NIKITA
MEHTA

She/Her

Vinyasa

What is something that would surprise me about you?
I have been sober for 2.5 years but I have been in recovery spaces for 18.

What can I expect from your class?
Fun, dynamic flows with lots of ab work and corny jokes.

What is the most essential part of practice for you?
A draw back to our humanity. Somatic movement to land us in this time and space.

Nikita Mehta is a writer, researcher, yoga teacher, educator and a sobriety coach. She is a 3rd generation yogi from The Yoga Institute in Mumbai, India and spent her childhood living between the US and India. She is currently finishing her 500 hr RYT and has taught in yoga festivals and yoga teacher trainings for the last 6 years. Her graduate research studied the interaction between the parasympathetic activations of yoga and meditation and their effects on the secondary manifestations of stuttering. The IRB approved study has deeper implications in today’s pandemic fatigued world and has influenced all of the practices that Nikita teaches today. 

When she is not on the mat, you can find Nikita at ballet class or roaming around a museum.
