"Nikki has this magic about her teaching: light and airy, non-intrusive and increadibly calming. It was always so comfortable and enchantingly tranquil to just simply be in her presence, to slowly look inward under her careful and mindfuly soft guidance."

"I was blessed to have Nikki Smith as my yoga instructor at Green Monkey for over a year. When she would enter the studio you could feel her presence and her calm demeanor would wash over you. Starting class with a smile her energy was contagious, you saw a small yoga instructor but her strength shows through with a powerful connection to breath and the practice. Her words showed kindness, light and happiness but having taken her power vinyassa and gentle flow the energy in her words and in the flow really connecting you to the moment and the poses. Nikki is a real gift as a yoga instructor, her peace, patience and enthusiasm reaches all her students and you leave her class with your body, spirit and mind refreshed as well as encouraged to come back for the next experience. I can’t tell you how much I truly love her classes and the attention that she gives to each person and each class either it is power or gentle flow my yoga postures have improved with her adjustment and my mind and spirit left nourished with peace and kindness all from an hour with Nikki."

"Nikki is one of the best yoga teachers I've ever had (after having various instructors in Los Angeles and San Francisco!) Her classes always created another place for me from the hustle and bustle of the "outside world", and I always left her classes feeling rejuvenated in every way. The music, her voice, the flow..it's perfect."

I highly recommend joining her in practice, you will not be disappointed!"
