In this episode of The Magic Mindfulness Podcast, we are joined by the warm and insightful Niki Bruce, owner of the Center Yoga Collective. In the year since she transitioned from social work into her role as a yoga studio proprietor, Niki has seen her life transform through the practices of yoga and mindfulness—a transformation she generously shares with her community.
In this episode, we'll explore the pervasive superwoman syndrome and the importance of slowing down to nurture our well-being. With candor, Niki will relate how the teachings of yoga have helped her navigate life's challenges, including a difficult career transition, by empowering her to authentically regulate her nervous system and embrace the feminine power of receptivity.
We’ll dive deep into the philosophy of yoga beyond the mat, the life-changing nature of yoga teacher training, and how Niki and I have expanded our own comfort zones by retraining our nervous systems. We’ll also discuss the mutual growth that occurs between a yoga teacher and their students, the power of self-awareness, and the collective energy we contribute to the world through our daily practices of mindfulness and gratitude.
And, of course, we'll touch upon the importance of showing up for ourselves—messy and raw—as we allow the universe's potential to unfold. So take a moment to breathe, center yourself, and let's embrace the wisdom that Niki brings to our practice of Magic Mindfulness.

About Niki Bruce:
Niki began her yoga journey at an Iyengar-style yoga studio in Atlanta in 1999. As a spiritual seeker, yoga became a life-long touchstone that eventually led her to yoga teacher training at The Center under the teaching of Suzanne Perrine. A self-described “cusser and a crier,” Niki’s practice and teachings are authentic, raw and honest. Her extensive background in the mental health field informs her teaching style. In class, you can expect to move, breathe, and BE...perfectly imperfect, and precisely as you are. Her message? "Show up. Show up messy. Show up anyway...Just. Show. Up."
