Hot Yoga RTP Cary Morrisville Nikki Jones

Nikki

I look forward to teaching, learning & practicing with you! I grew up in the Midwest, consumed with classical piano & private girls' school. I studied chemical engineering & classical piano at Tulane University and subsequently moved to east coast (Boston & Philadelphia suburbs). After graduate school MBA, I got married and had 2 boys while working in the consumer products/pharmaceutical/vaccine industries. During these years, I physically stressed my body with piano, racquetball, long distance running, snowboarding and challenging childbirths (2 cesarean sections). Eventually, knee problems forced me to discontinue high impact sports. I reached peak stress levels when family members were diagnosed with cancer and mental illness. A close friend recruited me to Hatha Yoga (Bikram Method). Although overwhelmed by first few classes, I was surprised by the physical & emotional outlet, without the physical stress on my joints. After several months, I joined an awesome network of yoga studios called Twisters and my practice became stronger (less stressed, less fatigued, more patient, leaner). Within a year, my abdominal strength improved along with reduced swelling, scar tissue and numbness from c-sections. Over a few years, my joint ache, stiffness, hand/foot repetitive motion issues improved. I became increasingly intrigued by Hatha Vinyasa yoga and expanded my practice to include Hatha Ashtanga yoga (Primary Series). From last ~20 years to present, I give major credit to yoga for the mental & physical strength that I have achieved with 50 years living on this earth. In spring 2017, I was diagnosed with osteo-arthritis, but I am pain-free, and no knee surgery! I am so proud of being coached & influenced by outstanding instructors, practitioners & business owners in our global yoga community. I’m inspired and humbled on a daily basis by my yoga family. My mission is to share yoga with everyone who is willing to come & try. I’ll see you in the hot room... no fears … safe space. I hope to see you soon! Here are some of my achievements so far:

	SPRING CELEBRATION: Cacao Ceremony, YinYogaMeditation, SoundTherapy Getting Prepared, Setting Intention You may be curious about what you’ll experience. Each person’s experience will be unique. To have the most heart-opening and healing experience, set an intention, a clear and sincere statement about what you would like to receive. To set your intention, sit in silence and allow it to emerge from the ground of your being, not your mind. And if nothing comes, it is okay. Perhaps simply ask Mama Cacao to bring you the medicine you need most from this ceremonial practice. Reflect upon your intention BEFORE our session together, as you may receive messages in your dreams or during the ceremony itself. Understanding the messages and integrating these teachings will deepen your experience and healing. Gentle movement, yin-meditation & sound therapy will support you, mind & body. Here are example intentions: Creative inspiration Honoring of self (needs, love, acceptance, etc) Inner healing Trust, love for self and others Presence Wisdom and guidance Connection to self or those who have transitioned from physical body Insight and clarity What to Avoid Prior to the Cacao Ceremony Caffeine for at least 6 hours before the ceremony Dairy products on the day of the ceremony MInd-altering substances on the day of the ceremony: alcohol, marijuana, psychedelics, etc. Fasting 2-3 hours before the ceremony allows for the greatest connection and optimal experience What to Bring Water bottle Eye covers, yoga mat, blanket, cushion/pillow Small special item for the altar (this will be returned to you) Comfortable clothes (bring layers as the room will be about 80F) Journal and pen Health Precautions Antidepressants such as MAOIs or SSRIs. If you are taking a high dose of either of these medications, cacao is not recommended. However, if you are taking a low to medium dose, a regular or smaller serving of cacao is safe. If a doctor has recommended avoiding fermented foods, please know that cacao is fermented before roasting. Pregnancy and breast-feeding: There are no known contraindications of cacao for expectant or breastfeeding mothers. Serving sizes are based on trimester and a smaller serving is suggested for breastfeeding mothers until it’s clear how the baby reacts. Heart Conditions: cacao increases heart rate so if you are taking heart medications or have a pacemaker, a smaller serving is advised. Cacao also lowers blood pressure, so a smaller serving here is also suggested. You can also participate and choose to pass on drinking the cacao. Post-Ceremony Care Drink plenty of water with electrolytes to replenish your system as cacao is a natural diuretic Take a long, warm Epsom salt bath as part of self-care Reflect on your experience by journaling, reflecting, spending some quiet time alone, or being in nature We hope this has been helpful as you prepare for our upcoming ceremony! See you soon! If you have questions, please send text message to our studio (919) 410-7330 and we look forward to meeting you!	$80.00
