nykki poole

Nykki Poole spent a good part of her childhood in the dance world. She began studying yoga in the 1990s and soon became Bikram certified. After teaching Bikram for several years, Nykki began working with internationally renowned yoga teacher Ana Forrest in 2003. Ana gave Nykki the tools to help take care of her body through yoga, and taught her how to begin the sacred Native American ceremony of Embodying Spirit. Through the practice of Forrest Yoga, Nykki has been given the courage to dream, the support to believe that her dreams were vital, and the groundwork to begin the path of making her dreams a reality.

In 2002 Nykki was introduced to Dr. Vincent Medici at the Tao Healing Arts School in Santa Monica, California. At THA she learned to help others using techniques that were previously unavailable through the standard model of Western medicine.

Nykki has been practicing and teaching yoga for 15 years. Nykki completed her schooling at The Tao Healing Arts School in 2006 and has since developed a successful private bodywork practice. The same year, she completed two teacher trainings with Shiva Rea, and assisted Barbara Ruzansky and Ana Forrest with their groundbreaking Yoga and Eating Disorders Workshop at WHY.

My lifelong dream is to help others feel excited about their lives.

I want to know that I have helped someone look forward to getting out of bed in the morning, to see what life has to bring them each day.
