Nicole began practicing yoga in 2000 while in massage school in Orlando, FL. After years of not feeling comfortable in her skin, yoga became part of her healing process. 

Nicole became a certified yoga instructor in 2020, just in time to share self-care strategies that would carry her and her followers through uncertain times. Her background in bodywork for PTSD remains a great source of inspiration for creating classes that soothe and down-regulate the nervous system.

Nicole has her RYT 200 and is certified in Accessible Yoga. She loves to help her students find ways to move that work for their unique bodies and help them feel more connected; mind, body, and spirit.

Working with veterans in the Florida VA as a recreation therapist led her to pursue her 200 RYT yoga certification.  

Noticing how the pandemic was affecting her then 1yr old, Aysha found ways to use mindfulness and breathing to help her little one. A friend/yoga mentor introduced her to the Yogi Beans trainings for kids’ yoga, where she was able to complete trainings in child, family, tween, and baby yoga.    

She brings a unique experience as a recreation therapist helping children learn and explore new interests.    Aysha is the owner of The RecRoom Yogi LLC, and holds certifications in recreation therapy, adaptive sports and recreation, and yoga.
