“Yoga does many good things for the body and mind, but Nicki’s classes do something extra—they uplift. You might arrive frazzled and stiff, but her calm, flowing guidance gently brings everything back together.

“I have been a student of Nicki’s for several years now. Through her, I have returned to a regular and deepening yoga practice. Nicki’s class is always the right mix of manageable and challenging, which is what makes it easy to get to several times a week. What I especially like is how Nicki makes a big effort to get to know new students. I don’t know any other teacher who makes a more concerted effort to learn every new student’s name. In addition, through Nicki’s classes, I have come to know a dedicated group of yogis, many of whom I now consider close friends.”

“I started going to Nicki’s classes in 2023. I instantly connected with her kindness. Practicing yoga with Nicki has been a grounding experience. The softness in her voice during the practice is so relaxing, that it makes us forget everything happening outside and leads us inwards. Her classes are thoughtfully structured, with clear cues and mindful sequencing that make each session feel both accessible and deeply effective. I always leave her class feeling more balanced, energized and connected to my body. With every class, I know a bit more about myself. I’m grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice. She is supportive as a teacher and friend at the same time. As a yoga teacher myself, I am glad to have met a soul like her.”

“Having met Nicki at yoga teacher training in 2019, I’ve been able to watch her grow and evolve not only as a yoga instructor, but also personally. Nicki is a natural creative, which makes her teaching style fun! She has a thirst for knowledge and is adaptive, so she is always looking for ways to incorporate new poses, flows and wisdom into her classes! She also offers modifications for each pose, for those that benefit from them. Nicki is beyond genuine and is always thinking about others, which makes her classes warm and inviting for all. If you’re looking for a yoga instructor, please take one of Nicki’s classes; you will not be disappointed!”

“I met Nicki in 2022 when she was teaching a yoga flow class at our local rec center. She is a gifted yoga teacher, who creates a classroom environment that welcomes students at any level, balancing their desire to both challenge themselves, but also giving grace during difficult poses. One of my favorite expressions that Nicki taught me is, ‘Do your best, not your most.’ We connected quickly, as teachers, students of yoga and friends. I consider her to be a trusted guide through my yoga practice, and I am forever grateful that our paths met.”
