EP20: Yoga and Mental Health with Nicole Sampson

Nicole is a Holistic Nutritionist and Yogo Instructor.

Nicole first started practicing yoga in 2010, when she was encouraged to explore the practice while working for Lululemon. As she dove deeper into the practice, Nicole found what a gift this practice could be on the path of self discovery.

This led Nicole to take her first 200HR teaching training in 2014, and she has since taken teacher trainings every 1-2 years. Nicole is currently working on her 300 HR training with Clara Roberts Oss with plans to be an 500 RYT at the end of 2021.

As the importance of her study of yoga grew, and other holistic sciences like Ayurveda, Nicole was drawn to study nutrition. In April 2020, Nicole graduated from the Holistic Nutrition Program at Pacific Rim College; the most comprehensive on-site program of Holistic Nutrition in Canada. She plans to combine these two modalities to show others how they can then care for themselves with movement and food.

Alongside yoga, Nicole has spent the last 10 years working in community building and leadership development. Nicole brings her strengths in positivity and compassionate leadership into everything she does. In her spare time, you can find Nicole hiking with her partner Liam and their dog Angus.
