knowledge in many Yoga styles and healing traditions. In 2004 she received her teaching credentials in Anusara Yoga. With a background in Kundalini and Iyengar Yoga, and extended education in anatomy, physiology, and therapeutics, Nicole’s teaching encourages safe alignment, creative expression, and release of habitual tension in order to allow the life energy to move freely. Nicole strives to create a class environment that is peaceful, playful, spacious and supportive. You can expect mindful, hands-on adjustments and personal attention, unobtrusive meditative music, and therapeutic essential oil offerings for pranayam (breathing practice) or savasana (final relaxation). Her classes often center on philosophical insights drawn from her studies of Buddhism, Tantra, Ayurveda, Chinese Elemental Theory, Taoism, Nature, and the Human Condition. As a mother of two, wife, and self-employed business woman, Nicole is well aware of the demands of modern life. She is devoted to helping others find simple, natural, and effective tools to recover from stress, maintain balance, enjoy good health, and cultivate a liberated heart. With much gratitude, she acknowledges her gracious teachers, and her teachers’ teachers. Especially, Jim and Ruthie Bernaert , Carlos Pomeda, Katchie Ananda, and Alice Rocky. |
