Hi! I’m Nyk Danu — fiercely independent Sagittarius, misfit, introvert, bookworm, cat charmer, crow whisperer, Buddhist, seeker of truth, peaceful warrior and pro-activist who’s not-so-secretly out to save the world. I never planned to practice Yoga. As a former rock ‘n roll, smoking, rebellious type, Yoga wasn’t even on my radar. In fact, I went to my first Yoga class as a favour to a friend. But that class was a complete game-changer. For the first time that I could remember my normally frantic mind was only paying attention to one thing. And physically I felt amazing! I walked out of that first class feeling like I had shoes made of clouds. This was it. I was in love. Yoga forever. So eventually I decided to teach Yoga. I teach Therapeutic Yoga to MisFits. Gen Xers (and sometimes Y) who don’t feel at home in mainstream Yoga circles: the rebels, underdogs, introverts, geeks, and bookworms. As a Yoga Therapist, my specialty is helping people with Back Pain and Anxiety. All the Yoga I teach is Therapeutic, but I am most known for (and have a massive crush on) Yin Yoga and teach Yin Yoga Teacher Trainings. My personal practice and Yoga classes are rooted in Buddhism, Taoism and Traditional Chinese Medicine. You can expect a foundation Mindfulness, and gratitude in my classes.
