Nikki Thies
Nikki has enjoyed teaching since she learned to walk and talk. She graduated from Simpson College in 1999 with a Psychology and Secondary Education degree with plans to become a school counselor. She became active in fitness after graduating from college and took up Pilates after her daughter was born in 2002. She started yoga while pregnant with her son in 2005 and took her first yoga teacher training in December of 2006 and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. She wanted more and more as she has begun taking all the yoga classes available. She has received several yoga certifications including Yoga for Kids, Seniors and prenatal/postnatal. She is actively working on becoming a Registered and Certified Yoga teacher that she should achieve by 2008.
Nikki’s love of Pilates also brought her to some teacher trainings in mat and on the reformer Pilates machine where she has received training through Stott Pilates. She hopes to offer Pilates classes in the fall. She appreciates the stretching and strengthening in the core area that Pilates has to offer as well as the balance between strength and flexibility she receives from her yoga practice.
Nikki has a deep interest in all aspects of fitness and nutrition. She received her Nutrition Specialist diploma in spring of 2007. She believes that you will feel your best with a balanced diet and regular exercise. She has found that through Pilates and yoga she has been able to develop the mind and body connection for the best results.
Yoga is currently being held each Wednesday evening at 5:30 and Saturday morning at 8:30. Nikki practices Vinyasa, a flowing style of yoga. She believes in providing you with a good work out in addition to the strength building, flexibility, and mental benefits it offers. She provides many different options to meet the needs of all fitness levels. Wednesday evenings are full but there are a couple of spaces available on Saturday. She has punch cards available for purchase. Private Yoga, mat Pilates, and Reformer Pilates sessions are available upon request.
Katie’s passion is to teach people, through her healing work, how easy healing, vibrant health, and full integration (wholeness) actually is. She knows that it is Divinity/Higher Self that is in actuality doing the healing, while she
is “merrily” merely holding the space for this miraculous transformation to take place. Katie spent the past two
years participating in the Invincible America Program, to stabilize peace for herself, her family and friends, and
the nation, by practicing the Transcendental Meditation Sidhis Program in the large groups, of the
Golden Domes, in Fairfield, Iowa.
For her individual practice she is using the BodyTalk System and Sacred Stone Shirodhara to help her facilitate
the unique healing requirements for the individual.
Katie spent three weeks in Trivandrum, India. She received Marma Therapy (restores balance within the vata,
pitta, and kapha doshas), from Guru Balachandran Nair. She feels very fortunate, to have been
given the opportunity, to be of service to her spiritual mentors, Charlie and Helen Lutes, in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Katie has previous background in Interior Design which helps express her great passion and love for using color,
music, and aromas, for creating safe beautiful sacred spaces. She also draws from her consciousness based
education, from Maharishi University of Management, in Fairfield, Iowa. Katie utilizes all of her
previous classes and life experiences, to best assist the individual, on the emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual
levels. Having taken Bodytalk Modules 1 & 2, PaRama Breakthrough, Animal Talk Access, Bodytalk Access,
Mapping Health with Dr. John Veltheim, and Sacred Stone Shirodhara, as well as
her education from Southwest Institute of the Healing Arts, in Tempe, Arizona, focusing on
Polarity Therapy, she has followed her passions and heart’s wisdom.
Katie puts her attention on Wholeness and Beingness, to best assist a cosmic shift in perception, where infinite possibilities/solutions and infinite feelings of gratitude reside. Let that be the place where your mind rests!
Namaste!
"The Divinity within me perceives and adores the Divinity within you."
