Nicole began her anatomy and kinesiology studies in 2000 while training as a massage therapist. She began studying at the Yoga Shala in 2002 with Matt. She holds a great interest and love for both yoga and anatomy, and especially with the relationship between anatomical knowledge and awareness in practice. She teaches both fundamental and in-depth anatomy classes at the shala, as well as teaching a gentle/restorative class based in her practice of shadow yoga.
