Nikki Aubuchon
Nikki started practicing yoga just over seven years ago. She was dragged there kicking and screaming by a friend to whom she is endlessly grateful. She considered herself a yoga neophyte but enjoyed it enough to keep coming back to help her “get fit before 30” craze! Fast forward a few years, and she began working for a studio. Before long, she was enrolled in Yoga Teacher Training, and that was the final piece to the puzzle. Nikki is an E-RYT 500 certified instructor and is a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education provider. Nikki’s idea of a good time is good tunes, sweaty yoga, empowering energy, and chair pose!
Personal Mission Statement
I have personally experienced the transformative power of yoga. It is my mission to share opportunities with my students so that they might experience the physical and emotional growth possible while practicing yoga. By combining power vinyasa and good tunes, I set the stage for my students to flow into their own empowerment… And from there, lead happier and healthier lives which ultimately multiplies into a happier and healthier community and world.
Nadia Allmon
Nadia began her yoga journey in January of 2016. Her cardiologists had been advising her for years to try yoga in order to deal with her chronic condition. Finally, one day while lying in bed watching Friends re-runs with Girl Scout cookie crumbs all over her shirt, Nadia decided it was time to take control of her health. Not only did yoga make her feel stronger and healthier, but it transformed her heart and soul. She fell in love with the practice and enrolled in Yoga Teacher Transformation Training in 2017. As soon as she graduated in February 2018, she began teaching and falling more in love with the practice. Nadia has an RYT 200 certification through Yoga Alliance and teaches power yoga, gentle yoga, and leads meditation.
Personal Mission Statement
I believe that I have the sacred responsibility to be a vessel of love for others through inclusion, service, and joy. I provide a nurturing space for all, so others can step into their own empowerment, freedom, and truth. My greatest joy is to reconcile students back to themselves and to their creator or their own divine.
Traci West
Traci has been practicing yoga for over five years. She came to yoga seeking to add the physical benefits to her athletic lifestyle. Along the journey, she found she kept coming back for the mental and spiritual peace that yoga brought to her life. Traci has her RYT 200 certificate and loves a practice with a twist.
Personal Mission Statement
By bringing mindfulness into the practice, I help create space for the mind and in the body for those who need to free up their minds, listen to their inner voice, and find wisdom. I offer alternatives to habitual ways of thinking, use breath and asanas to challenge and explore preconceived notions, while inviting students to see space for change and growth.
Makaela Renfrow
Makaela stepped into her first yoga class about ten years ago with a best friend. After snickering about how funny they felt through the first few classes, she truly started to appreciate and fall in love with this practice that connects people to themselves and each other through breath and movement. Makaela knew she wanted to be a part of sharing this “yoga stuff” with as many people as she could. She finally got her RYT 200 certification from Community Yoga in 2019. Makaela loves sharing all that she has learned along this journey called life through the practice of yoga.
Personal Mission Statement
My mission as a teacher is to reach exactly who I am supposed to reach by being authentic. By encouraging my students and myself to show up no matter how messy it may be, to start again and again, we can breathe through anything.
