Nina took her first yoga class in high school, but it wasn't a love-at-first-sight moment. It wasn’t until years later that she found a class and a studio that truly resonated with her, sparking a deep passion for the practice. As an instructor, her goal is to inspire that same sense of connection and enthusiasm in her students.She completed her 200-hour certification with Yoga One in Charlotte, NC, specializing in a Baptiste-style practice. Nina is grateful for the impact yoga has had in helping her to manage her stress and anxiety - providing a space to breathe, move, and find calm in the chaos of life.

Off the mat, Nina works at a workforce development nonprofit, where she’s dedicated to helping others launch their careers. You can also find Nina competing in Olympic Weightlifting meets or mixing up craft cocktails with her husband in their outdoor tiki bar. In quieter moments, she can be found lounging with her Boston Terrier, Maggie.
