Yogactivity with Nicole Gibbard.
Description
To me, yoga is about life – your life – its not about escape, its about finding a way to stay, to be in the moment, to live in the moment.
Nicole was born and raised in England, spending her earlier years growing up with horses and other animals and enjoying many different sports as a child. Since 2000 she has been living in Zurich, Switzerland, where she managed a range of health clubs, teaching, presenting and educating students in a huge range of fitness programs, and yoga. Since 2006, Nicole has been working with Robert Steinbacher and Alexa Le – creators of the bodyART School, http://www.bodyart-training.com/en/, developing new concepts, organizing retreats, presenting at conventions and is currently the bodyART Educator for Luxembourg and England. She speaks French and German.
Her love for nature and being outdoors has fuelled her passion for hiking, cycling, snowboarding, horse riding, kayaking, swimming, camping and any opportunity for adventure. She shares her earthy, grounding and “real” qualities through inspiring personal training, workshops and amazingly creative retreats and fitness holidays in various locations around the globe. Nicole is currently project manager of TopHill Retreats – www.tophill-retreats.com in Ibiza and also offers various Yoga workshops and her own yOgAcTiViTy retreats around the world, including Ibiza, Italy, Iceland, Turkey, India, Sardinia and Switzerland.
yOgAcTiViTy retreats combine yoga on the mat with yoga experiences in nature, animals and always a little adventure, to really offer people the thrill and excitement of discovering themselves spiritually, physically and mentally in the most complete way during this unique Yoga holiday experience. By offering a carefully prepared schedule, which really allows people to experience their physical and mind bodies both on and off the yoga mat and through the food they are eating, these retreats aim to fully connect participants to their surrounding environment and to feel an immediate sense of belonging and well being as they are able to swiftly reconnect to nature and find balance and stability once more.
