Meet Kaleide
MEET NIKKI (AKA ASANISTA)
CO-OWNER OF KALEIDE/ DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS/ YOGA INSTRUCTOR/ Human Design reader/ Sound practitioner/ Sun worshipper
With an extensive background in gymnastics and dance, my love of motion, curiosity about the human body, and desire to heal led me straight into the arms of yoga, where I first experienced real connection. Yoga, with its emphasis on breath and mindfulness, brought equilibrium across the entire spectrum of my life. In my classes, I guide students through a physical practice that pushes beyond one’s body and drives into the deeper metaphysical properties we all possess. The strength cultivated in my classes helps one to grow an asana practice, but that same strength can be translated directly into all aspects of life.
I believe yoga is much more than the shapes we create with our bodies. A genuine yoga practice is one that transcends the confines of a mat or studio. True yoga is found in how we see ourselves, how we interact with others, and how we view the world. It is a lifestyle and lifelong practice.
Expanding my exploration of energy, I delved into Human Design, which empowered me by revealing my innate strengths. Now, I share this knowledge in a modern and accessible way, aiming to empower others to embrace their unique design and potential.
A lover of both the woo and practical aspects of being human, my fascination with the unexplainable eventually motivated me to continue my education in Circadian Biology through Circadian Certified’s Applied Quantum Biology Level 1 Program. I love to share the simple, yet effective Circadian Rhythm practices I’ve learned that reconnect us to the Earth as intuitive mammals. Most of us suffer with mental and physical issues due to a circadian mismatch. We live in mostly artificially lit, indoor environments, eat foods that don’t grow in our area, and have poor evening and sleep habits. It is my hope to educate others about the importance of light, water, and magnetism, as well as to offer easy, practices that can be implemented on a regular basis to improve mitochondrial function and overall health.
MEET SHANNON.
CO-OWNER OF KALEIDE / BRAND DIRECTOR/ REIKI HEALER
As a yoga teacher and Reiki Master practitioner, I use my background in boutique fitness and child development to bring a playful, community focused approach to my classes and offerings. I specialize in private group yoga classes for everyone from professional athletes to bachelorette parties. As a nerd in all things subtle body energy, I implement reiki and breath work into my classes, bringing connection to the mind body and spirit, and strive to make each of my classes accessible for every-body.
“Taking the time to marvel in your own breath is equal parts humbling and empowering. We see the ocean or the stars and can so easily be in awe but when we grow to understand that each inhale and exhale is just as incredible, self love is ignited in a way that far surpasses our physical body.”
