About Niki
Niki’s yogic path began while pursuing a BFA in Acting at UBC, where yoga became a vessel for supporting their creative expression and grounding her life as an artist. With a personal practice spanning 25 years and 14 years of teaching experience, she brings a seasoned, intuitive, and deeply embodied approach to every class. Alongside their yoga teaching, Niki is a dedicated bodyworker with a focus on Ayurvedic Head Massage and is currently studying to become a Registered Massage Therapist.

Lineage & Teaching Style
Rooted in the traditions of Hatha and Vinyasa (with early influences from Sivananda and Anusara) Niki’s approach has organically expanded through ongoing study and trainings in Restorative, Yin, Therapeutics, Meditation, and Ayurveda. Her classes honor the roots of yoga while meeting students where they are, blending breath-centred sequencing with anatomical awareness and subtle, restorative depth.

Teaching Inspirations
Her teaching is shaped by a lifelong devotion to the arts and a deep reverence for the rhythms of the Pacific Coast. They are equally drawn to yogic philosophy, contemporary neuroscience, and the playful mystery of somatic awareness and inviting students into spaces where both curiosity and precision can flourish. It's in the interplay of arts and science, and in communion with nature, where Niki feels most alive.

Teaching Intentions
Niki’s commitment is to hold a tranquil, playful, and enriching space that supports spaciousness, ease, and unhurried well-being. She is passionate about connection through expression, whether in the studio, the kitchen, or around a creative table. They cultivate a practice that nurtures rejoicing, reflection, & reverence.

She has been privileged to teach throughout Canada, the UK, and especially in Paris, France, where her “Art of Rest: Restorative Yoga and Reiki” workshops were featured on My Little Paris’ Top 10 list. Niki is grateful and honoured to lead yoga classes on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded lands of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations on Granville Island.
