DR. NICOLA BENNETT, N.D.
Nicola is a naturopathic doctor living and thriving in East Vancouver’s artistically rich Commercial Drive neighbourhood. She was introduced to yoga by her gymnastics coach at age 16, where she instantly fell in love with the practice and knew that she would eventually become a teacher. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Kinesiology and Health Science from UBC, enriching her teachings as her classes focus heavily on anatomy and physiology. She is particularly interested in the use of breath and mindfulness to balance the nervous system. It is in this state where the body’s innate ability to heal itself is most active and sets the foundation for healing from within. With a gentile supportive voice, Dr. Bennett combines her knowledge as a naturopathic doctor with her experience as a yoga teacher and long-term practitioner to create a truly unique experience in her classes.
