The Adore Yoga Story
Early one evening in Spring 2002, I made my way up the back steps to a little room above a pharmacy on Sydney's Lower North Shore.
As I entered a room with a grubby blue carpet and a flaking plaster ceiling, four women turned to smile at me from their yoga mats. I didn't know it then, but Adore Yoga had been born.
I can't remember exactly what I taught that night, but those women came back the following week and the class was soon filled to capacity - ok, that wasn't hard when the room could only accommodate 6 students.
As it turned out, that tiny room was perfect for yoga therapy. Other local studios mic'd up their teachers and taught fast paced asana to classes of 30, 40 and more. The students who couldn't or wouldn't do yoga that way came to Adore. Students with injuries, older students, those recovering from cancer, people struggling with body image issue

The students who couldn't or wouldn't do yoga that way came to Adore. Students with injuries, older students, those recovering from cancer, people struggling with body image issues.
As a certified yoga therapist, I carefully crafted programs that helped these students manage their health issues. Each student received the practice they needed, whether it was help with a frozen shoulder or support to manage depression.
These students told their doctors and psychologists how the yoga they were learning at Adore was helping them with their symptoms. Soon, health professionals, hospitals and community organisations were asking me to develop programs for their patients, too.
As these therapeutic programs flourished, I couldn't keep up with the growing demand. My vision was that everybody who wanted to use yoga to heal had would have access to a well trained yoga therapist, so I decided to train more yoga teachers to offer yoga therapy in hospitals, clinics and community settings. These trainings became Adore Yoga’s core offerings - accredited professional courses in yoga therapy and meditation facilitation.
Today, hundreds of yoga teachers and health professions come to Adore Yoga every year to learn how to use the ancient wisdom of yoga to solve the modern-world problems faced by their students and clients. Many of our trainings are delivered online, making them easily accessible to yoga professionals around the world.
My vision has stayed stayed the same - everybody who wants to use yoga to heal should have access to a well trained yoga therapist. If you share that vision, come and join our community of passionate yoga and meditation teachers.
“Nikola’s vision of Yoga is very special in the sense that she combines a deep knowledge of yoga philosophy and traditions with a great deal of personal experience with yoga in her own life. Studying at Adore Yoga has given me the ability to teach real tools to my students. The ability to combine Hatha Yoga, Yoga Therapy and Meditation in a seamless way allows me to understand the real needs of my students. Had I not studied Yoga Therapy at Adore, I might have been a trained teacher that would never really teach.”
