I have to admit one thing first, I always find the term “body worker” to be somewhat amusing, but I guess that’s the industry standard, so there it is.
Okay, as some of you know, I have been working with the director of the Basic Cadaver Anatomy course at Bastyr University for the past couple months. [...]

A year ago, I took an Improv class taught by my friend Jed Rose, who’s on the ensemble with a group called Quiet Monkey Fight. After the series, we put on a show for our friends and family, and other willing and unwilling victims, at a theater in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle called [...]
Two years ago, when I decided that I would enroll in a yoga teacher training, I had no idea that I would be learning Sanskrit. Quite frankly, I didn’t even know such a thing existed, that’s how “not with it” I was. And now, I cannot be more glad to have been exposed to this [...]

In self reflection, I realized that I have developed a few traits over the years, like a certain sense of skepticism and snarkiness, all wrapped in a tongue in cheek live and let live perspective. I’d like to think that I can blame this on the years and years of reading websites like Gawker and [...]
Here in Seattle, there’s an indie alternative newspaper called The Stranger, wherein there’s a column called Last Days, which accounts for notable news of the last days in the last week, and it’s the inspiration for this blog’s format in Nikki Yoga News (NYN).
My Heart Will Go On
The 2nd installment of Intro to Yoga at [...]
The Yoga studio scene in Seattle is seeing some changes as we transition from February to March.
+ Om Yoga of Redmond is closing its doors after 2 years. Owner Karen Herold is an amazing woman for having a full time executive job, coaching her daughters’ sports teams, and of course, teaching and running a small [...]

Muscles 'n Bones, Oh My! As you know I am big into learning Anatomy and everything that facilitates our movements. The books from Ray Long, an orthopedic surgeon and student of B.K.S. Iyengar, are beautiful to look at and can be a great tool in your exploration of hatha yoga.
