Nikki started practicing Bikram Yoga five years ago as she tried to recover from a major hip injury. For three years she struggled after dislocating her hip and separating her pelvis. A former long distance runner, she kept pushing herself too hard and re-injuring it. “By twenty one I thought my athletic career was over. I couldn't walk without pain,” she says. She credits Bikram Yoga with her recovery, “I was able to receive the benefits and heal my hip. The yoga helped teach me about limits, and changed my all-or-nothing mentality”. “In life, people are on edge, everybody's mind is going a mile a minute; but yoga makes you stop. In our society taking time out for meditation is not realistic. But with Bikram it's a moving meditation, and we can get our physical benefit as well as our mental at the same time.” Nikki will be teaching our 10am class on Saturdays. She is also studying at the Tai Sophia Institute for a Masters degree in Applied Healing Arts.
