Taproot Yoga

    NicoleMalanaphy - YTT200hrI graduated fromTaproot's first yoga teacher training program! I also have a certification through "Kidding Around Yoga" to teach children's yoga. She has been practicing yoga for over 10 years but truly became passionate about yoga after her first child was born 7 years ago. Subsequently she had several physical and mental challenges she wantedto approach in a more natural and holistic manner.  Along the way she discovered the many benefits yoga can have on the mind and body. Yoga is a journey of self discovery and Nicole feels that through asanas and breathwork you can connect deeper with the many layers of one's inner self.  Asanas are a moving meditation and her classes willfocus on making a mind-body connection through movement.  Her goal is to offer a safe and loving environment for you to move, breath and flow and by the end of class you will leave feeling grounded, balancedand rejuvenated.  Off the mat Nicole also enjoys spending time with loved ones, listening to live music, being outside in nature and being close to water.  She's a sucker for a good book and a glass of wine and often can be found in her backyard next to a bonfire or soaking up some sunshine.
