Niki

Niki was living a high pace big city life in Stockholm, Sweden, when she discovered yoga. On the mat, she allowed herself to let go of the mind and instead just feeling and being. Quickly she became in love with the practice and after finishing her bachelor degree in human resources and psychology she decided to follow the yogic path and move to Koh Samui.

Close to nature, her Thai roots and the magic energy on the island she teaches yoga with the approach to open hearts, step out of the mind and connect with the present moment. During her classes she plays around with movement and breath, balancing strength with ease and trying to make everyone get a taste of the blissful feeling of yoga.

Niki strongly believes that yoga is for everyone and she encourages all levels to join her classes.

ANN

My name is Kanyanat Thongtod (Ann)

Yoga first touched my heart deeply and changed my life over 10 years ago. Since then it has given me even greater pleasure to share my knowledge with others.

My goal as a yoga teacher is for each of my students to improve their practice, so I tailor the class to challenge each student’s abilities. Just as important, I also try to make my classes fun and share my enthusiasm for yoga, so they will enjoy the class and want to continue practicing yoga. I feel privileged in helping my students become healthier, calmer and more proud of their bodies.

I completed my initial teacher training certificate in Vinyasa style at Bangkok Yoga School in 2012. I then visited Rishikesh, India in 2013 where I learned Hatha style at the World Yoga Alliance. In 2014 I completed a Hot Yoga Teacher Training Course at Absolute Yoga Academy, Koh Samui and continue to seek opportunities to learn new techniques and practice.

Bonnie

Bonnie started her journey of yoga in 1997 and soon after it became embedded, She fell in love with another side of her practice when she became pregnant with her son Max while living in East Africa. Her teaching style involves flow, breath, and heart-centered approach. She encourages joy in every session through a sense of lightness and humor. While she strongly believes that yoga is a personal practice, it can also shine superbly when shared in a group setting. Ego should be left at the door during her classes but a smile and a willingness to share in the experience are always welcome. She looks forward to welcoming you to this special space to share in yoga without pretense.

Bonnie is a certified Yoga Alliance 200 E-YT teacher and certified to teach prenatal, yin, Hatha, vinyasa and is the founder and owner/operator of The Yogarden.
