Nicole Raftery (Yoga Instructor)

Meet Nicole Raftery, a passionate movement enthusiast who has been practicing yoga for over 13 years to find a wonderful blend of mind, body, and soul. Having earned her yoga teaching certification in 2025, she is thrilled to step into her first routine teaching position, eager to learn, grow, and build connections within a new community. Outside of the studio, Nicole works in the metal recycling industry supporting environmental compliance—a role that reflects her deep passion for the planet. She enjoys a wonderful support system of friends, family, and a perfect little cat who loves to scratch her yoga mat. When she isn't working or teaching, Nicole fills her time with a vibrant mix of hobbies, including reading, gardening, bike riding, taking long walks, baking, traveling, strength training, watching movies, and swimming in warm weather. This love for nature deeply influences her teaching style; she intentionally blends the natural environment with movement and mindset. On rainy days, her classes reflect the weather with the sound of light rain, shades of blue, and a softer, slower flow, while sunny days bring the sounds of birds and the wind, bright shades of yellow, green, and orange, and a more energy-driven sequence. Embracing all the beautiful, different days in between, Nicole looks forward to welcoming you to her class!
