World Class Yoga Teacher Nicki Doane Coming to Gloucester!
We’re honored to be hosting a teacher who we consider to be one of the greatest living yoga teachers to our home town. What makes her great? Well, for one – if she read this she’d probably take umbrage at the fact that we’re calling her one of the greatest living yoga teachers. But that’s part of what makes Nicki great.
As students and teachers of this practice, and now owners of a studio – Elizabeth and I make a sincere point of going and taking class and learning from the best. Most of the time it’s pretty good, sometimes it would have been better to save the money and the trip, and even more rarely than that – it exceeds every expectation. Without fail – that’s what you get from Nicki Doane.
There’s no smoke and mirrors and you won’t learn how to do a fancy handstand or a cool party trick you can post up on Facebook. What makes Nicki great is that when you come to learn from her, it isn’t about her – it’s about the practice. That’s what she’s all about. And that’s what we’re all about.
Devotion to yoga and the desire to share with and give back to the world are what motivate the teaching of Maya Yoga with Nicki Doane. Yoga is spirit in action, and as Nicki teaches, she inspires people to find a place of spirit inside themselves, recognizing the profound connection between the self and spirit.
Nicki has been studying yoga in India for years and has been deeply influenced by the teachings of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and B.K.S. Iyengar. Her unique approach to Vinyasa yoga strengthens all aspects of your being through dynamic structural alignment, conscious breathing, and practical yogic philosophy; helping students find the deeper life of yoga. Nicki strives to teach each student that yoga is about being fully present in the moment and discovering that we are truly all One:
One Love, One People, One Heart, One Destination – Our Higher Self.
Exploring How a Sustainable Practice Creates a Sustainable Life
In the world as it stands today, it is becoming increasingly obvious that Sustainability is no longer an option for us all but a much needed Reality. How to create that in our own lives and yoga practice is what Vinyasa Fusion has to offer. The Maya Yoga approach is intent on serving the Individual student. Nicki’s style encourages students to discover their true self and let the practice be the teacher, showing you the tools to learn for yourself what is right for you at any given moment. Vinyasa Fusion combines the breath and flow of Vinyasa style yoga with alignment principles which support safety, postural integrity, and personal awareness in the practice. Since our practice is a representation of our lives, we will explore how this sustainable approach to our asana practice helps us to create and sustain balance in our lives. We invite you to explore Nicki’s unique approach to Vinyasa yoga because it will strengthen all aspects of your being through dynamic structural alignment, conscious breathing, and practical yogic philosophy.
On Wednesday, July 13 Nicki will be with us here in Gloucester at Cape Ann Power Yoga.
This class will sell out so we encourage you to sign up now.
This will not be a hot class.
I AM PEACE….

Yoga at 5:30 in the morning? Yeah, right!
Why on Earth would you want to get up at the crack’a’dawn to go and work hard, push your limits, and sweat before 6AM? Well have you ever noticed how old folks get up at like 4 in the morning? Maybe they’re on to something. Maybe they realize that this life is short but sweet for certain, and it’s up to us to take advantage of every breath. And, if healthy, wealthy, and wise is just an alarm clock away……. we’ve got a spot for you to get on that project.
This is a man who doesn’t need to “practice” his balance but he does anyway. You’ll see him on his mat at 5:30 a few days a week.
Our 5:30am weekday classes are taught by Johnna, Kim, and Atlee. These women shine energy and enthusiasm; they are happy to be there and it rubs off on everyone! The 5:30 crew is a great little community – a regular group of friendly people who join together each weekday morning. They’re in a sun drenched room in full view of the elements, the rising sun, and a peek out to the harbor and the Paint Factory. They practice energetic breathing, stretching, moving, balancing, and, most importantly, benevolence and generosity of spirit. And, even more importantly, there’s a spot in that room for YOU.
When class gets out at 6:30 you feel awesome. You’re clear headed and ready to be proactive instead of being reactive. You can get a coffee at Lone Gull, go for a swim at your favorite beach or quarry, or head home to take a shower and make a healthy breakfast. For that magical time before the majority of New England wakes up, the day is yours. And if you practice 5 times a week – the world is yours.
