Nicki Doane had a wanderlust that led her to India in 1991 to study yoga with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, and she started teaching in 1992. She cites Pattabhi Jois, Eddie Modestini, Gabriella Giubilaro, and Tim Miller among her most influential teachers. She is an authorized teacher of Ashtanga Yoga. Although rooted in Ashtanga, Nicki‘s teaching goes beyond the traditional. Her Vinyasa classes combine asana, pranayama, philosophy, and poetry. Nicki’s emphasis is on awareness: creating integrity within each pose that can be carried beyond the mat into daily life.
