The Misfits
Nic - yoga teacher and founder
Hi, I'm Nic. I teach yoga and I live in Brighton. Despite the cliches about yoga teachers, I am neither super zen nor super skinny, and I'm useless at meditating. I do love yoga though, and practiced sporadically for years before committing to daily practice and then teaching training in 2017.
I have a 500 hour yoga teacher training qualification through Yoga Professionals and the YMCA, and spend a geekily large amount of time working on my own practice and the best ways to make yoga accessible to all students.
Favourite yoga pose: Simhasana/Lion - come on, a roomful of people simultaneously sticking their tongues out is funny.

Ellie - communications whizz and yoga enthusiast
Hi, I’m Ellie. I’m a writer by trade and I have been an amateur yoga enthusiast ever since I bought Geri Halliwell’s yoga video on VHS circa 2001. Since then I’ve been through intense phases of Bikram, done yoga in India, and been lucky enough to have some private coaching from Nic. You’ll mostly find me helping out with the Misfit blog/newsletter, and probably wearing a kaftan while I give out homemade snacks at workshops.
Favourite yoga pose: Does a hungover child’s pose count? OK, I’m also fond of Pigeon.
Duchess - top dog
Hi, I'm Duchess and I live with Nic. I like watching her practice yoga, though I'm still not sure what all that strange stretchy bendy stuff is about.
Favourite yoga pose: Downwards facing human
