“I am absolutely going to recommend this training program to others. I think Nico does an amazing job teaching by example, and guiding her students through a deeper meaning of life. She is graceful not only with her movement, but her choice of words and her way of connecting with her students. I am so honored to have been a part of this class.”

“Yes! Absolutely! I personally felt like I was surrounded by such a supportive and positive community and I genuinely looked forward to coming to training every single time. I know that I would not have maintained the same dedication to my practice if I was not in the training, and know just how much more I learned and grew the past 5 months.”

“Since this training, I feel like I carry myself differently. I have found my voice, my confidence. I feel grounded and calm and actually have started to love the person I am, the person I was and the person I am becoming. I feel excited for the future, rather than hopeless. I have never felt that way, I have always disliked who I was and it has always felt distracting and debilitating. I want to put in the hard work and I feel motivated and energized enough to help others, as well.
I can listen to people, and actually understand what they are saying rather than feel distracted by my negative thoughts. I feel less angry at the world. I try to understand why I am getting angry or impatient before I lash out. I feel like I understand my ego a little bit better, and rather than being proud about how far I have come, or what I have accomplished or comparing myself to other people, I ask more questions. I speak up. I tell people what I am feeling. I tell people what I have been through and why I am the person I am. I love to try and understand even more about how other people's minds work and why they act the way they do, whether it is good action, or bad.”

“I would definitely recommend this program to others. If not just for the knowledge and confidence gained in practicing/teaching yoga, then for the sense of community and for learning about yourself in new/surprising ways.
My goal was to gain a more full understanding of yoga, to solidify my relationship with my practice, and to feel prepared for where such a class might take me in the future. All boxes checked.”

“Nico made the room welcoming, a safe space for questions and crying and messing up. Nico encouraged us to come up with our own thoughts and make sense of info in our own ways and never dismissed a question. Nico was just so obviously made for what she’s doing right now and it makes me so happy this was my first intro to a type of yoga training. It was really refreshing and inspiring to see her in this leadership role.”

“This training met all of my expectations plus gave me SO much more than I was prepared to learn. I am blown away with the amount of knowledge I have gained. It also gets me excited to continue to learn.”

“This training has opened my eyes to so many aspects of what yoga is. I didn’t expect to find so much spiritual and emotional growth with this class but it was presented with such an approachable attitude that I couldn’t help joining in. It also deeply changed my sense of community and sharing. I admit to feeling like an outsider to yoga when I started and had feelings of insecurity that I might not fit in. That changes dramatically and now feel that I can and should teach yoga to help those around me. I also really changed my perspective on anatomical concepts presented and my own practice has benighted greatly from that shift.”
