THE FULL SCOPE OF WHAT SHE DOES
The more she wrote, the more she developed as a Yoga Teacher who could both hold space for transformation and teach classes grounded in the philosophical and spiritual roots of yoga, while also weaving a story with sequencing and words so that people liken her classes to having undertaken a kind of journey. A fiery and powerful teacher, Nikki has gained a reputation for teaching accessible and yet challenging classes, where people can discover in their own time what they are capable of, all centered around energy and breath, and often featuring meditation as a tool to truly carry the practice out of the studio and into the world.
Nikki is most passionate about teaching and mentoring other teachers and facilitates workshops, teacher trainings and mentorship programs with the ultimate aim of moving her local community more fully towards carrying tradition forwards while creating spaces that are more inclusive and diverse.
She has become a passionate advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion practices in yoga, fitness and wellness spaces and has expanded her work as a Certified Integral Facilitator to include talks, workshops and trainings in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion both within and beyond wellness spaces. All of her talks and trainings are rooted in the beauty and truth of her own struggle, and she weaves her own story into what she teaches and speaks about to impact and inspire. She has become a leader in the yoga community for this work and though she once found herself alone in yoga spaces as a woman of colour she now sees a number of culturally and ethnically diverse people in her rooms, in fitness and yoga spaces around the city, and most importantly at the front of rooms leading and teaching as well. If her legacy in the community could be anything it would be that because of her influence, leadership and impact, yoga spaces in Halifax became more diverse and inclusive and the industry more equitable.
Whether she is teaching, writing, delivering workshops or working in community, Nikki brings her creative voice, enthusiasm for collaboration, and unwavering passion to everything she does.
