A typical class where you will move through sun or moon salutations, standing postures, seated postures, backward bends and a closing sequence. This class is appropriate for those who have a basic understanding of asana and who are willing to go a little deeper into their physical practice. This class will vary from more to less vigorous depending on the season. Although this class is called vigorous vinyasa there will be time and space for you to feel out a posture and modifications will be given, and encouraged to make this class more accessible. Niki encourages you to listen to your own body and develop the practice that best suits where you are in the moment. Leave judgement at the door and explore your edges!

Her classes are designed to find balance all while encouraging the practitioner to listen to their body and move with their breath in order to find a truly self-supportive practice. There is opportunity to challenge yourself as well as time to allow space for what you really need in class and in life. All of Nikis classes are interwoven with elements of Yoga Therapy. Niki also offers private Yoga Therapy sessions along with therapeutic groups in the Phoenix Rising method. When she is not in the studio Niki loves to explore the great outdoors with her pup Iona.
