Testimonials and Client Love

"The first yoga class that I ever took was a special yoga with live music event (with Nicole and Girish) which was amazing and trippy and so effective. Their chemistry (words and music) and the fluidity of the class they crafted were so memorable. Afterwords, I could touch my toes for the first time in years. I felt like I floated from the studio. Nicole is a talented teacher --- skillful, professional, warm and friendly. I plan to keep going to her classes. I've also taken her Zumba class which is like attending a super fun dance party. I almost forgot I was working out!" Cathryn C. [ Cathryn is an accomplished SCUBA diver, co-founder of c2g2 Productions and the author of Ocean Metaphor - Unexpected Life Lesson From The Sea ]

"I love Nicole! She's an amazing, caring yoga teacher. I travel all over the state of California (and across the U.S.) collaborating with yoga teachers and she's one of the best! I highly recommend her classes." Girish Music [ Girish is a talented musician + Yoga Teacher and author of Music and Mantras ]

"Nicole is an excellent fitness specialist! We're lucky to have her running our corporate gym and wellness program. When we began working together I could barely play a full game of golf. My back and knees ached so badly. My arthritis was preventing me from enjoying my golf game. She continuously encouraged me to exercise. I kept coming to the gym. She helped me develop consistency. She designed exercise programs for me that made working out something I looked forward to doing. I lost ten pounds. I feel like I'm managing my arthritis much better. I've ditched the golf cart and I'm walking the course. I'm playing the game that I love again." Do Cao [ Advanced Micro Devices ]

"I love to swim. Before I started working with Nicole, I couldn't straighten my left arm when using the kick board. Swimming was becoming more of a challenge due to shoulder pain and limited mobility. After we worked together 2x's week for two months --- training mobility, strengthening and stretching --- I can. Now, I'm swimming as many days a week as I possibly can." Ted H.

"Nicole, I admire how you take care of us with your words --- your cuing brings out the best in us. It really does! After your Flow Yoga classes I stand a little taller, my heart is more open and my feet are firm on the ground. Chris and I are so happy to be practicing with you again. Feels like old times. With gratitude!" Annapoorna A.

"My low back pain was increasing when I first met Nicole. She taught me some great stretches, and encouraged me to pause and breathe deeply more often. She also introduced me to the yoga wheel and yoga tune up balls. I feel so much better!" Justin [ Firefighter - Woodside Fire Protection District ]

"I enjoy personal training with Nicole. She gets me. We don't just workout in the gym. We also go wakeboarding. She understands what I do and we train for it. My wife introduced me to Nicole after they trained together. My wife loves taking Nicole's group fitness classes at her company's on site gym (3COM). Nicole introduced me to practicing yoga. Nicole helped me understand how to have better balance in my body and my approach to working out and weight management." Captain Joe C. [ San Jose Fire Department ]

"Yoga class was so good this morning! Thanks for continuing to bring your energy to us over Zoom during these dreary pandemic days." Kerry N.

"I love taking your Flow Yoga classes in person. Your yoga classes and Flight School workshop are out of this world! I've also enjoyed your virtual yoga class. My husband does too. It's definitely helped me keep my sanity during 2020!" Brendan + Rebekah F.

"So thankful for @alohayogaandfitness --- YOU HAVE HELPED ME SO MUCH THIS PAST YEAR THAT WAS 2020! Thank you endlessly for your grace, patience, heart and weekly yoga classes." Ruby C.

"My husband John and I have heartily embraced and enjoyed Nicole Wargo's virtual yoga classes during this shelter in place period. Her classes are so well planned and give excellent results." Peggy W.

"I go to Nicole's Vinyāsa Flow Yoga class because she is my favorite yoga teacher. When my parents are visiting from India we love to attend her classes together. As a long time yoga practitioner, I love Nicole's class because she designs each session as a physical and spiritual journey. Her musical selection, whether it's a U2 remix or a western fusion Hindu mantra, is meaningful. Class is sculpted to make every pose sequence something special. Sometimes you sweat. Sometimes you don't. Working up a sweat is not the point of Nicole's yoga class, rather it's all about the flow of prāna - and she's 'Matrix-like' in her ability to make adjustments." Rajiv P.

"Nicole, I am so glad that I found you through yoga. Your Flow Yoga classes have been a constant for me for years. And it has made all the difference to me feeling flexible and connected. Our yoga experiences in the studio and yoga on the beach have been so important to me. Thank you!" Carisa O.

"Nicole creates exercise programs that you want to do. Her workouts are well balanced and effective. She's helped me get in shape, and I just feel better. I also feel like I've gained a better sense of work and life balance. She always makes me feel welcome when I show up for a workout! She manages our company's fitness, wellness and recreation program like a boss! She's organized the most amazing activities like ski trips, whale watching, discovering SCUBA sessions, surfing lessons in Santa Cruz, kayaking in Moss Landing, camping and whitewater rafting on the American River. These trips have been so fun! Since Nicole introduced me to kayaking, I'm hooked." Ken E. [ Advanced Micro Devices ]

"I've been practicing yoga with Nicole for many years --- at Menlo Pilates & Yoga and Studio Rincon. She's my favorite yoga teacher in the Bay Area! My friends and family enjoy her classes too. I highly recommend Nicole's Flow Yoga classes and Flight School yoga inversion workshop. She taught me to do a headstand and so much more!" Sheri B. [ Sheri is the Editorial Director at PUNCH Magazine ]

"I love your lyrical way of speaking during class. Not just the words, which are poetic in a magical way, but the rhythm and tone of your voice. It casts a bit of a spell on me, and really helps get my mind and body to align." Nanci G.

"Dear Nicole, Thank you, thank you, thank you! It is no exaggeration to say that you have changed my life. I've been taking Yoga for over 20 years and I've never had a teacher like you. Your thoughtfulness and presence in the classroom are wonderful. You've made yoga new for me again, and I'm so thankful." Hannah H.

"I highly recommend taking Nicole Wargo's Vinyāsa Flow Yoga class. In class tonite she made the story of Hanuman come to life. Her teaching style is very wise. She incorporates slow intentional movements, long pauses, smart sequencing with crystal clear and precise cuing. I am looking forward to going back to learn more about the stories behind the asanas of yoga." Robin J.

"Dear Nicole, I LOVE YOUR FLOW YOGA CLASSES! I love that you bust out 90's rock, rap, classic rock and sometimes Bieber. Your music is the best! Your yoga class is unlike any other. You are strong, powerful, kind and your big heart shines through in every class you teach. You are a joy in my life, and I'm so grateful for you." Julie J.

"Nicole, Whenever I think of you I think of this quote 'they may forget what you said, but they won't forget how you made them feel'. You always present such an amazing energy that feels beyond welcoming and incredibly empowering. I hope to one day be half the teacher you are. Thank you for being such a generous mentor and friend." Lisa M.

"Dear Nicole, Thank you for offering such a wonderfully unique yoga class! I always leave feeling stronger, more relaxed and happier. You have a warm and positive energy that you radiate to all of your students." Amalie V.

"I love Nicole's Vinyāsa Flow Yoga classes. I am a yoga teacher myself and make an effort to take her classes whenever I can because she is the REAL DEAL. Her flows are intelligently crafted, and she's mastered the balance of blending asana, mantra and meditation. My body always feels better after her class. I find that I've had an opportunity to get a 'work in' rather than a workout. Nicole's very skilled at offering options to students of all levels. Mixed level classes can be tough to teach. Nicole does it with steadiness and ease. She's welcoming to every student who sets foot in the room. Her vibe is so authentic and genuine --- this is a real yogini." Hillary E.

"Nicole is humbly amazing. I continue to take her Vinyāsa Flow Yoga class because she is really in tune with her students. Lately I come out of class feeling like she has tailored the entire class just to meet my needs. She pays attention to the poses we favor, and those we don't. She challenges us to go further while continually coaching students to listen to and honor their body. She helps students build fundamental skills like a boss!" Lindsey D.

"Nicole helped me get moving. She shows up at my office weekly with well balanced workouts. Her attention to detail and ability to explain different exercises is exquisite. I highly recommend working with Nicole. She will change your perception of human movement for the better." Phil Hammer [ City of San Jose, Mayor Consort ]
