Nicole Roerick-Lead Teacher

Nicole is an advocate for movement and expression and her main mediums are Yoga, Dance, and Pilates. She has over 500 hours of Yoga certification, Breathwork/Meditation certification, MFA in Dance, and is trained in Stott Pilates. An opportunity to teach Dance abroad took her to an International School in Cairo, Egypt where she taught and lived for 4 years before moving to San Diego in 2018. 

Nicole loves to fuse her knowledge and experience into her teachings and hopes to inspire others to move. She believes that movement is for EVERYONE and strives to create a space for all bodies in her classes. She embraces discomfort in the unknown and allowing the body and mind to find their way through. Her movement practices have allowed her to find strength, mobility, healing, body awareness, and so much more. She is an anatomy junkie and loves to incorporate functional movement patterns into her teaching. Her movement brand is EvolveXNicole and she leads classes, events, and retreats to inspire everyone to move in their most authentic way.
