Me Time Yoga With Nikki
About
Nikki Tirado, E-RYT 500
Certified Yoga Teacher | Reiki Master Practitioner | iRest® Level 1 Yoga Nidra Meditation Teacher
Welcome, I’m Nikki Tirado, an experienced and registered yoga teacher with advanced training through Life Power Yoga at Life Time Fitness and Sam Yoga Institute. I guide students of all levels, from beginners to seasoned practitioners, through intentional, accessible, and heart-centered practices.
My teaching blends the strength and flow of Vinyasa and Ashtanga with the grounding stillness of Yin Yoga, breathwork, meditation, and Yoga Nidra. I believe yoga is not about perfection or flexibility, it’s about connection, awareness, and learning to come home to yourself.
Like many beginners, I once believed yoga required flexibility, and meditation felt impossible with a busy mind. Through consistency, patience, and compassion, the practice transformed my life from the inside out. That journey continues to inspire the way I teach today.
I offer private sessions designed to support your individual goals, whether you’re seeking increased mobility, strength, stress relief, nervous system regulation, emotional balance, or a deeper mind-body connection. My approach is welcoming, supportive, and adaptable to every stage of practice.
Additional Certifications:
• Level 1 iRest® Yoga Nidra Meditation Teacher
• Level 3 Certified Reiki Master Practitioner
Whether you are looking for healing, balance, strength, or simply a place to begin, I’m honored to support your journey.
With gratitude,
Nikki Tirado, E-RYT 500

This is my 3rd yoga meditation healing session. That is what Im going to call it. We calm the mind through meditation, then we transistion into a gentle yoga flow w some pretty intense stretching that was needed. I say intense because for me the stretching of the limbs was...Whew! I dont stretch much so this physical body thanks you. Nikki is amazing in what she does the best part is she guides you in what is happening with the body shes teaching anatomy, explaining what each position is doing. Bring your spouse, family or even one on one. I love this connection. Im truly grateful that she was put in my path .

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Human bodies are beautifully unique and sometimes a little asymmetrical—your right side might feel different from your left, and that’s totally normal. In this space, there’s no competition, no comparison, and no judgment. It’s not about how a pose looks—it’s about how it feels in your body.
My job is to guide you safely and attentively. I’ll offer clear cues, options, and support every step of the way. You are encouraged to move at your own pace, take breaks when needed, and listen to your body with kindness.
Over time, with consistent practice, you’ll build strength, awareness, and confidence in your breath and movement. You’ll begin to feel more in control, more balanced, and more connected—mind, body, and spirit.
And by the end of class, don’t be surprised if you think, “Wow… did I really do that?”
Yes. You did.
Yes. You can!

How did you get started teaching?
How I Got Started
When the world paused during COVID-19, I found myself at a crossroads: I could stay stuck in the uncertainty—or choose to move forward and create something meaningful. At the same time, I was recovering from a severed tendon in my right foot, determined to walk again without a limp.
Yoga became my lifeline. It guided my healing—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. What began as a personal recovery turned into a profound transformation. That journey reignited my passion for the practice and sparked a deep desire to share it with others.
If I could rebuild from that place, I truly believe anyone can. Whether you’re just beginning or coming back to the mat, yoga meets you exactly where you are—and helps you grow into where you’re meant to be.
What types of students have you worked with?
My teaching experience spans a diverse group of students—beginners to advanced, including seniors, youth, and individuals with mobility considerations such as those practicing chair yoga or using wheelchairs. Because yoga truly is for everybody!
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Ask me for my Free Yoga class -by invitation only, as my way of giving back to the community; Class is very limited on number of attendees or small group, offered on some occasional evenings for seniors and Local Christian Missionaries who are intimidated to step into a local gym
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look for a teacher who is certified, registered, and verifiable—someone who has received formal training and is recognized through reputable organizations like Yoga Alliance. But beyond credentials, choose someone who is passionate about their work, teaches from the heart, and creates a space where you feel seen, safe, and supported.
The best teachers are compassionate, highly professional, and genuinely committed to your growth—meeting you where you are and guiding you with care and integrity.
Checklist: Choosing the Right Yoga Teacher for You
Use this simple guide to help you find a teacher who’s the right fit for your goals, body, and spirit:
Certified & Registered

Do they express genuine passion for yoga and student growth?
Do you feel welcomed, safe, and respected in their presence?
Compassionate & Inclusive
Do they adapt practices to meet your unique needs and abilities?

What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Questions to Consider Before Talking to a Yoga Teacher About Your Needs
Before connecting with a teacher, it’s helpful to reflect on your personal health and goals. This allows the teacher to tailor sessions safely and effectively to you. Here are some important questions to think through:
Do you have any previous injuries or surgeries?
Share any past injuries that might affect your movement or require special attention.
Are there any physical limitations, range of motion issues, or chronic pains?
Knowing what movements feel difficult or painful helps the teacher modify poses for your comfort and safety.
Do you have any health complications or medical conditions?
Conditions like hypertension, diabetes, heart issues, or respiratory concerns can impact how your practice is designed.
What are your current fitness level and experience with yoga or other movement practices?
This helps your teacher meet you where you are.
What are your goals or intentions for yoga?
Whether it’s stress relief, building strength, healing an injury, or deepening mindfulness—being clear about your goals guides the practice.
Do you prefer a particular style or pace of yoga?
Some students thrive in gentle, slow classes, others in dynamic flows or meditation-focused sessions.
Being open and honest with your teacher helps create a practice that supports your well-being and growth—always honoring your body’s needs and your unique journey.
