Nicole Cronin began her yogic journey in 2007 when she started a regular Ashtanga practice with a long time student of Pattabi Jois- Larry Schultz of It’s Yoga, San Francisco.
Years later, Nicole fell in love with the fluid, dynamic and soulful style of her teacher Janet Stone, along with inspiration from the crew at Laughing Lotus, kundalini teacher- Kia Miller and the alignment based gurus such as Jason Crandell and Harvey Deutch.
After losing her fiance and breaking her back in a car accident in Bangkok, Thailand in 2012, Nicole has been on a mission to spread more love, courage, warmth, compassion and light-heartedness in the world through the teachings of yoga.
Nicole also draws inspiration from many of her beloved teachers that span the realms of Buddhism, Mindfulness, Aikido & Leadership Embodiment.
Nicole has taught for Outdoor Yoga SF, companies and teams of all sizes and hosted retreats for over a decade. Nicole is also the co-owner of The Pad Studios in San Francisco, a boutique yoga studio that's known for it's light-filled, warm and urban sanctuary vibe since 2008.
