Nicole Sweeney

Yoga Teacher

Crystal Heart Yoga

In 2010 she tried her first hot Power yoga class and thus began a love of yoga that continues today. Being an athlete Nicole was initially attracted to the vigorous intensity of practicing vinyasa yoga in a heated environment. Over time she realized that the physical practice was just the beginning. By challenging herself physically while maintaining ease and composure with breath, she could finally quiet the mind and find the space between Self and thought. Along with running and weight lifting, Nicole committed to a consistent practice of Power and Gosh 26+2 Hot style yoga for several years before deciding to enroll in her studio’s 200 hour Teacher Training Program. Her initial goal was to learn more about yoga philosophy and deepen her personal practice, but she soon realized that she enjoyed teaching and guiding others. In January 2018 Nicole began teaching Power Yoga at the Ashram Yoga in Bellevue, Washington, one of the premier yoga studios in the Seattle area. Nicole’s teaching centers on the mind/body connection with a strong emphasis on breath, alignment, and focus. She draws from her experience as an athlete with injuries and physical limitations to connect with students facing similar challenges.
