Nikki teaches a physically rigorous vinyasa class, where students are guided through complex asana sequences that manipulate the physical body in a way that will ultimately free your spirit and your mind. Her goal is to help you find freedom in the most challenging of asanas through a disciplined, intelligently sequenced, alignment based flow that will prepare you both physically and mentally to explore deeper variations later in class. She will show you how to turn a creative and innovative vinyasa sequence into an intimate dance with your breath. She is attracted to the ability yoga has to combine precise physical movement, intelligence, and intention into one sweaty, uplifting experience. She was certified at Laughing Lotus collage of yoga. and names Schuyler Grant and Alison Novie of Kula Yoga amongst her greatest influences.

Nine years later she can definitely touch her toes, and is helping others to get deep within their bodies. Jillian has been teaching privately for four years, and has been teaching at Kula Yoga Project for the past three, where she guides students through creative "kula flow" classes which are strongly influenced by her asusara knowledge.
