Nikki Lock

Nikki has a passionate and contagious love for movement and creating spaces that nurture and support community. Her classes encourage self-love, creative expression, celebrating uniqueness and a sense of awe and playfulness. She found her passion for dance, yoga and performance over 30 years ago. 

She first became a part of our Rainbow Tribe in 2016 during the Yoga for Kids and Families Teacher Training with Gopala in Vancouver, BC. After that she travelled to Italy in 2018 to complete the 360 hour Rainbow Yoga Specialisation Teacher Training. There she studied  Fertility Yoga, Pregnancy Yoga, Baby Yoga and Wise Women Yoga. She also completed training in Yoga in the classroom, Kids Yoga, Teen Yoga, Family Yoga, Partner Yoga, Community Yoga and Yoga Therapy. She has been teaching yoga in schools, childcare centres and her studio for the past 9 years. She is SO excited to take on the role of Canadian Teacher Trainer this year! 

Nikki has also trained at many facilities throughout the world including The Canadian College of Performing Arts and The Royal Winnipeg School of Ballet. Nikki graduated from the Vancouver Island University with a Technical Theatre Diploma, the Canadian College of Performing Arts with a Performance Certificate and Camosun College with an Exercise & Wellness Diploma.

Nikki found her passion for teaching at an early age and has been sharing her joy of movement in any form with students for the past twenty five years. Nikki has also studied with RAD(Royal Academy of Dance) and CDTA(Canadian Dance Teachers Association). She is a member of the Canadian Dance Teachers Association in Ballet and Jazz and an associate member in Modern. She is also a certified facilitator of THEGROOVE™ and THEGROOVE™ for Kids.

Nikki opened Wild Roots Dance & Yoga studio in 2019. When Nikki is not in the studio, she loves to spend time with her family, sail around the beautiful islands surrounding Vancouver Island, climb cliffs, host gatherings in her home, explore the world, camp in her delica and dance barefoot any chance she gets...

I gratefully acknowledge that the land on which the studio stands are the unceded ancestral lands of the Lək̓ʷəŋən and WSÁNEĆ Peoples, known today as the Esquimalt and Songhees First Nations. We give gratitude to the indigenous leaders and ancestors whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day. I am aware of the history and current systems of colonialism and racism in Canada and their impacts on Indigenous and other racialized peoples, and I am committed to listening, learning, healing and change.
