Nikki Allen,

House of RhythOM

Nikki truly believes yoga found her. She discovered the art as a child when she found a book in her grandparent’s basement. The first chance she had to experience a class, she jumped at the opportunity & was hooked. She began practicing in 2005, got a subscription to Yoga Journal, and started to incorporate a yogic lifestyle. 

Before getting certified, Nikki focused on studying another passion – holistic health. She got my certification as a holistic health coach at IIN & continued on to get a BA at Goddard College in holistic health. During her time at Goddard, she started pursuing her yoga teacher certification in Ashtanga, something completely different from the Vinyasa style she was familiar with. Years later, her daughter was born & shifted my whole world. Her experience during pregnancy drove me to become a birth doula & get certified in prenatal yoga. 

When Nikki teaches, she brings lightheartedness to the mat. Moving in your body should be fun. She infuses several elements of yoga beyond asana (movement) to include meditation & breath work. She enjoys teaching prenatal, Vinyasa & yin. 

When you join Nikki on the mat, she hopes you feel that you are met with acceptance & the ability to drop your shields so that you can unlock all the goodness that yoga offers. You’ll share a smile, maybe a laugh & enjoy movement & breath.

Beyond yoga & holistic health, Nikki’s passion is quality time with her family, traveling, reading, & learning. She’s always listening to a podcast or reading a book. Her self-care practice includes: yoga & gym movement, meditation, breath work, journaling, and time outside.

TESTIMONIALS:

“Great experience. Awesome leader, nice ambiance, great class members.”

“Nikki’s energy is absolutely fabulous. She has been a blessing to my life in so many ways. I first met her through her teaching my yoga class, where she instantly made me feel safe and taken care of. I really enjoy how relatable and real she is and how comfortable I felt in her class. I just recently moved to San Antonio and was in need of support and community. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“I’ve never felt so at ease and comfortable in a yoga session before. Nikki was very inclusive to anyone that wanted to join. And her friendly energy and happiness most definitely radiates from herself to everyone in the group. I always leave feeling energized and full of peace.”

“If you haven’t met Nikki yet you are definitely missing out! She is a wonderful gem and a marvelous person, and I miss her happy energy all the time.”

“Every instructor is welcoming, fun, personable and incredibly knowledgeable. I love yoga at this studio. Thanks for giving us a yoga home”

“The music selection set up my mindset, the flow challenged me yet allowed me space to back off to honor myself. The vibes, instruction, friendliness, and cleanliness were top notch.”

“Small and quaint. The dimmed lights, the aromas, the calming music, the attention to detail in the classes and the body, mind and spirit all combined into a studio. It’s fantastic!”

Often for less than $150, you can purchase a travel insurance policy and be protected in the event that you need to make a change or need to be covered financially prior to or during your trip. 

We have partnered with two insurance companies: Trawick International and CSA Travel Insurance (available for U.S. Residents only).
