About Nyk
Nyk’s enthusiasm for Yoga was ignited in 1998. A beginner’s Yoga class left her feeling so calm, centered and energized that she knew she had found her passion. At the time, she told her friends she was going to do Yoga forever
Nyk studied Yoga in the Teacher Training Program at The Yoga College of Canada, graduating in 2004 & has recently completed her Yin Yoga Teacher Training 1. Her teaching and personal practice have been influenced by many forms of Yoga including Iyengar, Anusara, Yin, Hatha-Vinyasa and Kundalini.
Her classes are filled with a variety of students -- many of which thought they would never be able to do Yoga because of inflexibility, injuries, illness, inexperience or even age.
Nyk’s formal education has helped Nyk develop a unique style that is all her own. Today she teaches an alignment-focused form of Yoga that can include the use of props when needed. If you can’t reach the floor, for example, Nyk has ways of making the floor reach you. Over time students feel aligned and supported, their body’s open and adapt into the poses to the point where props may no longer be needed.
With Nyk's guidance students enjoy positive Yoga experiences that contributes to their health, well-being and sense of vitality.
Small class sizes ensure that each student gets personalized attention adjustment or modifications needed. Small classes also build a sense or community & camaraderie among the students who actually get know each by name.
Today, Nyk continues to build on her knowledge and experience by attending Yoga workshops and teacher training intensives whenever possible. Ongoing education – combined with her daily Yoga and Meditation practice – has helped her expand her skill as a teacher and guide. In turn, this personal commitment has helped her enthusiasm for Yoga to expand, thrive and inspire.
Nyk Believes: "When We practice Yoga we are happier, healthier and more whole... and that in turn affects our families & communities so that others benefit from our practice as well! It's really hard to sweat the small stuff after a great Yoga class! I hope to create more peace in the world one student at a time, so they can go out and bring that peace to their worlds!"
