HATHA, ASHTANGA, NADA, RAJA, VINYASAS & KUNDALINI YOGA Nicole's Yoga Studio is dedicated to teaching YOGA exclusively. YOGA is an ancient tradition geared towards self-development, an
important element in personal growth and transformation. Nicole's YOGA
incorporates ancient wisdom and modern knowledge. Nicole and her
teachers , with their unique style of teaching, instruct the pure form of YOGA which includes many facets, not just YOGA ASANAS.
Various branches of YOGA are also practiced such as breath control,
concentration and meditation as well as YOGA therapy as a specialized
application of general YOGA. There are also useful practices for every
functional system of the body such as cardiovascular, respiratory and endocrine
systems. Spinal alignment, joint flexibility and cerebrospinal fluid
techniques are used to release the healing power of the body on all
levels. Classes are conducted in an methodical and progressive manner. A
beginner class will take the student through basic poses with precision, slowly
and carefully. Everyone has different needs. Ergo, it is the
responsibility of the instructor to assess the entire range and capabilities of
each student thereby creating the proper sequence of practice. With such a
process, the individual matures and learns self-acceptance, gains patience and
awareness of the value of his/her own body discovering a new sense of well-being
and uniqueness. As a result, the studio offers five levels of Yoga classes which
will fit any student's needs. In order to get a more in-depth

Company ProfileNicole's Yoga Center had humble beginnings in the early 1980's when Nicole started to teach Yoga at the local YMCA and adult school. Within a year, her style of teaching became very popular and she was up to 5 weekly classes. From there on, Nicole had formed a strong clientele of avid practitioners and soon realized that she would have to expand in order to properly accommodate her students' needs. This led Nicole to open up her own Yoga School in the Spring of 1988 in Garwood, New Jersey in order to serve mainly the Union County customers: Westfield, Cranford, Scotch Plains, Fanwood, Union, Roselle, Elizabeth, Clark, Edison, Hillside, Woodbridge, Plainfield, Newark, Springfield, Mountainside, Summit, Rahway, Kenilworth, Metuchen, etc. The studio has been completely renovated and expended during the Spring of 2001 and offers a 2500 square foot unique and inspirational Yoga and Meditation Center. It was customized with a special padded carpet, a modern central air conditioning/heating system, high ceiling, etc. It is now in its 20th year and over 22 classes per week in 5 different levels are offered, more than 500 students are attending regularly. Nicole has many diplomas and certifications ranging from Yoga therapist, weight control, Hypno-counselor, stress management, leadership training and others. She has also studied with Dr. Glassy on cerebral/spinal fluid techniques and with Yoga expert Lilias Folan at the Omega Institute. She has been featured in local radio and TV stations. The year 2007 marks Nicole's 50th year of instruction. Nicole is also a naturalized US citizen and has been living in the US over 30 years. She also has 5 grand-daughters, 4 of them born in the US and a grand-son. Nicole's family is her pride and joy. Click here for magazine articles and a list of charitable works by the studio.
