MEET THE TEAM
Nikki Warren
Owner, Vinyasa and Restorative Teacher, and Yoga Therapist
Falling in love with Yoga was a head-over-heels kind of tumble for Nikki. Enjoying the improved flexibility and ease that came along with her practice that began in 2012, Nikki followed the flow she’d found herself in and immersed herself in 500 hours of Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training. Inspired and committed to growing as a teacher, she would go on to complete 800 hours of Yoga Therapy training and 50 hours of Yoga Nidra training. Nikki has brought her experience to students around the globe in various settings, encouraging them to explore the connections between the mind, body, and breath. From her fiery vinyasa flow classes to her soft and sweet restorative sessions, her dedication, curiosity, and creativity allow her to weave her unique knowledge & magic into every sequence she designs.
Sue Murnane

Sue has been a group fitness instructor teaching a wide variety of classes for over 30 years. In 2011 she discovered yoga at Lake Placid Hot Yoga and fell in love with the practice.

Anna Nyman
Power Yoga, Vinyasa, and Restorative Teacher
Anna stumbled upon yoga through the St. Lawrence University Yoga Club the day after she stepped off her college ski team in 2015. She had been a competitive athlete for 11 years and craved self-discovery. She hated her first yoga class, but she kept going back for a reason she couldn’t explain. Nine years later she is an experienced instructor who has developed a love for sharing this practice with others who are also craving self-discovery.

Brooks Fraser
Hatha and Vinyasa Teacher
Brooks' beloved journey with yoga began twenty years ago at The Yoga Room in Astoria, Queens with Hot Yoga and Vinyasa. What she discovered there was that movement through asana and connecting to the breath was the gateway to mind-expanding and life-changing lessons. She completed her first teacher training there in 2006 in Hot Core Power Yoga. Brooks has been so fortunate to practice at incredible studios over the years including Laughing Lotus and Yogamaya in NYC. In 2017, she began attending regular classes at the Kadampa Meditation Center in Manhattan under the direction of Resident Teacher/National Spiritual Director, Kadam Morten. Brooks completed her 200 Hour Certification in Hatha Yoga and Ayurveda with Gretchen Mills at High Peaks Yoga and Ayurveda in Lake Placid in early 2023 with a full heart.
Brooks looks forward to continuing on this path of intention as she leads classes with the belief that yoga and meditation is for everybody and every body. She is dedicated to expanding her knowledge of yoga, meditation, breathwork, mindfulness and spirituality and sharing that with the community.
Beth McNally
Restorative and Yin Yoga Teacher
I began my journey with yoga only a few years ago in 2014. I started practicing hot vinyasa at the insistence of a friend of mine, and immediately fell in love with the practice and the cathartic rhythm of movement and breath, coupled with heat. After sometime I decided to attend their 200 hour High Peaks Yoga Teacher Training, just as a way to deepen my own personal practice, however, upon completing my training I came to the realization that I wanted try my hand at teaching as a way to challenge myself personally. When I began on this whole journey I had no intention on ever teaching classes, but yet, once I began teaching I realized I had so much more to learn, not only in my own practice but in my teaching style, and wanting a better understanding of the other practices of yoga. Since then my personal practice and teaching style have changed greatly. I encourage attendees to move slow, linger in poses, notice how they feel, and create a better connection with their bodies. I have since went on to become certified in Yin, Restorative, Deep Restorative, Reiki Level 2, and a deeper study of yoga's history and philosophy. I am now currently working on becoming a 500-YTT.
Noelle Wood
Vinyasa Teacher
Hello and thank you for being here, now.
I am Noelle and I have been practicing yoga for nearly a decade becoming certified in Vinyasa and Yin in 2020. I originally began yoga to relieve back pain and the more I practiced the more I wanted it to relieve my mental pain, and help me open up spiritually. Self care comes in many different forms and my classes foster your physical, mental and spiritual needs to balance you, your practice and hopefully your life. My guidance offers an approach that is accessible to all levels, where you are free to flow, challenge yourself and relish in the beauty of stillness. Music is our friend, and therapeutic in offering a lyrical understanding within a vibrational journey. Let my creative playlists enhance your practice with a theme that takes you out of your mind and into the heart of your mat, your higher Self.
Namaste
