Wellness without The ARTS is like only accessing one brain hemisphere.

Yoga Science gives us intellectual tools, while Nikki's signature dance class, The MOVEMENT provides an expression of these teachings through the ARTS, known as Natya.

Why Practice with Nikki?

From Pain to Power...

ARE YOU READY TO MOVE THROUGH CONSCIOUSNESS?

Nikki's journey has been anything but smooth. She is a survivor of childhood trauma, S.A,. and D.V. and had a challenging upbringing. Battling severe depression and striving to find emotional stability to balance her life, neither Yoga nor the Arts individually sufficed. Something was intrinsically missing. It was when she combined her passion for the love of Yoga with her gifts in the Arts that true healing began. Thus, this signature methodology was born from pain and shifted into transformative power.

Let your inner ARTIST meet your inner GURU.
