Nicole Sopko
To many, Nicole Sopko might seem like a typical yogi. She’s super bendy (and I do mean super!), vegan, and smiles basically all of the time. What might seem typical on the surface is the result of years of a dedicated practice, a commitment to living the yogic principles well beyond a physical practice on her mat, and a deep enjoyment of teaching others. Nicole teaches vinyasa classes in the Dharma Mittra style and is often students’ first exposure to the Yoga Trek studio as our Introduction to Yoga class instructor. Read on to learn more about Nicole, including her rebellious teenaged years, her commitment to four-legged friends, and her perspectives on the practice of yoga. Read the rest of this entry »

Are you interested in…
Shifting towards more plant-based foods?
Expanding your culinary capacity?
Discovering a new way of eating?
Enjoying a more sustainable diet?
Resetting your body’s cravings?
Feeling better inside and out?
Getting tons of support and guidance along the way?
Then join our group in the 2012 vegan challenge! One full month of a shift into a completely plant-based diet that will change your perspectives about food and yourself! More and more, plant-based diets are being credited with the ability to improve health and radically impact lives, but many of us don’t know where to begin. This challenge group will provide you the support, answers, and information that you need in order to commit to this month-long transition. There are no expectations, goals, or requirements other than those that you set for yourself and absolutely no judgments! We’ll all be here to support you along your personal path. If you are already vegan, but looking for a group to aid in a shift towards a less-processed diet, this is also the group for you!
Your guide and mentor during this month-long excursion into the wonderful world of plant-based eating is Nicole Sopko, a vegan of 16-years and a plant-based lifestyle proponent who is fully enthusiastic about all things vegan! She’ll share her knowledge, experiences, and expertise with you and may bring in some helpful guest assistance along the way.
Join us for the kick off meeting on Saturday, January 28 at 3pm
