YOGA TEACHER

Nikki is an inspired and creative teacher with a passion for learning and a desire to offer her students the time and space to land, experience their breath and be present in their bodies despite the distractions of the mind. She is an E-RYT 500hr with more than ten thousand hours of in studio teaching and teacher training experience and is a Certified Integral Facilitator. She is a committed student of Tantra Yoga, which honours tradition in a way that's relevant to the modern world and that she has felt called to pursue.  

As a writer and storyteller, she loves the idea that a yoga class can lead you somewhere, that you can tell a story with body and breath and she believes the same well of inspiration she draws her stories and words from help her to craft meaningful classes that hold space for transformation. Whether it’s a couple of people or a crowded room, she tries to pass along the greatest gift this practice has given her, “Ultimately this is a practice of connectivity. It connects us with the world. It connects us with ourselves. And it connects us with each other. 

Nikki is a passionate advocate for diversity in yoga and in 2020 co-founded the Black Wellness Co-operative, a not-for-profit tasked with bringing wellness and wellness resources to BIPOC and underserved communities in Nova Scotia. As part of this path she has begun to work with local fitness and yoga studios in bringing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion training to their teams and dreams of seeing more people representing a wider range of communities and identities frequenting yoga and fitness spaces and in positions of influence over the coming years. 

She works hard to create spaces and classes that are accessible and inclusive and is forever in the work of learning how o serve more and more people through the practice of yoga beyond the physical.
