Nancee Nystrom

Many would describe her as a connected and accepting person to all different kinds of people, ages, demographics, interests and beliefs. She knows how to hold boundaries, has intense personal expectations, self-care routines, and loves teaching others what she has learned along the way. Addiction recovery is a large part of Nancee’s life story and she shares it courageously and openly to remove the stigma of drug and alcohol addiction in our society. Nancee struggled with the disease of addiction being active in her life for 17 years and has been in abstinent recovery for 10 years now and works a diligent recovery program that is unique and her own recipe for daily sobriety. Nancee found her path to the sober lifestyle on her yoga mat so it would be accurate to say that yoga saved her life. Her official yoga “teacher” journey began when she was a student of the LifePower Yoga’s first 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2011 led by Jonny Kest and Jason Hulshof; Nancee has been practicing Yoga earnestly since 2009. Nancee has completed over 1000 hours of Yoga Teacher Trainings. She is grateful for the opportunity to deepen her personal practice and to develop her teaching skills by studying with a variety teachers and hundreds of students over the last 10 years. Nancee views her yoga practice as an essential part of her life and the propelling force of her spirituality. Her ambition is to inspire others to begin their practice exactly where they are today, and open up to possibility of healing their lives through yoga. Nancee brings her soft voice, empathy, creativity, playfulness, explicit & authentic language and a non-judgmental energy to her classes. She wants her students learn that practicing yoga and meditation is an opportunity to get the F*&^ out of your own way and relieve yourself of things that do not serve your life to your highest good. Yoga is simply life training utilizing ancient principals that can be applied to modern life to get you closer to your true self.
