Welcome! My name is Nicole Loncaric Salvadori. I am a yoga instructor with a 200 hour training certificate from Om Lounge Yoga in Pittsburgh, PA (a registered Yoga Alliance school). In addition to 10 years of experience teaching dance locally, I have accumulated over 500 hours of experience teaching yoga at studios in the greater Pittsburgh area since completing my initial training in Fall 2022. I have attended multiple advanced trainings to continue my education of sequencing methods, chair yoga, and hands on assists. I am also a certified Silver Sneakers classic and yoga instructor as well as an adjunct political science professor with a PhD from the University of Pittsburgh and roughly 4 years of classroom experience across 2 universities.

My approach to yoga instruction centers the importance of strong foundations. I provide students with the space to breathe, move, and be, establishing a solid base of familiar shapes and postures from which you can grow your yoga practice in any way you’d like. It is my priority to create an environment where everyone feels welcomed and is encouraged to make their own choices on their mats: take what you need and leave what you don’t! I believe growth begins when we are able to fully ground ourselves in the present moment and remain open to whatever happens next. I look forward to practicing with you!
