Nicolo (Nicky) Fonte
Iyengar Yoga Teacher (CIYT-Level 2, E-RYT 500)
For as long as he can remember, Nicky has been searching for meaning in all that he does. When he discovered Iyengar Yoga 25 years ago, he was unequivocally hooked. The profound connections, threads, and integration of body, mind, and soul that he discovered on the Yoga mat began to weave seamlessly into his 'real life' in an overwhelmingly positive way. He recalls thinking, “This is it. I found the way.”
He believes that through the practice of asana and pranayama, with exquisite awareness, one cultivates a presence of mind that awakens the deeper, more subtle aspects of Yoga—as a journey toward the Self. Although new to the York area for less than a year, Nicky has already established a loyal following of students. His instructions are clear and concise without oversimplifying, and his thoughtful demonstrations further deepen your understanding of the Iyengar method. He is delighted to be teaching Yoga in the tradition of B.K.S. Iyengar and to share that inspiration, knowledge, and joy with you.
Rooted in precision, timing, and intelligent sequencing, Nicky's offerings include our active Iyengar Yoga for All series following the traditional Pune Cycle, as well as Monday night Restorative Iyengar with Pranayama for deep nervous system recovery. Utilizing props to adapt postures for every body, these classes build strength, alignment, and "meditation in action."
