My life in words.... |
Kim Nixon
LMT, E-RYT 500, YACEP My passion for teaching yoga and doing bodywork stems from my own personal experience with the healing benefits. I see yoga and bodywork as “powerful medicine.” It's been my medicine. Maybe it could be yours, too.

I'm passionate about sharing the healing benefits of gentle movement, meditation, breathwork, and therapeutic bodywork. I'm a Licensed Massage Therapist and 500-hr Registered Yoga Teacher. I've been practicing yoga since 2006, doing bodywork since 2009, and teaching yoga since 2012. The primary focus of my practice is to provide self care tools to assist students and clients in managing stress, reducing pain, and strengthening their bodies. As both a massage therapist and yoga teacher, I think of yoga as the "active version of massage."
I manage The River Studio in Hallowell and teach weekly yoga classes at The River Studio, at Downtown Yoga & Healing Arts in Augusta, and at Good Seeds Yoga in Gardiner. I also teach specialty classes through Maine General, summer classes on the Gardiner Waterfront, and offer a variety of private classes and workshops. The Covid-19 lockdown provided the opportunity for me to get my classes onto a brand new platform, so I am now offering weekly live-streaming classes, as well. I believe that yoga is for EVERY body, and if you join me for class, you will see that reflected in my teaching style. ♥
I have more that 2000 teaching hours and a combined total of more that 1700 training hours in yoga, massage, energy medicine, and intuition studies. In addition to my 200- and 500-hour yoga certifications, I have over 250 hours of specialized training in Yin Yoga. I also have specialty certifications in Thai Yoga Bodywork, Prenatal Yoga, Pranayama (breathwork), Meditation, Ayurvedic Yoga, Polarity, Reiki, and Integrated Energy Therapy® (IET.) My current plans include ongoing study in Yin Yoga and deepening my own practice.
Self care is the most nurturing and important thing we can do for ourselves. Please join me for a class or call me to schedule a therapeutic massage session, a private yoga class, or a group self care presentation. Namaste.
