Comfort & Balance

11/15/2025

I just want to take a moment to gush over my incredible Comfort & Balance students, clients, friends, and my own family, who came together to donate 36 electric shavers and some charging blocks for our Veterans.

You showed up with generosity, love, and the kind of community spirit that reminds me why I do what I do. Truly… you are family.

The shavers have officially made their way to our local Woodbridge American Legion Post 87 Family and Angela from the Women’s Auxiliary will be delivering them to the Menlo Park Veterans Home next week.

If anyone feels called to volunteer with the American Legion or the Women’s Auxiliary, let me know - I’m happy to connect you. They always welcome helping hands and big hearts.

Thank you for giving. Thank you for caring. And thank you for being the kind of people who make a real difference.

A Light for Anyone Who Needs It — Meet The Compassion Channel
During the forced isolations of 2020, when the world felt disconnected, heavy, and uncertain, I wanted to find a way to reach the people who needed comfort the most. Even though our doors were temporarily closed, my heart refused to stop showing up.

That is how The Compassion Channel was born!
A small but meaningful space created to offer Reiki-infused support, calming guided meditations, and practical tools for anyone who was struggling, hurting, or simply trying to get through each day.

I didn’t do very much with it after that challenging year… but lately, something in me has been gently nudging me to bring it back to life. I’ve been so touched to hear from people who told me these simple, genuine recordings helped them feel calmer, less alone, and more supported — and that encouragement has inspired me to reopen this space with fresh energy.

I mentioned the channel in class this week, so here it is for my amazing community…
my brilliant students…
my wonderful clients...
my Comfort & Balance family. 💛

Look, enjoy a meditation, and if called subscribe so you’ll be the first to know if I begin releasing new healing content.

This channel truly comes form my heart, it's a place you can return to anytime you need comfort, grounding, or a moment of peace.
I hope it brings you exactly what you need, exactly when you need it.

Welcome to The Compassion Channel! My name is Nikki and I am a Reiki Master, Certified Yoga Teacher, and Meditation Teacher with over 16 years experience. In 2012 I experienced a deep and profound healing from a chronic illness that I had for 20 years by using Reiki and other techniques that I will....

It only takes a little effort to make a big difference.

You can volunteer at your local American Legion or VFW, or support one of their fundraisers.
Veterans’ homes and hospitals are always in need of donations, and there are so many grassroots organizations helping veterans cope and heal after service.

Not sure where to start?
Message me - I’ll gladly point you toward a good fit for you.

If you’ve ever worried yoga might be too spiritual, too strange, or just not your thing - I promise, it’s not like that here.

At Comfort & Balance, yoga is made simple and real.
I use practical, science-supported tools to help you breathe better, release stress, and move with more comfort and awareness. You’ll learn how to use your own body, breath, and focus to calm your nervous system and feel more at home in yourself.

Sometimes we include gentle sound or vibration - a singing bowl, a hum, or a soft tone - to help the body unwind. We often add essential oils to deepen relaxation and soothe the senses.

But really, it’s all about self-love - slowing down, reconnecting, and giving yourself the care you deserve.

Everything we do is soothing and grounding, never “out there.”

No beliefs, rituals, or pressure to do anything unusual.
Just modern, accessible yoga that helps you live with less tension, better sleep, and a little more peace.

It’s not weird - It’s wellness that works.

💀✨ Hey Skeleton Crew!

Facebook hid almost all of our Skeleton Contest posts (technology, right? 😅).

If you joined our Skeleton Selfie Contest, please drop your photo in the comments below so I can properly include everyone before prizes go out!

I’ll keep this announcement up through next week and will also announce it in classes.

Now that the skeleton displays are down, please share your photo here so I can make sure you’re included in the drawing! The winner will be drawn next week. 💀💛

If you’ve ever thought, “I need to get in shape before I take yoga,” - you’re not alone. But here’s the truth:
You don’t get in shape to do yoga…
Yoga helps you feel stronger, more mobile, more connected, and more confident - gently and gradually.

My classes are designed for real people with real bodies:
people who sit at desks, raise kids, carry life stress, feel stiff, tired, tight, overweight or out of practice.

We take it step by step.
We honor your body.
We build strength, balance, and mobility from wherever you are today - not where you think you “should” be.

You don’t have to arrive “fit.”
You just have to arrive.

The shavers were counted correctly, and boxed and sent on their way to the Veterans home, but a name got left off our list. Michelle Cook your generosity and commitment to helping community is appreciated! I love your spirit here on the mat (and in the craft room!!!), and I applaud your generosity off the mat too!

Here’s something I’ve learned after 19 years of teaching:
**When something supports your mental health, your body, your stress levels, and your peace… you stop noticing the distance.**

People come to Comfort & Balance from all over NJ - and beyond (I have so many out-of-state clients for massage!) - not because it’s the closest studio, but because it’s the one that feels right.

This isn’t a big-box gym where you disappear into a room of 30 people.
It’s small.
It’s personal.
It’s warm, safe, and deeply human.

It feels less like “going somewhere far” and more like going somewhere that grounds you, softens you, and helps you feel like yourself again.

And when a place makes you feel that good - the drive becomes worth it.
