Nira Colyn, RYT200

Instructor

Ocala Yoga Center

Nira was first introduced to yoga by her mother as a child in the 1970's. In 2012, she started attending yoga classes to change up her workout. She quickly got hooked by the way yoga made her feel: relaxed, lighter, and peaceful.  Nira did her yoga teacher training on the Big Island of Hawaii at Yoga Adventure with Deborah Koehn & David Blehert. She received a Yoga Nidra Facilitator certification at the Amrit Yoga Institute in Salt Springs, FL.  Nira teaches yoga because it changed her life, and she wants to provide that opportunity to her students. She deeply believes that yoga is for everyone and for every body type. She tries to make it as accessible as possible to all of her students so that they can experience the profound benefits of yoga on the body, mind, and soul. It's important for Nira that people know that they don't have to look like the cover of Yoga Journal before they step into a yoga class, while doing the postures, or after leaving the class.Her greatest influences have been Humility, Gratitude, Deborah Koehn, Julie Jenkins, and Kristine Valentine-Miller.
