About Nigel
Brought up in Hertfordshire, as a teenager Nigel worked in Switzerland and then Germany, gaining a love of travel and foreign tongues. He then trained in hotel management and tourism and worked in these industries for a while. During a gap year in 1975 he discovered macrobiotics and Buddhism and was led twice to Machupicchu, but it was yoga that took over and for the next 7 years he studied and taught Sivananda Yoga.
In the 80’s Nigel went back to catering, running his own veggie restaurant in Essex and teaching vegetarian cooking, while dreaming of his next step, VegiVentures, a travel company based on healthy living and yoga, which he ran for 30 years.
In 2018, Nigel transferred his skills in yoga and natural healing to the emerging field of Gentle Chair Yoga, retraining with the BWY as a Gentle Years Yoga© teacher.
Next to yoga, Nigel’s great passions are organic food and gardening, green politics, singing, dancing round the kitchen and messing around in boats.
