Testimonial
The first class I went to with Nubia focused on heart opening. At the end, I found myself in Shavasana listening to her beautiful chanting with hot tears running down my face into my ears… I knew a healing process had begun. Nubia’s teaching style and experience inspire me to want to take my practice deeper. I find her classes to be very deep and playful at the same time. Her stories and visualizations are inspirational and her instructions are very clear and easy to understand and follow. Nubia also focuses a lot on breath-work, which I have found to be very beneficial.
With her guidance I started to make small breakthroughs in my own practice and learning about the nuances and beauty of each pose and taking them deeper. I also found that Yoga has helped me to open my heart, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Yet, what inspired me most was that I noticed everything Nubia seemed to do (singing, dancing, Yoga) had a devotional aspect to it, what a beautiful concept! When she teaches, I see her as a conduit of light and love and a reminder that we too can be the same and carry that mindfulness through our busy daily lives. And the physical benefits? I feel stronger and less tense and my knee and hips are not bothering me as much and I have actually grown ¾ of an inch!!! True story!
When I look at Nubia I think, “I want to know what she knows!” When I learned of her Bhakti Nova Yoga Immersion I almost ran to the front desk to sign up. What a treasure, an invaluable gift. I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to learn from someone so devoted and special and I know I will take these teachings with me throughout the rest of my journey. I am SO looking forward to the immersion!
With deep gratitude,
Carrie Souza

By following their steps with integrity and devoting myself to serve others, I show up everyday in front of the altar of my heart and scream out loud in song: please take me….
