Nicki Doane Workshop







It has been a busy couple of months and I have been meaning to share pictures and tell you all about the wonderful time we had with Nicki Doane! First off, if you have never taken a class with Nicki Doane, TAKE ONE! Nicki is an amazing teacher. She shared so much with us, was extremely inspirational, encouraging, comforting and supportive. 

I have never stretched and opened my hips so much EVER! The feet, ankle and hip sequences are amazing and have really deepened my practice. I loved the pace of her class, slow and meditative. One of her quotes was, "The pose starts when you are ready to come out of it." I find that so true, not only physically but, it really becomes a challenge for the mind and that is where the mind/body connection happens.

Not only is she an amazing teacher, but a wonderful person. Nicki doesn't just talk Yoga but she lives it! I had such a great time over the weekend and look forward to having her back next year and I am sure a lot of you who attending can say the same!
