✨February Instructor Spotlight: Nicole Black✨
☀️ Morning Ritual
A hot cup of tea with my feet on the PEMF machine while I review the class plan and drop into intention for the practice ahead.
☕️ Coffee, Tea, or Green Juice?
Tea, always.
🥗 Post-Yoga Snack
Thirty grams of protein without overthinking it. A protein shake, salmon and rice, or nourishing leftovers.
🎧 Current Song or playlist Obsession
Music with positive words and affirmations. Spotify has become a joyful rabbit hole and I love discovering something new almost every day.
🌲 Off the Mat
Lifting weights, taking Barre class, hiking/biking in the mountains, or making/teaching art. Being a professional artist is my first love and still fuels everything I do.
🪷 Something You Might Not Know
Sandpoint raised, 22 years married, Mom to a 19-year-old, and living at the intersection of strength and intuition with a deep devotion to self-care and root level healing. I resisted yoga at first. I was convinced it was not for me.
💫 Three Words
Strong•Nimble•Grounded
🧘🏼 What Brought Me to Yoga
My friend basically has hassled me into going. I was an athlete who loved vigorous training and thought Yoga would be too slow and boring. Turns out I was completely wrong and fell in love.
🎓 Training
I’ve practiced yoga for 13 years and have been teaching for one. The community encouraged me to step into teaching, so I completed my 200 hour YTT with WE Yoga and the rest is history.
💛 Favorite & Love to hate Pose
Favorite pose is Skandasana also known as surfers lunge with a side body twist. “Love to hate” pose is reclined splits early in class. My hamstrings scream every time.
🌿 How I Want Students to Feel
Hypnotized, connected, grounded, filled with light, and a little more space and mobility in their bodies.
🕊 Biggest Lesson
Breathe through discomfort. Sensation is temporary. Breath and inward focus carry you through anything.
