We’ve closed our doors May 25th 2025 🪷
Grateful for every breath + soul who shared this space. 💜

Hey Westside Yoga fam—

Y’all have been asking… so here’s the scoop!

Yes, the props are up for grabs! Blocks, bolsters, straps—some already claimed by fast movers, but we’ve still got a few left. Text or email me if you want to snag something before it’s gone. I’ll send out all the prop details in a newsletter too, so stay tuned.

Our last Sunday flow is happening May 25th—and yes, I’ll be teaching. Registration is already live. Get your name on that list while it’s still hot 🔥

As for me—I'm hanging in there. Taking deep breaths, crying, laughing a lot, and doing the work to return to what I love most.

You can now find me at , my cozy little healing space where I’m doing massages, private yoga sessions, and sound baths (yes, your girl is still vibing—just in a quieter room with less incense).

I’ve got a summer full of pop-ups, events, and some beautiful offerings in the works, and I’d love to see you outside the studio. Check below for my info or if you want to schedule a private yoga or sound session.

Thank you—deeply and truly—for riding this wild ride with me. You’ve been my heart.

✨ A Love Letter to Westside Yoga ✨

Oh, Westside Yoga—what a wild, beautiful, heartbreaking, and soul-expanding ride it has been. I poured every ounce of my Leo fire into this space, willing it to thrive with sheer passion, grit, and the occasional (okay, frequent) stubbornness. I tried. HARD. I fought for it. I pushed. I forced. And then, the universe—wise, patient, and occasionally a little savage—whispered (okay, shouted): "Let. Go."

And so, after many sleepless nights, deep breaths, and a whole lot of surrender, I’m closing Westside Yoga on May 25th
(non stop f*cking crying). This decision has humbled me in ways I never expected. It’s taught me that sometimes, no matter how much heart and hustle you pour in, the timing just isn’t right. And while my spirit wanted to push my way through, I’m choosing grace. I’m choosing to honor what is, rather than what I wished it could be.

To every single one of you who stepped onto your mat in this space, who laughed, cried, stretched, wobbled, and breathed with me—I see you. I love you. I am endlessly grateful for you. Westside Yoga was never just about the walls or the classes. It was about us. And that magic? That doesn’t go away.

For now, I’m surrendering. Trusting. Bowing to what comes next. This is not the end—it’s just another transformation. And if this journey has taught me anything, it’s that even when things fall apart, something beautiful is always waiting to rise from the dust.

If you have a 10-class pack or membership , please be sure to use your remaining classes before then. If you have any questions, feel free to text me directly 559-420-5390

With all my heart,
Nicole

P.S. I'm still going to be doing Yoga events, Hikes etc, I also have my massage business I will continue that journey!

Here’s a breakdown of what we offer at WYS so you can find the perfect fit!

🔥 Vinyasa Flow (Strong Vinyasa) – Want to break a sweat, build strength, and challenge yourself? This dynamic, fast-paced class will have you moving with breath through a powerful sequence that builds heat, burns calories, and increases endurance. Not a beginner class—this is for those ready to work! If you're looking for a challenge, this is it. Taught by Nicole, Mike, Shannon, Sara, and Cara, each of us brings our own creative, strong sequencing to the mat.

🧘‍♂️ Beginner Yoga – New to yoga? This is where you start. A gentle, welcoming class designed for ALL bodies and ALL levels. We use props, modifications, and guidance to help you feel comfortable and confident in every pose. No prior experience needed—just show up and breathe.

🌿 Slow Flow (Signature Class!) – A beautiful blend of movement and stretch, perfect for beginners and experienced yogis. This class is gentle, accessible, and focuses on maintaining flexibility and range of motion in the joints. Whether you’re shaking off a long day at work or just need to move your body, this is the class that makes you feel amazing.

🕯 Candlelight Restorative – If you're feeling stressed, anxious, or just need deep relaxation, this is your class. Low lights, candlelit ambiance, and long-held, floor-based poses that melt tension from your body and calm your nervous system.

Yoga isn’t one-size-fits-all.

I see so many people arguing about the “right” way to practice yoga—this style is better, that approach is wrong, this lineage is the only true path. Let me stop you right there. None of that is true.

The only “right” yoga is the one that is right for YOU. The one that calls you to your mat.

Some come to yoga for movement, strength, and sweat—Vinyasa, Yoga Sculpt, Ashtanga.

Some come to yoga for breathwork, stillness, and peace—Pranayama, Meditation, Restorative.

Some dive deep into the philosophy, the wisdom, the tradition.
Some just need an hour to breathe, to feel, to exist.

Your practice is yours. It evolves. It shifts. It grows with you. I started my journey focused purely on the physical, and now, 20 years later, I’m obsessed with the philosophy, the wisdom, the deeper layers.

Take what serves you on your mat and leave the rest. No one owns yoga but you and your own practice. That’s your sadhana. 🙏🏼

What does yoga mean to you right now?

Research published in JAMA Psychiatry found that people who practiced yoga and breathwork experienced significant reductions in depressive symptoms, comparable to traditional treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

I was driving through this gloomy Fresno rain today (Wednesday), deep in my thoughts, and this question came up—can yoga help with depression?

Here’s what I know:
Movement is medicine.
Breath is medicine.

And I also know that when you’re deep in it—depression, anxiety, exhaustion—even stepping outside the house can feel impossible. But if you can just make it through the door, we’ll be here. ( I have been there)

You don’t have to talk. You don’t have to engage. You can come in, roll out your mat, and just breathe.

Healing starts from within—but you have to show up. Even if it’s just once a week. Just one hour. Just one deep breath.

I opened Westside Yoga Studio because I know what yoga did for me. I know what it can do for you. So if you’re struggling, if you need a place to just be—you have one.

No pressure. No expectations. Just movement, breath, and space to feel whatever you need to feel.

See you on the mat.
Nicole

Life is wild. Things are crazy. I’ve been deep in the trenches, running around like a maniac, trying to keep my brain attached to my body. The only thing holding me together right now?

The yoga classes I teach at WYS. Seriously. If I didn’t have my Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday classes, I’d probably just float away into the void. (running a biz is cra)

But I wanted to take a second to update y’all because A LOT is happening.

Taylor had a beautiful baby girl, Scarlett 🩷 and she’s coming back to teach! She’ll be on the schedule this Saturday at 8:30 AM for a Beginner class. Next week, she’s subbing a few classes, and we’re working on getting her back on the regular schedule.

Samantha is heading out on maternity leave!
🩵 We’re sending all the good vibes her way as she prepares to welcome her little one. Her last class will be Friday, March 7th, at 5:30 PM (Restorative). If you love her class, show up and give her a proper send-off!

Oh, and I’m planning a yoga + hike event because the weather is about to be GORGEOUS.
Spring is here, the seasons are changing, and if you need a reset (like me), movement + fresh air is the way to do it.

And listen. For yoga to work, you have to show up. If you’ve been feeling off, scattered, or just straight-up exhausted—drag yourself to class.
It’s what’s keeping me sane right now, and I promise, it helps.

See you on the mat. ✌️
Nicole
