About Niccola
In 2002, Niccola moved from Rhode Island to Chicago to flee an abusive relationship and it’s there that she found the practice of yoga. Looking for healing and recovery, she truly discovered herself and was on a journey to study more while educating others of yoga’s benefits and beauty.
She took her first trip to India in 2005 and when she came back, she met her teacher Tim Miller and traveled back and forth to California to study with him until finally moving there in 2011. She has had a daily Ashtanga practice for 20 years and the ritual is one she maintains not only for its physical benefits, but for mental clarity.
After moving to California, she noticed there wasn’t much yoga for seniors or those who are disabled so she created an inclusive Chair Yoga program which has grown immensely. She also offers it virtually to students worldwide through her website and via Zoom.
She is fond of telling students that “wherever you are in your practice is exactly where you need to be” and is honored to still be teaching yoga decades later. Her teachings are rooted in compassion, consistency and humor and it’s a joy for Niccola to work with people so intimately and connect in such a unique way through the practice.

A chef’s wife/ yoga teacher’s guide on how NOT to make an “asana” out of yourself… off the mat and in the kitchen!
Na-MAMA-ste
I’ve yet to officially announce on my blog that I’m seven months pregnant (yeah sorry about that!) and I’m doing great in case you were wondering. I know, I’m as shocked as you are if you didn’t know it already! I still don’t even really feel pregnant with the exception of all the kicking going on inside of me and the fact that I have to pee all the time. Andy keeps asking me to give him something like “some tears, a food craving, a complaint,” anything to prove that I’m really creating life but unfortunately, I’ve got nothing for him! My doctor says I’m not normal since I haven’t had any of the typical side effects like nausea and exhaustion etc etc. I like to think it’s all the yoga and the fact that I am always on the go. Everytime I go to an appointment and my doctor listens for the baby’s heartbeat she says, “this kid never stops moving” so I’m thinking he or she will be exactly like me! read more…
