NICOLE DAIGNAULT aka COCO

Ashtanga Yoga / Windsor Canada

Nicole Daignault, a.k.a. coco, lay on her back during her very first shavasana and knew that her life would be different. From the age of 13, when she was diagnosed with having scoliosis (a curvature and rotation of the spine) as well as a leg-length discrepancy, Nicole had experienced ongoing pain. Her mother even worried that carrying children would one day be too big of a burden on her. Nicole felt a pain-free bliss after that first practice and she began the physical and mental journey that brought her to this point in her life.

In 1999 Nicole made her first trip to the source of yoga: Mother India.
Her time there has been life-changing both physically and spiritually. There is no place like India. There is no place like OM.
Today Nicole is a mother of two, and a well-known, sought-after yoga teacher not only in her home town of Windsor, Ontario, Canada but also in places around the world where she had settled for periods of time over the years. She inspires people with her knowledge, passion, love and nurturing.
Her classes assist and challenge both beginners and adepts. They open the body, heart and mind. Unique and authentic, her teachings integrate bits and pieces of wisdom cultivated over years and miles, but mostly from the rewriting of her own physical story with her intuitive practice.
Nicole believes that no matter what brings one to yoga, whether a desire for less physical pain or increased mental clarity, a dedicated practitioner is already free.
While Nicole’s classes ground, strengthen and relieve the physical body, awareness of the astral body is awakened as well as other subtler aspects of the practice. Proper breathing, proper posture, meditation, chakra awareness, increased agni, and concentration on OM are emphasized.
All while having fun!
