Hey everybody,
I’m writing about the Cadaver course at Bastyr University again to stimulate interest for those who haven’t heard of it, and remind those who have. I’m also asking for your help to let the whole town know about it.
What this is
As a yoga teacher I consider it my moral obligation to continue to learn [...]
Tomorrow, I’ll be pulling myself out of bed at the crack of dawn, make some coffee, and head over to my friend Olivia Esuabana’s house. We will then make a 3-hour road trip to Portland, Oregon to see Gary Kraftsow, who’s been there all week doing a workshop on Optimal Health from a Viniyoga perspective.
I’m [...]
I have had a really hard day of traveling, starting off with a mobile boarding pass crashing, some poor planning on my part, some technology failure, long lines at the airport, missing a flight, working with the general anxiety of the consequences of running around worrying about the potential fees I’d have to pay, wondering [...]
This weekend, I’m taking a workshop on Thai Yoga Massage and Reflexology for the feet and lower legs with Eric Spivack, who’s a certified Thai Massage and Viniyoga instructor.
I don’t have any intention of becoming a massage therapist or doing Thai Yoga massage, but I do have a long-running fetish for learning as much as [...]
This weekend, there are two major events for me: 1) Learning Vedic chanting with Sonia Nelson, and 2) the US soccer team plays Ghana.
I’m two percent distressed that I won’t be able to do 2) due to timing and the scheduling of 1). That’s right, all weekend, from Friday night to Sunday afternoon, I’ll be [...]

Traumatic brain injury is considered the “signature injury” of soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. An [...]
This weekend I’m spending Saturday and Sunday in a workshop with Dr. Robert Svoboda & Dr. Scott Blossom, and Dr. Claudia Welch at 8 Limbs Yoga in Seattle. Today was the first day, where we first listened to a talk by Dr. Svodoba about the nature of prana, then Scott Blossom lead us through a [...]
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 [...]
This is another video in the New Yoga Teacher to New Yoga Teacher series, part of my work to support new yoga teachers. Here I talk about how to deal with both good days and bad days, and yes, they do happen. As they say about riding and laying down a motorcycle: it’s not a [...]

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.
