YogAnga Retreat at Sri Santosh Puri Ashram: Explore a yogic lifestyle, where yogis were born and raised… on the bank of the sacred Ganga River in the foothills of the Himalayas (between Haridwar and Rishikesh).
BiographyDocumentary Film-making and photography brought Nicole Jaquis to India in December 2000; where eventually as the search for good characters became the search for good gurus, the lessons got deeper and deeper, and the filmmaker/photographer/ writer (in their self) got so engrossed in being (present) at the moment, soaking up all the wisdom she could digest, that actually doing sadhana began to take precedence over documenting it.
However Nicole does have over 1000 hours worth of various teacher training certificates in Hatha Yoga, Therapeutic Yoga, Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Classical Kundalini, and a trauma informed teacher training with Liberation Prison Yoga, their real training in the Hatha Tantra Tradition comes from living among the Naga Sanyasis of Śri Pañc Daśnām Juna Akhara (the oldest and largest organization of ascetic renunciate yogis) and other Nath Yogis.
Focusing on sadhana curriculum development over the years, while teaching asana, prāṇayama and śatkarma, they have produced course guide books for Hatha Yoga Teacher Trainings, Beginner’s Sanskrit, Sukṣma Vyāyām, Marmas, Ayurveda Intensive courses for YogAnga Retreat at Santosh Puri Ashram.
When not at Santosh Puri Ashram, Nicole lives in the Himalayas at Taptkund Mahadev Mandir in Bageshwar District in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand (about 40km below Pindari Glacier), where they focus on their own practice, studies and sadhana curriculum development for transformational retreats, as well as teach local youth: yoga, meditation, English, music and art.
