| Nykki Poole
spent a good part of her childhood in the dance world. She began studying
yoga in the 1990’s and soon became Bikram certified. After teaching Bikram
for several years, Nykki began working with internationally renowned yoga
teacher Ana Forrest in 2003. Ana gave Nykki the tools to help take care of
her body through yoga, and taught her how to begin the sacred Native
American ceremony of Embodying Spirit. Through the practice of Forrest
Yoga, Nykki has been given the courage to dream, the support to believe
that her dreams were vital, and the groundwork to begin the path of making
her dreams a reality. In 2002 Nykki was introduced to Dr. Vincent Medici at the Tao Healing Arts School in Santa Monica, California. At THA she learned to help others using techniques that were previously unavailable through the standard model of Western medicine. Nykki has been practicing and teaching yoga for 15 years. She met Barbara Ruzansky in 2003 when they participated in Ana Forrest’s yoga teachers’ foundation training together. Nykki went on to complete her schooling at The Tao Healing Arts School in 2006 and has since developed a successful private bodywork practice. The same year, she completed two teacher trainings with Shiva Rea, and assisted Barbara Ruzansky and Ana Forrest with their groundbreaking Yoga and Eating Disorders Workshop at WHY. Nykki’s lifelong dream is to help others feel excited about their lives. “I want to know that I have helped someone look forward to getting out of bed in the morning, to see what life has to bring them each day." |
