Nic is an export from his London (UK) hometown, now living in Hong Kong where he has been based for the last 10 years. Having attended his first Bikram yoga class in January 2012, Nic soon discovered the benefits of the practice for his physical, emotional, and mental well-being, which sparked a lasting and deep interest in the mind/body connection for bringing balance to his corporate, big city life. As a Banking Lawyer, based in a notoriously frenetic city, Nic has been eager to prioritize finding space for inner calm and reflection and to develop tools to help others in their journey to do likewise. If not in a hot yoga studio somewhere at home or on his travels, Nic can be found with his head in a good book, running trail or road races, browsing through record shops, or finding something to trigger a good belly laugh!

Mind The Gap Podcast
Season 03
Episode 09
In this episode, we discuss topics that every yoga teacher faces, such as being authentic to the yoga lineage and living yoga in a modern world. We talk about how the world of social media has changed people's perceptions of yoga and the accessibility and quality of what is now being offered. It's a very dynamic conversation, and I would love to hear your thoughts on it. As always, thank you to Bénédicte for being so open-minded. Even yoga teachers can agree to disagree on some topics :)
Bénédicte discovered yoga in 2013 while she was pregnant with her son. Since then, yoga has been an integral part of her life. She has practised various forms of yoga, including Prenatal, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Hatha, Yin, Bhakti, and Karma yoga. In 2019-2020, she underwent teacher training in Hatha and Vinyasa to share the mental and physical well-being benefits she experienced with others. She wanted to make yoga accessible to everyone and bring smiles to people's faces after Savasana. Bénédicte started facilitating yoga classes in 2020 and continued her studies in Yin yoga in 2023 to further expand her knowledge. She considers herself an eternal student in a lifelong yoga journey, where reading and questioning are part of her daily routine.

Season 03 Introducing Meghan Kelly Born and raised in Colorado in the United States, I grew up believing that I could achieve something for the betterment of this world. I feel blessed today to say that I'm doing just that.
My early career in marketing taught me a lot, but it didn't fulfil. Always drawn to a foreign land and with a dream of living abroad, I finally leaped in 2010 when I moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina, to finish my Master in Linguistics and start working as a teacher. Although the transformation journey began long before I moved, it accelerated in a new environment that surprisingly had so much to offer regarding healing and self-exploration. It was there where I discovered Constellation work, among other things and where I could dig deep into my life story and why things had happened the way they did. Surprisingly, I found there were answers too. The years in Buenos Aires were years of tremendous growth and transformation. It was a time when I could fully align with who I am at my core. As an Irish citizen due to my maternal grandmother, from this point, I followed the path of my ancestors back to Europe. I currently live in Brussels, Belgium, with my husband Gabriel and dog North.
I believe in lifelong learning, continual growth and the quest to know and embody our true natures. As an Integrative Therapist, my goal is to bring consciousness and a new perception to your life and relationships. So much of my work is about connecting you to Life, and this happens the more one can connect to one's true nature and self.
My approach is an integral one that includes the whole person - body, mind and spirit. I work with Family/Systemic Constellations & Ritual, Somatic Psychotherapy & Trauma Recovery, and Psychological & Evolutionary Astrology, for the clients who would benefit from it. Whether we work on the systemic level with Family/Systemic Constellations, on the mind/body level with Bioenergetics & Somatic Experience, with the world of symbols and the rich language Astrology can give, or on a level of spirit with all things combined, considering the whole person is vital for real and lasting change.
My pursuits have included both traditional and non-traditional educational paths. I have a Bachelor's degree in Marketing and a Master's degree in Linguistics. I have earned several certifications as a Family & Systemic Constellation Facilitator from different teachers and approaches worldwide. Most of my teachers have been first-generational facilitators, learning directly from Hellinger. I have also studied with and observed many of the biggest names in constellation work, including Bert Hellinger himself, Anngwyn St. Just, Stephan Hausner, Franz Ruppert, and Joan Garriga from Institut Gestalt Barcelona. A complete list of my studies and teachers is below.
In addition to Constellation work, I am a Practitioner of Systemic Ritual® from Daan van Kampenhout, which combines constellation work and shamanic ritual, a Bioenergetics Analysis psychotherapist, a Somatic Experience therapist and a Counseling Astrologer with studies from the Faculty of Astrological Studies in London & Casa XI in Buenos Aires, among other schools.
As a young girl, I knew I would be a life-long student and teacher. What I didn’t realise then is that it would be toward my own healing and that of others. The journey to self is the most important journey of all. It leads to peace, fulfilment, and authenticity. My work is for you to find and connect with these elements because, from there, the connection to Life has been made.
The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you really are. - Carl Jung
What you can expect from working with me: self-knowledge, self-acceptance, and self-mastery. More information about my specific qualifications is found below.

Anna discovered yoga in 2015 during a retreat in Tulum, Mexico, and she instantly fell in love with it. Since then, she's been practicing yoga all around the world, going to Spain, Bali, and India for trainings. Now, Anna is a certified Mindfulness teacher, Yin Yoga instructor and Crystal Bowl Sound Healer.
For Anna, sound healing was a magical discovery. The vibration and frequencies of the sounds travel through the body, gently releasing tensions. She recently added a wind gong to her crystal bowl collection, making her sound healing sessions even more special.
In her classes, Anna combines various practices such as meditation, yin yoga and sound healing to create a unique relaxing experience. She believes that being healthy starts by finding balance between the busyness of life and internal stillness. She cares deeply about her students and regularly organizes retreats and workshops to share a complete journey with them. Anna wants to make sure everyone not only enjoys the classes but also feels good in their whole being - body, mind, and soul.
Today she teaches weekly classes in her home studio LagOM Balance, at Mix Brussels and at Yoga Room. She also offers private classes and organizes special events. Today, she has launched lagOMwork to offer balance and relaxation in the corporate world.

Elena is the founder of The House of Yoga. She is Italian, but moved to Brussels in 2012. That’s also the year when she first found yoga. After several years of yoga practice and retreats, in 2018, she took a break from her then full—time job to take her first yoga teacher training at the Hawaii Yoga Institute. She soon realised that this was the path she was meant to be on and that’s when the first seeds of The House of Yoga were planted. In 2021, she decided to quit her job to follow her dream and write a new chapter of her life – teach yoga full-time and build her own yoga studio. To Elena, yoga has always meant finding balance in a life full of obligations and responsibilities; finding time and space to be more in tune with her own feelings and emotions. Elena’s classes are playful and energising flows. She believes she’s her best self when she’s on her mat, and wishes to empower everyone to access their true self through the practice of yoga. Her motto is “good decisions come from a calm mind”.
