Nico is a 500-hour certified yoga teacher and international trainer who has been teaching since 2003. A born storyteller and curious mover, he has followed a wide path—from travels across India to acting stints and running a successful studio—always seeking how to meet life fully, one breath at a time.
His teaching blends the heart of Eastern philosophy with the clarity of functional anatomy. Eclectic by design, Nico draws from Hatha, Anusara, Vinyasa, Yin, Power Yoga, and Pilates, translating complex ideas into accessible, embodied practice. Grounded and practical, he sees yoga not as separate from life but as a way of living—where insight, resilience, and compassion are trained on the mat and carried into everyday moments.
Nico’s classes invite inquiry and courage: to question old patterns, to remain open, and to take a chance on yourself. The aim is transformation that feels honest—less performance, more presence.
He makes his home in Switzerland, teaches and gardens at Occitania Retreats in the south of France, and shares his work globally. You can practice with Nico on Gaia or check out his traveling schedule here.
“Nico is not only a phenomenal yoga teacher. His breadth of knowledge on philosophy and history is remarkable. With his own twist and love of the subject he is able to captivate us with his enthusiasm and stories. I would recommend his teachings to anyone considering his training. His warmth and genuine personality has been pivotal in my life, on my journey to becoming a yoga teacher.”
