The teacher behind
NiyamaHome

Nicha

Nicha is a certified yoga teacher from Thailand, based in Chiang Mai, where she lives with her family. She has been teaching for twelve years — in that time her approach has settled into something quietly radical: every session she offers is private.

Why? Because the longer she taught, the clearer it became that the deepest part of yoga never happened in the crowded rows of a studio. It happened in the moments of individual attention — an adjustment, a word, a breath timed to one particular body. NiyamaHome is that moment, made into the whole class.

Pai, Chiang Mai, Bali

Nicha began teaching in Pai, the small mountain town north of Chiang Mai where many people first meet yoga. She went on to teach in Chiang Mai, and then spent several years in Bali, where most of her students were private clients. That is where the NiyamaHome way of working took shape: one teacher, one home, the whole hour given to one body.

Training

• 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training certified by Yoga Alliance
• Certification in traditional Thai massage
• Training in several other bodywork and movement modalities
• 12 years of teaching yoga — group and private

What makes her classes rare is the meeting of the two crafts: a yoga teacher with a massage therapist's hands.

Two ways of practising

In a private yoga class you move, guided one-on-one. In a Thai Yoga Massage you receive: a fully-clothed treatment rooted in traditional Thai massage and woven with assisted yoga stretching. Different doors, same room — a body that breathes more freely.

The name

Niyama is the second limb of yoga: the daily observances of care toward oneself. Home is where that care actually happens — not on a stage, not in a mirror, but in your own quiet hour. Put together, they are a small promise: a practice that belongs to you.
