At some point in life, we all ask the question, “What should I do with my life?”. Sometimes, the answer finds us. Yoga snuck its way into my life, a little at a time, like water carving into stone. One fine day, I realized that no matter what else I do in life, I needed to teach yoga.
While yoga may seem like it has many definitions, some of which can be downright esoteric and elusive, to me, a yoga practice is a personal exploration of our own bodies and minds. There are a lot of yoga styles out there, and surely many on the way, I’ve chosen to focus on the fundamental principles of anatomy and kinesiology, providing tools and techniques for anyone–from any experience or tradition–to build a personal yoga practice.
I have three goals in my teaching: safety in the body, clear communication in the techniques of the poses and passing on the teachings yoga philosophy, and being very serious about having a sense of humor. I have a large repertoire of silly one-liner jokes that I hope you will add to. Find out more about me at Yoga with Nikki Chau, and I hope to see you in class!
