Nicole Moore
Hello my name is Nicole Moore.
Three words to describe me are compassionate, joyful and adventurous.
When I’m not teaching yoga, I am exploring the wilderness, hanging out with my dog and being a beach bum! I also work in the hotel business in Pismo Beach, I went to Cal Poly SLO for a degree in Recreation, Parks and Tourism. I volunteer for the 5 Cities Homeless Coalition and the SLO Foodbank in my free time.
My ideal morning is watching sunrise with a cup of coffee, sitting in meditation with my sangha, enjoying a Hatha yoga class at Harmony House and grabbing some locally grown and baked goods at Kelly’s farm stand, then walking my dog on the beach.
I dream about yoga sequencing, traveling the world and living in connection with nature and the earth.
I am grateful for my yoga journey, Harmony House and the ocean! I have a daily gratitude practice and yoga is always on my list.
Yoga has taught me how to accept all things as they are in this moment, and this moment, and this moment; staying present and flexible because everything is always changing. Being physically flexible is not the end goal but perhaps quieting the analytical and sometimes judgmental mind is. Calm the body, quiet the mind.
I love to teach Hatha and gentle sequences where we slow it down and explore the mind-body connection more deeply through simple and effective asana and pranayama.
Three words to describe my teaching style are simple, authentic and accessible.
As a teacher, I strive to teach a safe and gentle class while still building some heat, share information on anatomy, functional movement, neuroscience, and explore basic spiritual concepts from the Yoga Sutras and traditional yoga teachings.
Music you might hear in my class is mostly instrumental and might include some mantras in Sanskrit. I love artists like Essie Jane, Cellomano and Porangui.
My yoga experience includes props most of the time and always offers modifications for all levels of students.
I am excited to be a part of the Harmony House community because this space has created a group of dedicated yogis that I am honored to learn alongside, as we are all lifelong students in this practice.
