Certified Kundalini Yoga Instructor and Shiatsu Therapist. Originally from Toronto, Canada Nigel has studied many disciplines in the healing arts, including: Shiatsu Therapy training with Master Mitsuki Kikkawa; Reiki, CranioSacral, and Healing Through the Human Energy Field, with Barbara Ann Brennan. He has been teaching Kundalini Yoga since 1996.

Nigel has an extensive background in shamanic studies, including plant spirit medicine, sweat lodge, psychodrama and trance dance. He has studied with masters from many traditions, including: Wilbert Alix (TranceDance), Elliot Cowan (Plant Spirit Medicine), and Harold Dull (Watsu, Tantsu). Having studied theatre and contact improvisation (dance) for many years, Nigel applies his love of improvisation and spontaneous creation, to all healing ceremonies. His love of Naad Yoga (Sound Current and Vibration) has led Nigel to compose original music for mantras and sacred songs.
