For the Joy of Movement

by Laura Stetser

MEET NICOLE SWINGLE

Nicole’s passion for fitness began in the 8th grade. It didn’t revolve around sports, but rather the pure joy of movement. She loved to run in the morning before school and would spend time on a stationary recumbent bike everyday so she could study and keep an eye on her academic reading goals.

In high school, she started weightlifting and at age 15 she taught yoga at a local gym in her community. The gym also offered a special program for members who were recovering from a stroke. Nicole assisted by helping stroke survivors move more functionally and stay active.

Today, Nicole teaches a variety of yoga classes at South Yuba Club as well as personal training. Her yoga classes include Gentle Yoga, Barre and a new class, Yoga Sculpt.

BREATHING MINDFULLY

“I focus on mindful movement connected to breath; I often tell members you can create incredible tone from the inside out by breathing mindfully.”

A THOUSAND HOURS +

Nicole has well over a thousand hours of yoga training and certifications and continues to expand her knowledge – currently, she is learning more in-depth holistic nutrition practices.

A PERSONAL TRAINER

A few years ago, Nicole also began offering personal training because she wanted to work a little closer with members to help them reach their fitness goals.

HER GOAL

“My goal for myself and for the members who work with me is to be able to do daily living tasks as long as possible and feel strong and confident in their bodies and minds…Fitness has brought so much joy to my life; it has eased anxiety and it has made me feel confident and proud of my body.”
