Our Team
Nicole Cain - Founder & Lead Yoga Instructor
E-RYT-200, E-RYT 500, Ayurvedic Health Educator,Lead Yoga Instructor for 200 hour YTT
Originally from California USA, Nicole's passion for travel, and adventure led her to make a dramatic decision to take a leave of absence from Nursing school in San Diego to follow her heart to do what made her feel the most alive; snowboarding. She had no idea that this simple decision would forever change the course of her life. She packed up her car and moved to Vail, Colorado. It is here that she was first introduced to Buddhist philosophy which ignited something in her to seek a deeper understanding of Self and cultivate a meditation practice. She continued her adventure traveling through Mexico and Europe when she realized she had been truly bitten by the travel bug.
She continued to follow her heart, changed her major to Spanish, and applied to study abroad in Chile. She went on to travel through South America following an inner calling to understand traditional medicine and shamanism which led her to explore Sacred plant medicine at an early age. Her experiences which followed are what she feels to be the biggest catalyst to her awakening and yet also what would propel her on her own path of healing, on which she would eventually discover her dharma, or purpose as a teacher.
