Nicole’s love for movement developed at the early age of 5 during ballet, which guided her to competitive gymnastics, cheerleading and performance dance throughout her teens, 20s and 30s. With these types of hobbies, stay limber and in shape was crucial, and was introduced to yoga at age 25. The practice began because of the need to stay flexible, but over the years, she developed a love and passion for yoga that goes far beyond the physical asanas. Nicole truly believes that it’s essential to embrace the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of the practice for optimal health, happiness and well-being. She has been practicing yoga since 2005 and has participated in the following trainings and workshops:
Zuna Yoga’s – 300hr Advanced Tantric/Hatha, Restorative and SUP Yoga Teacher Training Program – Bali, Indonesia
Annie Carpenter’s – Moving Through the Koshas – Hands-On Assisting Workshop – Sydney, Australia
Body Mind Life’s – 200hr Ashtanga/Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Program – Sydney, Australia
Body Mind Life’s – 50hr Art of Alignment – Assisting Program – Sydney, Australia
Rainbow Yoga’s – 100hr Kids Yoga Teacher Training Program – Sydney, Australia and San Diego, CA
Nicole brings a playful yet spiritual balance to her classes with essential oils, soulful music, yoga philosophy and meditation. She challenges students to go beyond their limits with core work, standing and arm balances, inversions, and hands-on adjustments and assists. You will leave class feeling blissed out…like your mind, body and soul took a holiday 🙂
