Testimonials
Thank your lucky stars that you have crossed Nikki Dunas’ path. Before I met Nikki, I had never experienced someone so generously give her full, unwavering attention to my experience, growth and wellbeing. With her careful and consistent capacity to listen, she gave me the experience of being truly heard and seen – not as she wanted me to be or thought I should be – but exactly as I am. With her uncanny perception to see in-between the lines of my complexity, my desires and my doubts, she then reflected back to me with such precise insight the parts of myself that I had not yet understood or honored. I don’t know how she does it! She’s like magic. By being in her field of presence, deep listening and uncanny perception, she helped me use life’s challenges as the very opportunities to become the brightest version of myself, over and over and over again. I would not be the free and grounded woman I am today without her help.

I experience Nikki having a presence informed by a combination of wisdom, humility, courage, deep practice, honesty, beautiful fierceness and patience. Being with Nikki is inspiring, encouraging, and supportive because she always listens and sees me in ways I wouldn’t see, and need to see. She reminds me of my goodness and wholeness, and helps me to see my shortcomings or growing opportunities with forgiveness, compassion and understanding. I love her yoga teaching because I find her easy to trust and be guided by. I always have a full experience in her class of being challenged just the right amount, and able to soften and surrender and orient towards to something deeper and greater. I know she has practiced deeply herself for so many years and her guidance is informed by that embodiment and understanding.

Kathy Kahn, MA, LPC
I have studied, practiced, and co-taught yoga with Nikki for the past 15 years. Nikki has an authentic voice and expression in her offering of yoga as well as a relatable teaching style that has her first on my list to sub any of my classes up in the mountain communities. I always receive positive feedback from students when Nikki teaches, and requests to have her back! It has been a joy to study, work and hold the sacred art of yoga with her.
