Nikki’s teacher training was deeply transformative in both my inner world and the way I connect with others. Her authentic, heart-centered approach expresses the true meaning of yoga before even starting to teach anything. I left with a full heart and an eager spirit ready to shift into purpose. ~ Larisa

what will be expected of me?
Your commitment to and trust in the process. Attendance at all in-person and zoom sessions, completion of all group work, assignments, reports, and the final practical to a satisfactory level are necessary for accreditation.
Required reading list and materials will be provided two weeks before the first Zoom session. You are responsible for learning the material, either from your peers, view recorded zoom sessions or, for additional support to catch up, through private sessions with Nikki at an extra charge.
can I still teach if I have physical limitations or my body doesn’t allow me to access certain poses?
Absolutely! Every student and teacher is dealing with limitations in varying degrees and aspects. Understanding and accepting one’s own limitations helps to understand and accept limitations in others, which contributes greatly to not only teaching but to deepening one’s own practice. Yoga is a journey of self discovery, it is not about achieving a certain pose or level of flexibility, but rather cultivating awareness, compassion and inner peace.
