Nikki and her assistants were phenomenal!! Anyone can share information but not everyone can teach a physically and culturally diverse group in a way that co-creates an engaged & dynamic learning community. There’s no questioning that Nikki is a master of yoga technique but she’s also mastered the ART of teaching. I’m beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to learn with someone who embodies the whole of yoga and not just the asanas — Ayla

Nikki’s training was beyond my expectation. I strongly recommend her training to anyone who wants to grow deeper in their yoga practice, and is interested in personal growth! The days were long but I felt energetic mentally because I was learning so much. Some aspects of the training that I found valuable: deep dive of each pose, hands-on assisting, personal growth conversations and the sequencing template. A huge side bonus is to get to meet other like minded trainees for connections beyond the program. — Amy

what will be expected of me?

Your commitment to and trust in the process. Attendance at all sessions, completion of all group work, reports, and the teaching exam to a satisfactory level are necessary for accreditation. Homework and short online assignments start a week before the immersion, and the required reading list will be provided to the group several weeks before the training commences.

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.
