Bikram Yoga began for Niki after a devastating loss. For her, the yoga room started as a mental escape, a place where she could mentally and emotionally let go of everything else that was going on in her life. "I don't actually remember physically learning any of the postures, but I do remember the mental and emotional breakdowns and breakthroughs that I went through during my first months of practicing Bikram Yoga. I know that people, just like me, use this yoga to heal themselves, physically, mentally and emotionally. I am forever grateful for how Bikram Yoga has changed my life and I will share the beautiful gift of Bikram Yoga to everyone willing and ready to experience it!"

Niki was born and raised here in sunny Arizona! While attending ASU, Niki studied in Barcelona, Spain for 6 months, immersing herself in the Spanish culture. She earned her Bachelor's Degree in Spanish from ASU. (Her parents said she had to finish her degree before she could go to teacher training!) After graduating in August of 2008 she left for Acapulco, Mexico for Bikram's Yoga College of India Teacher Training! Niki graduated in November of 2008, and has been teaching full-time ever since.
