Hi friends! I’m Nissa. My first introduction into yoga was 1995 when I, along with a few college girlfriends scored a 28-day yoga practice at Recycled Books! This was long before the internet or yoga classes were highly accessible and so it wasn’t until I returned to UNT in 2007 that I started taking classes and practicing yoga regularly.
Despite becoming distracted and falling out of my practice within various seasons of my life, I have always returned to yoga. When COVID hit, I knew I was going to need more tools to manage my girls shift to distance learning, so I jumped headfirst into a 200 YTT program. Since then, I have completed 500 hours of yoga teacher training through Yoga Farms Ithaca, and laughter yoga training through Laughter Yoga International.
After toying with the idea of launching Om Sweet Dome Yoga for 1,825 days…. I am truly grateful to be in this moment and to share these practices with you! Sat Nam.
