Nicolette Costantino

Nicolette is in the process of becoming. She nurses chronic wanderlust, and has a habit of gazing at the night sky, lusting after the ocean, eyeing surfboards, sprawling on her screened-in porch, carting her Tibetan singing bowl around, rescuing geckos that wander indoors, scheming new yoga playlists, binging on cheese, and writing her way through. She makes choices after asking, “What am I hungry for?” This credo, so far, has meant becoming a 200-hour registered yoga instructor, acquiring an English master’s degree, teaching college composition, and completing Level Two Reiki Therapy training. Her volunteer teaching with the Boys and Girls Club inspired her to publish an article on kids yoga, titled, “A Yoga Story with Sprinkles” in Elephant Journal. She is currently pursuing her 500-hour yoga teacher training and working to host a combined workshop for classroom and kids yoga at the studio where she teaches. Nicolette finds that her roles as a yoga instructor and as Assistant Professor of English allow her to guide others to make life discoveries through a life practice.
