Welcome to Vyana Vayu!
My name is Nicole Marie. I am a lover of God. I have been married for 42 years, a mother and home educator for most of my adult life.
I am the owner and operator of Vyana Vayu Yoga Studio in Caldwell County, Texas with over 20 years of experience serving families, groups, and private clients as a lifecycles educator and yoga specialist. Using a holistic approach, my client’s needs are addressed through yoga, meditation, sound, and lifestyle interventions.
My approach on the mat is from the perspective of the individual body’s unique needs; this means we begin our practice right where we are. The spine is the structural core from which we develop movement. The breath is linked to the movement which enhances the effect of the practice. If necessary, adaptation of postures creates the optimum functional benefit for each individual’s body. These methods work together to balance body, mind and spirit.
The practice I share embodies hours of training and personal experience with many yoga masters:
- Dr.Judith Lasiter – Anatomy of the Spine
- Donna Farhi – Asana Clinic and Intensive
- Leslie Kaminoff – Yoga Anatomy and the Breathing Body
- Dr. Svoboda – Ayurveda The Healing Science of Yoga
- Dr. Richard Miller – iRest/yoga nidra PTSD Military Protocol
- Chakra, Gong, Pranayama, Mudra Therapy with Mehtab
- Leslie Lytle
- Shakta Kaur Khalsa – Radiant Child Yoga
