Nikki
Instructor
A lover of movement and believer in its healing powers, Nikki is a certified yoga instructor (YTT 200) and avid dancer. Born and raised in Oakland, CA - Nikki's first movement class was when she was a tiny tot. Nikki has since lived and traveled across the US and Americas, learning new cultures, music, and styles of dance. Trained in ballet and hip-hop, Nikki picked up salsa and champeta while living along the Caribbean coasts of Colombia and practices salsa rueda weekly in Alameda, CA. Her love of movement is fueled by her desire to get out of her head and into her body. With a PhD in conservation science, Nikki seeks outlets to combat the fast-paced western lifestyle and embrace a holistic approach to overall wellbeing. She incorporates her zest for life and worldly playlists into upbeat and fun dance classes that are available to all levels. Nikki knows how important it is to cultivate community and strives to create welcoming environments where one can flow - moving out of our day-to-day and into our bodies.
