TEAM

Nikki Massaioli is the founder and director of Yoga To Go, Centre of Health and Wellbeing, a multi-modality holistic yoga centre in Sydney that is dedicated to the pursuit of health, balance and transformation.

Her vision is simple but powerful: to share the transformative powers of yoga that she has experienced first hand.

Nikki began practicing yoga at nineteen. Now, nearly fifteen years later, her vitality and wellness she attributes largely to her daily yoga practice.

“Yoga is the most profound tool for growth, healing and self-transformation,” she says. “The practice creates space, freedom, courage and tenacity within.”

Prior to starting Yoga to Go in 2002, Nikki studied with senior teachers in Australia, completed the Yoga Arts Teacher Training, and she has since gained certification as an Iyengar Yoga teacher.

As well as teaching at her flourishing centre in Petersham, Nikki leads local Australian and International retreats, workshops and intensives. Her teaching style is equal parts dynamic and nurturing, passionate and caring. “The best thing about teaching is sharing the gifts of yoga,” she says.

Nikki is a devoted mother of two and when not teaching or practicing yoga she loves to let loose on the living room dancefloor with her two young children.

YOGA-TO-GO’S RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL AND TOURISM POLICY

Yoga-to-Go’s Australian and international retreats offer individuals the opportunity to enhance their health and well being in luxurious and natural surroundings.

This involves traveling to different destinations, each with their own unique environmental, cultural and economic conditions.

Our Responsible Travel and Tourism Policy is a clear demonstration of our commitment to the sustainability of each of the places we visit, and respect for those who live there. As part of every retreat we will:

· Minimise our global warming impact by making all our retreats carbon neutral.

· Protect pristine natural environments by not littering and respecting local vegetation, sea life and wildlife.

· Respect local customs and regulations by meeting all necessary dress and behavioural expections.

· Contribute to the communities we visit by buying local and through out philanthropic activities.

At Yoga-to-Go we value the people and places we visit though our retreats, just as we value the individuals who participate.

Below are a set of guidelines we apply to fulfill our policy guidelines.

ENVIRONMENTAL GUIDELINES

Your participation in a Yoga-to-Go retreat will be 100% carbon neutral.

Included in the cost of each of our retreats is an accredited carbon offsetting program that we have been developed through the Australian company, Carbon Planet.

This means that we will calculate the amount of carbon dioxide that will be generated from your travel, accommodation and activities and offset this by investing in Carbon Planet’s fully certified carbon credit schemes. These include the purchase of, and caring for trees, and the installation of energy saving light bulbs and showerheads.

Each carbon credit purchased will see 1 tonne of carbon dioxide being stored for at least 100 years. Full details of how the carbon offsetting scheme works is available at http://www.carbonplanet.com/campaigns/yogatogo

In addition to reducing our global warming impact, Yoga-to-Go requires all participants in our retreats to help protect the many different environments you will be experiencing. These include:

· No littering

· No touching or removal of coral

· No touching or removal of wildlife or sea life without permission or authorisation

· Minimisation of all waste.

We also use 100% recycled paper in all our course materials.
