Nikki Baker Banks

With her playful and lighthearted attitude, Nikki’s classes are not only challenging but rewarding. She encourages students to step out of their comfort zone and will leave you feeling supported and energized.
 

Nikki began practicing yoga some time around 2008 when a coworker told her about a community yoga class at an art museum. Although downward facing dog felt the farthest from a so-called resting pose, she found herself connected to her body and breath in an intentional and non-judgmental way for the first time ever. Nikki continued practicing off and on, sometimes even being encouraged to do teacher training.


The stars aligned in 2015, and she completed her 200hr certification, immediately began teaching, and followed up with the 300-hr certification shortly thereafter, all at Dancing Dogs Yoga Savannah. Nikki is 500-RTY with additional certifications in Bridge to Lotus Flow, Connected Warrior, Thai Yoga Massage, Reiki Level 1, Yin Yoga, Yinpowerment, HIIT Yoga, Trauma Sensitive Yoga, Spry Yoga, and probably more that she's forgetting. Nikki has helped lead many Yoga Teacher Certification Programs specializing in Hands-on Assisting. She also teaches Goat Yoga!
When not practicing or teaching yoga, Nikki can be found teaching Art at Jenkins High School, traveling all over the world with her Team in Training friends, and hanging at home with her family and pets. Nikki believes the purpose of life is to lift the spirits of others.
