Welcome to my page about Yoga, Ayurveda and Energy Work. It's the place where it all comes together. Welcome to Nic Watson Wellness.

Originally from Edinburgh, Scotland, Nicola Watson is an integrative wellness practitioner, yoga and meditation teacher, Ayurvedic educator, Registered Polarity Practitioner, Fascial Stretch Therapy practitioner, mentor, and program leader. Since 2009, Nic has supported people through periods of growth, change, healing, and reinvention. Her work brings together deep yogic knowledge, Ayurveda, energy work, meditation, psychology, and fascial-based movement to create a highly personalized approach to wellbeing. Nic specializes in helping people reconnect with their bodies, understand the patterns shaping their lives, and create meaningful, sustainable change. She works with private clients through tailored six-week programs designed around their individual goals, whether they are seeking greater mobility, renewed energy, emotional steadiness, clarity during a life transition, or support in growing their work and business. Alongside her private practice, Nic teaches group classes and workshops, develops and leads Yoga Teacher Training, mentors teachers, and helps shape integrative wellness programming and client experiences at Samata Wellness. Her teaching is rooted in the ISHTA Yoga lineage, where she continues to study with Alan Finger, and is informed by many years of study in Ayurveda, Polarity Therapy, energy healing, meditation, and embodied movement. She is a 500-hour certified yoga teacher and holds a master’s degree in Psychology. Nic creates a space that is thoughtful, intuitive, practical, and deeply human. She brings warmth and humor to reflective work, helping clients gently investigate the roots of their challenges, recognize their strengths, and move forward with greater confidence and connection. Her belief is simple: with the right support, clear intention, and committed practice, profound change is possible.

A Space to Be Held 🤍

There are moments in life when everything changes in an instant.

Hearing the words “You have cancer” is one of them. Whether it's your own diagnosis or that of someone you love, the shock can be overwhelming. Suddenly, the world you knew feels different. There is fear, uncertainty, vulnerability, and so much to process.

I know this because I've walked this path myself.

Through my own journey, I've come to understand that healing isn't always about doing more. Sometimes it's about allowing ourselves to soften, to rest, to be supported, and to simply be.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I'm inviting you to join me at Samata for a gathering that is deeply personal to me.

Through gentle yoga, breath, stillness, and connection, we'll create a space to honor our stories, our resilience, and one another.

Saturday, October 24 | 2–4 PM
Samata Yoga Studio, Livingston, NJ

This donation-based gathering supports Mary's Place by the Sea, a beautiful organization offering rest and care to women navigating cancer.

Whether you've experienced breast cancer yourself, love someone who has, or simply want to offer your support, you are welcome.

Because sometimes the most healing thing of all is knowing we don't have to walk the path alone.

With love,
Nicola 🤍

As the seasons turn, what are is going to continue to inspire you as the days grow darker and the nights grow colder? ✨

Join me this Sunday at 4 pm at Samata Yoga for Journey of the 12 Moons: Aries Yoga Nidra. Aries brings the spark of a new beginning—a match struck to light the way. Come rest, reconnect with yourself, and listen for what’s ready to grow.

This will be the perfect antidote to all the excess of the summer and start a new journey with a community that values, rest, intuition, creativity and nervous system self-care.

All are welcome.

End of an awesome week yp in Canada training in fascial stretch therapy - a new way to help people feel better, look better and move with ease… no more morning stiffness and better sleep this week ! Can’t wait to see how it plays out in my yoga poses !!!!

What’s happening this week and why am I in Canada 🍁? I’m here to learn how to help people who have tension in their fascial body - thats the personal matrix that you live in. When it’s tight, restricted and perhaps damaged through surgery, we feel limited. FST can help with that and that’s what I’m here to learn. Looking forward to sharing this new modality when I get back 🙏

I’ve been quiet for a while because THIS is what I’ve been up to : deep diving into with those who want to go deeper with yoga learning as a way to move the needle in their personal,client and business relationships. My joy is being able to share all the wisdom I’ve gathered over the year through personalized programs specially created. If you’re interested in an interview to work with me and hear what I would curate for you, pop on by and book a session….

Come and Lie down this Weekend...
Under the luminous glow of the Full Moon — a rare Blue Moon in Sagittarius — we are invited to pause, breathe, and listen inward.

Sagittarius energy asks us to expand beyond old stories, reconnect with our inner truth, and open to the wisdom that lives beneath the noise of everyday life.

Join me this Sunday at 4 PM for a deeply restorative Full Moon Yoga Nidra practice — a guided journey of rest, release, and renewal.

Come as you are. Bring a blanket, an open heart, and anything you are ready to soften, surrender, or call in.

Full Moon Yoga Nidra
Sunday at 4 PM
A sacred pause for your nervous system, your spirit, and your becoming. 🌕✨

I just proved my beliefs wrong - my mind told me- you’re too old, you can’t change, it’s useless, you don’t need this … my body said - let’s see … 6 weeks of strength training twice a week is bringing me back to life and revitalizing my yoga practice like never before. Today I held crow pose so solid and handstand could even come off the wall one day if I keep it up ! Watch this space and thanks to the samata / Jd fitness team most of all for encouraging me and making me pick up the weights !

Heading back to to share all the good juice from my Ayurvedic deep dive yoga geek training in Florida with my teacher Sarah and Alan finger of ISHTA.
