Nicolette first fell in love with yoga in 2016. She found that the benefits of her yoga practice expanded beyond her mat and allowed her to keep a sense of presence throughout her day. This mindfulness allowed her to manage her anxiety and she was immediately hooked on this new way of life. Nicolette loves the way she’s able to simply breathe and move her body in a hot room, completely shutting off her mind and giving herself 60 minutes to just be. As a natural born leader and community builder, she knew she had a calling to share this blessing with others and became a 200 hr certified yoga instructor at the beginning of 2020. She also earned her yoga sculpt certification in 2020, trauma informed yoga training in 2021, and prenatal yoga training in 2025.

As a teacher, Nicolette’s main goal is to create a space for her students to experience these benefits if they need the atmosphere to do so. She does this by reminding her students to release the past and future from their minds as they flow through class, allowing themselves to be fully in their breath and body in the present moment. Nicolette’s energy is magnetic and she is deeply passionate about her love for yoga, her yoga community, and pursuing her life as a yoga instructor. Although she is energetic outside of the studio, her voice softly soothes her students into a meditative state inside of the yoga space. Her classes are full of creative transitions, fluid movement, and deep holds, which allow students of every level a space to play - to either modify, or take the asana somewhere further. With years of experience teaching in studios, Nicolette has had the pleasure of working with students of different needs, age groups, and experience levels. She loves providing hands-on assists and actively demonstrates and cues modifications or advancements for students of every need.

Nicolette’s specialty is in power vinyasa, as that is where she feels the most at home in her practice. Nicolette is excited to continue to grow her yoga community and share her practice with you!

“There is no doubt that Nicolette has a passion for what she does. It is clear from her personal growth and evolution as a teacher, that she has a strong desire to lead and change the world through this shared mind-body practice.”

“Nicolette’s teaching style has impressed me so much, as she remains thirsty for feedback, knowledge, and expansion within her own methods of facilitation. She remains dedicated to exploring new ways of moving, adjusting, cueing, and sequencing. It’s been such a privilege and honor to watch her grow and witness her enthusiasm through all the exploration.”
