Gentle Yoga Plus

Nicole Swingle

My fitness journey began when I was a young teen. I enjoyed running, body sculpting, and a few sports. I began my meditation yoga journey shortly after I developed a passion for body movement and mental health.

When I reached 15, my fitness career began! I started teaching yoga at a local gym a couple days a week. At the same gym, I had the opportunity to train clients who had suffered a stroke with a government funded program called Project Recovery. I also worked at the local community college in the weight training room for a program that supported movement for down's syndrome adults. We did weight room classes and swam with the adults to improve mobility and keep them active.

Currently, I do mindbody classes at the South Yuba Club including: Yoga, Barre and Pilates. I have also been doing one on one sessions with clients and small group training classes for strength and endurance for menopausal women. My studies have taken me down the path of linking movement to mental health. I have had the pleasure to offer a safe space to play in the skin one has at the moment, to explore their self talk and mental landscape as well as help sculpt their bodies and enable them to reach their fitness goals. I have also gone down the path of sports rehab for aging athletes which has been absolutely fascinating. My passion for fitness and mental health is a huge part of my own trauma healing path and why I love to share it with others. Let's go deep together and explore what is inside the skin we have on a physical and a mental level to live kinder, happier lives as a community.

Stacie Reveles

Raised in a dance studio taking ballet, tap, and jazz from the ages of 3 to 21, I found my yoga practice sustained me after my dance career. With my background in classical ballet, I enjoy teaching Barre and bring ballet terms, techniques, methodology and the joy of movement to class. In class, I especially enjoy seeing the looks of determination to get through a tough set, as well as witnessing the softness in the eyes and faces when we are flowing.

I’ve practiced yoga for over 3 decades and began teaching in 2019, and am certified in both Vinyasa and the 26&2 Series (formerly known as Bikram). I continue to take yoga courses at Ananda as I gravitate towards the fullness of Ananda yoga and the depth of their coursework. I deeply appreciate the practice of yoga and the strength, flexibility, and balance it can bring to the physical body; the release, relaxation, and allowing in the subtle body; and the peace and stillness yoga brings to the mind, heart, and soul.
My ultimate goal is to make yoga accessible through offering modifications, while keeping everyone safe in alignment and working right at our edge. Always honoring where the body is in the moment, asanas are an ongoing practice moving directionally toward your edge, and surprising yourself along the way.

Each class is yours, and you are always your greatest teacher. A favorite quote from an instructor of mine really honors the reason behind this practice, “If you come to a yoga class and stay in Savasana the whole hour…you’re doing it right!”

Gentle Yoga Plus is a Iyengar inspired yoga class that includes props to tone and align the body. In this class, we will go on a meditative journey into the body to fine tune areas around joints to allow more efficient movement through space. We will hold traditional yoga postures and use bands, blocks, and a ball to wake up parts of the body that have become dormant. This is a class for all levels of fitness and is a wonderful combination of strength and relaxation giving the mind body connection time to develop.
