Who am I???

Hi! My name is Nikki Rogers. I’m a passionate yoga teacher with over 2000 hours of yoga training and over 6000+ hours of teaching under my belt. What started out as a love of movement at a very young age turned into a career over 20 years ago.

I grew up very active, dancing throughout grade school and high school, and eventually earning my BFA in Dance from the University of Alabama. My last year of school I received a full scholarship to the Harvard Summer Dance Program, and it was during that program where my body started to show signs of wear….

After college I moved to Atlanta and found a job working for the Atlanta Ballet. They were a satellite location for the Pilates Studio of New York, and as an ex-ballet and modern dancer, I was naturally drawn to the Pilates method and the idea of building long, strong, flexible muscles. At first, I took over as studio manager, but they were desperate for teachers, so soon thereafter I signed up for their 700 hour teacher training. That was the beginning of my career as a teacher. I absolutely loved it and felt I had definitely found my calling.

I discovered Ashtanga yoga around that same time, and I was immediately drawn into the physical aspects of the practice. And even though it was a great workout, I felt like there must be more to it than just a bunch of postures, and over the next 15 years I explored various different styles to see what felt like a “fit”. And it was during this exploration that I experienced some injuries that had me questioning the safety of some of these practices. I also suffered a debilitating neck injury, and after living with chronic pain for over 4 years, a friend of mine who was a Kaiut teacher convinced me to try it, and the rest, as they say, is history.

I experienced healing the doctors said wasn’t possible without surgery. I have no pain, and have regained full mobility. I have an understanding of my body that I never had before. My anxiety that was a huge part of my life was now manageable. I know now how to create a state of presence on demand, and this is a practice I know will safely carry me through the rest of my life.

I love sharing this practice with anyone and everyone who wants to live their best life! Let’s discover what’s possible…Together!!

When I’m not teaching or practicing, I’m hanging with my family and my fur babies, thrift shopping, and planning my next trip to the beach! I look forward to joining you on your journey to health, mobility and longevity!!
