Nicole Araujo

Yog Instructor

Owner of Golden Hour Yoga

I started at Combine Fitness in 2015 shortly after I came back home from living in Guatemala. I studied Yoga and meditation while I was abroad and completed my 200 Hr Yoga Alliance certificate. I’ve also completed 90 HR in prenatal Yoga.

I never expected to take this journey or career path in my life. I imagined myself becoming a nurse while I studied Kinesiology and Biology during my first few years of University. It’s funny how things worked out—I ended up graduating with an Honors Specialization in Social Justice and Peace Studies and decided nursing wasn’t the right path for me.

During my last year of University, I had some anxiety and depression about life, specifically the world, and everything else in between. Feeling lost and disconnected, I found Yoga. My relationship with this practice started in 2008, but we got more serious in University. Since then, Yoga has become more than just a practice in my life; Yoga is a way of living more mindfully off my mat.

Between freelancing and working on my Yoga Business called “Golden Hour Yoga”, you can find me indulging in poetry, writing, traveling, exploring, and sweating most of the time at Combine Fitness and during Yoga. My deepest passion is facilitating yoga adventure getaways in the Azores Portugal.

Teaching Yoga has been a beautiful opportunity for me to grow; it has provided me the tools to help others feel more connected and empowered in their own physical and spiritual bodies. This philosophy and way of life can teach us many things. It helps bring awareness to our bodies, promote strength, discipline to our minds, and teaches us to slow down and be present!

One of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves is the ability to connect over and over again in this moment, right here, right now.
