Nicole
Passionate Mover, Groover, and Life Enthusiast! My transformative journey into Yoga began in 1998, leaving me feeling rejuvenated and renewed after my first class. This pivotal day marked the beginning of a 24-year Yoga odyssey. Commencing with an Ashtanga practice, I crossed paths with my revered Teacher/Mentor, Shiva Rea 2002. In 2014, I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) with the aim of spreading my profound love for Yoga throughout the Fresno Community. The deep connection experienced when we collectively breathe and flow is what fuels me!
Mike
I am an avid martial artist and explorer of all things that are unique and interesting in life. Yoga helped me connect my body, breath, and mind in a way that is transformative. As my body got stronger, I also began to tune in with the subtleties of the body and mind, and how things are all interconnected. Having fallen in love with the practice of yoga, I decided to enroll and complete my 200-hr Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) in 2022 with the aim of deepening my understanding,
practice, and spreading this wonderful jewel that is yoga. I hope to see you all on the mat so we can all explore and enjoy this wonderful journey together.
