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).

Nikki Chau — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 08:59:49 +0000

I know, the title of this post is a little on the sensationalized side. I’ll ‘fess up. At first, I merely wanted to make the title an eye-catcher. After doing some research and reading on this topic, however, I’m convinced it’s aptly named, and in time, I hope you’ll see why.

I’m also calling this post [...]

Transform T – A Shirt for Haiti

Nikki Chau — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 11:41:55 +0000

Tonight I found out that YogaDork was running a t-shirt design contest to raise money for Haiti, and I immediately opened up my Photoshop program.

I knew exactly what I wanted to do.

Lately, I’ve been out and about with the Christmas and New Years Festivities, catching up with friends, reflecting on the old days, planning, hoping, dreaming for the days ahead.

One thing that would undoubtedly come up in the conversation is yoga. “How’s yoga going?”, is a popular question. “Do you teach hot yoga?”, is another popular [...]

Taj Yoga in the Crown Hill neighborhood of Seattle is where I completed my 200-hour teacher training, where I’m currently doing my 500-hour training, and where I have spent many, many more hours studying and refining the craft with senior teacher Theresa Elliott.

Are You Practicing Real Yoga?

Nikki Chau — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 07:01:23 +0000

I admit, “Are you practicing real yoga?” is a rather obnoxious question. It’s probably like walking up to a woman, especially someone you don’t know at all, and say, “Are those real?” I’m gonna bet she’d get pretty offended and slap you in the face. (I will never have this problem, so I can only [...]
