leadership. She is passionate about helping students find their voice, trust their path, and keep showing up — both to practice and to serve.

Ingrid Ngiau
Philosophy Trainer | E-RYT 200 YACEP
Ingrid discovered yoga in 2015 and fell deeply in love with the practice at Yab Yum Yoga, where she was introduced to its spiritual and philosophical essence. For her, yoga became a sacred anchor — a practice of presence, compassion, and grace.
Completing her 200-hour training in Bali in 2022, Ingrid has since expanded into Yin, Restorative, Meditation, Yoga Nidra, Sound Healing, and Reiki.
With over a decade in early childhood education, she brings warmth, wisdom, and a nurturing energy to her teaching, empowering both adults and children to move through life with awareness and authenticity.
