Tom

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Confucious

Introduced to the practice during injury rehab Tom experienced firsthand the benefits of yoga therapy, replacing medicinal pain management with Yoga. While regaining mobility of an injured limb was remarkable, the physical healing aspects of yoga seem rudimentary in retrospect. With practice, yoga opens doorways to ever deepening levels of awareness and becomes a guiding light on the journey of life. While the yoga path has led Tom to a teaching role, the revelation yoga offers keeps him a perpetual student of the practice on and off the mat.

Studio Manager and Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher (IYA), Tom teaches studio classes, individuals, corporate and community groups.

Nicole

"Transformation is sustained change, and it is achieved through practice."

BKS Iyengar

The discovery of illuminating mental calm and focus rewarded Nicole’s initial enquiry into yoga, extinguishing professional stress and unveiling her corporate role as an illusion. Here, beneath modern demands, was yoga, an open secret of how to access a deeper connection with the art of life.

Practicing the physical strength building elements of yoga revealed the benefits of improved posture, self discipline and inner clarity. Enlightened to the peaceful path of greater awareness, Nicole unshackled herself from long hours behind a desk, brewed chai and answered the inner call to walk the yoga path, qualifying as a teacher in 2005.

Honoring the eight limbs of yoga is core to Nicole’s role as teacher and guide, grounded in the foundation of regular practice on and off the mat. Nicole believes a deepened practice can open us to our full human potential and integrally connect us to the greater universe, the light guiding the yoga path.

Nicole Schroeter, Principal of Yoga Path yoga school, is a Certified Level 3 Iyengar Yoga Teacher. Nicole teaches yoga full time at Yoga Path.

Paula

“Yoga gives firmness of body, clarity of intelligence, cleanness of heart”

BKS Iyengar, The Tree of Yoga

Paula began her Iyengar yoga practice in 2015 at Yoga Path, Newport. Initially seeking a physical practice to support the demands of full‑time work and motherhood, she soon discovered something far deeper — a discipline that nourishes the whole being. Through consistent practice, she found growth, steadiness and gratitude that naturally extended beyond the mat into daily life.

Driven by a desire to deepen her understanding, Paula undertook teacher training under the guidance of Nicole Schroeter. She became a certified Level 1 Iyengar Yoga Teacher in 2026 and continues to approach the practice with curiosity, gratitude and dedication.
