Nicole’s passion and commitment to the Bikram Yoga Method is apparent from the moment you meet her. She relates well with students, offering them the confidence and motivation needed to break through any barrier faced during class while helping them achieve the results they desire.
In the winter of 2009, Nicole walked into her first Bikram class in Bay Ridge. She was a little intimidated at first and unsure of what to expect. The lights came on, the instructor walked in, and within minutes she was hooked! “It was definitely one of the most challenging things I have ever experienced, and on some days it still is. Not one to respond well to discipline and known to get bored with anything repetitive, I was pretty surprised how dedicated I became to the practice. In five years, I have not once become wearied with any aspect of it.
Those challenges, the countless benefits I have received and the feeling of ‘walking on the clouds’ that follows each class is what brings me back daily. After a couple of classes I was relieved of chronic back pain, slept better than I had in years, and most importantly my mind was quieted. I found a great deal of mental strength, focus and inner peace, which was buried by day-to-day stresses.”
After two years of a daily practice, Nicole attended and graduated from the Spring 2011 Bikram Yoga College of India’s intense 9 week teacher training in Los Angeles, and has been teaching full time throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan , NY, and Naples, Fl.
In 2016 Nicole was trained and began offering Ignite classes to Staten Island. "adding this class was a perfect compliment to the work we have done in our yoga practice. “As a student, I know some days you might want to give up, you may have personal things going on that are hard to let go of, maybe even an old injury creeping back that prevents you from achieving your normal expression of a posture. But I also whole-heartedly believe, as both a teacher and student, if you try your best, the benefits received are unlimited.
