Your Lead Teachers

  • Nick Smith Yoga

    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 Gaia

    Yuki Gaia is an international yoga educator known for her work in energetics, intelligent sequencing, and music-led transformative flow. Her teaching blends movement, breath, sound, and grounded spiritual wisdom into experiences that feel healing, immersive, and deeply alive.

    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.
