As a certified barre and Pilates instructor, I specialize in low-impact, high-intensity workouts designed to strengthen, lengthen, and sculpt the body.

While living in East Africa as a Peace Corps Volunteer, committing to a personal yoga practice kept me physically healthy, emotionally well, and spiritually grounded.  I can still see the morning light in the room where I practiced connecting body with breath to calm the fluctuations of the mind.  Though uncovered during challenging times, I am grateful to have found the perennial place of peace and calm residing within me.  On those powerful days, I knew I wanted to share the transformative self-care experience with others.

With every opportunity to teach, I am reminded of the gift yoga provides:  an opportunity to slow down, to tune out the world, to tune into the self, and even to go beyond.  Since completing a 200-hour yoga teacher training at the Funky Om nearly ten years ago, I have enjoyed offering classes that are strong and mindful, where I encourage practitioners to hold poses, consider their alignment, and deepen their breath.  Ever curious and a perpetual learner, I have pursued certifications in Yin and Restorative Yoga, Trauma-Informed Teaching, yoga with children, and am generally on the lookout for more opportunities to dive deeper into the discipline.  My personal practice has evolved to incorporate the devotional aspects of the tradition, becoming more connected to meditation (inspired by a ten-day silent Vipassana sit) as well as chanting.

I have been practicing yoga since 2016 and teaching yoga since 2025. I am certified in Yoga to teach children and adults. I received my certification in children’s yoga through Yogi Beans and my 200-hr. Refined Flow through Absolute Yoga. My first experience with yoga was a workshop I took in 2016 called “Yoga for Anxiety.” The reason I started practicing was to help relieve anxiety and it did, and I gradually began practicing regularly, but what I did not expect was that I would fall deeply in love with yoga. It made me feel grounded, calm, relaxed and balanced in body and mind. I love that it connects mind, body and breath.

I first got my certification to teach kids (ages 4-10) yoga in 2023. I previously worked as a Teacher Assistant at a local pre-school and began teaching yoga to the Pre-k kids there. I did that for a year and I truly enjoyed it because it combined both my love for kids and yoga. I had been thinking about doing a 200-hr. teacher training for a long time and an opportunity presented itself in 2024 and I decided to go for it. So, I continued on my yoga journey and completed my 9 months of training and graduated in May 2025. It was the best decision I ever made! I went into the training thinking that I just wanted to deepen my practice, but it did so much more than that and I felt very confident, prepared and ready to teach! I have now been teaching since June 2025 and I absolutely love teaching (and my students know I love my music-lol)!

As a RYT-200 Yoga Alliance instructor, I have a lot of experience and expertise. I currently have a gentle yoga class on the schedule, but have taught Yoga Roots, Level 1, All-levels, Level 2, Yoga Fit (with weights) and Restorative yoga as well. I also teach pop-up classes.

My goal is for my students to feel grounded, relaxed and calm in both their bodies and minds, and I find it so rewarding knowing that I am making others feel good. Yoga is a passion for me and I can honestly say that I am living my dream!

Teaching is not just my profession; it is my calling. My journey began in the education field, where I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Education followed by two Master’s degrees. While my academic background gave me the tools to guide others, my heart has always driven me to explore what it truly means to live life to the fullest. For me, true well-being is a complete picture. It is not just about physical health, but about nurturing ourselves emotionally and spiritually.

This belief came to life roughly 15 years ago when I walked into my first yoga studio. At the time, I was pregnant with my son and simply looking for a way to stay in shape. What I discovered on the mat changed everything. I quickly realized the physical practice was only a small part of the journey. Yoga provided a profound sense of emotional grounding, mental clarity, and spiritual connection during one of the most transformative times of my life.

Over the years, my personal practice became an anchor, fueling a deep desire to share these life-changing benefits with others. Driven by my natural love for teaching, I decided to embark on the journey to become an instructor, earning my RYT 200-hour certification in May of 2026.

Now, I am fully living my passion by guiding others on the mat. I teach a variety of classes tailored to your needs, including dynamic Vinyasa, accessible Gentle Level 1, and inclusive All Levels Flows, while frequently sprinkling in restorative and yin-inspired yoga to encourage deep relaxation and stillness. My classes go beyond just physical movement; I intentionally weave in breathwork, meditation, mantras, and sound healing to create a deeply restorative, multi-sensory experience.

I combine my lifelong background in education with the deep wisdom of yoga to create a supportive, nurturing environment. I am honored to share my love for this practice with you, helping you strengthen your body, calm your mind, and reconnect with your spirit.

Nicolle Navaretta

RYT 200

Nicolle is a RYT-200 certified yoga instructor who believes yoga is much more than the asana postures - it is an opportunity to reconnect with ourselves, one another, and the natural world around us. With a background in marine and environmental science, she has always felt deeply connected to nature and draws inspiration from its rhythms, resilience, and constant cycles of change. Her classes weave mindful movement,  breath, yoga philosophy, and the wisdom of the natural world together, inviting students to explore not only how a pose feels in the body, but also the joy of feeling good in the physical body. She values yoga as both a grounding practice and a way to cultivate presence, strength, and ease from the inside out.

Her approach to teaching is also shaped by her own experiences with grief, trauma, and personal transformation. These experiences have deepens her appreciation for yoga as a space to slow down, listen inward, and meet ourselves with compassion. She strives to create classes that feel grounding, inclusive, and reflective -- while leaving room for curiousity, joy, and play.
