Coco (Nicole Daignault) shares physically
safe foundations of Yoga postures and movements. Her demonstrations offer gentle, moderate, strong,
and often chair-supported versions of asanas and movements. Weaving breathwork, meditations, asana
practice integrated from sequences and inspiration developed over her 25 years
of practice, Coco’s classes bring awareness to the ancient wisdom and practice
of Yoga.
Yoga Teacher Training from Varanasi, India, in 1999.
It is suggested to come to class with little-to-no food in the stomach, yoga mat, blanket, pillow, kleenex.
Like her teacher in India, Coco keeps her students on their toes, never knowing what to expect!

"Yogena yogojnatavya yogo yogatpravartate yo pramattastu yogena sa yoga ramate ciram"
-Vyasa
Yoga is to be known by yoga. Yoga is the teacher of yoga. The power of yoga manifests through yoga alone. He who does not become careless, negligent or inattentive, he alone rests in yoga and enjoys yoga.
