Nicole Byrne, Owner and Yoga Instructor
In 2018, Nicole founded NB Yoga & Wellness to create a welcoming, intimate environment where students of all levels can explore yoga and holistic healing, feeling supported every step of the way.
Nicole has been passionate about yoga since 1999 and began her teaching journey in 2009. With extensive training in Vinyasa, Therapeutic, Yin Yoga, and Yoga for Osteoporosis, she has designed classes that create space for students to reconnect with their breath, recharge, and relax. Nicole believes that commitment and consistency are the keys to experiencing the full benefits of yoga—and that everyone can find a practice that suits their body and needs.
As a lifelong learner and advocate of personal growth, life circumstances in 2021 led Nicole to discover the profound benefits of mindfulness for healing and transformation. This journey inspired her to become a hypnotherapist and to develop Empowered Mind/Body Freedom sessions, drawing on her experience to guide others toward optimal wellness.
When not in the studio, you can find Nicole enjoying life with family and friends, working out, reading a great book, spending time on the beach, hiking, or traveling.

Celina Ngaim, Yoga Instructor
Celina has been practicing yoga since 2004. She was initially drawn to the practice for the physical benefits and discovered how yoga can bring mindfulness and inner peace to everyday life. Her classes are influenced by the Vinyasa, Iyengar and Jivamukti teachers with whom she studied.
Her mission is to make yoga accessible to everyone and help students bring mindfulness to their practice on and off the mat. Above all, Celina focuses on alignment to bring awareness to the body, observing the breath, and the mind.
Through a mindfulness practice, she inspires her students to find steadiness, ease and compassion in their journey on and off the mat.
She holds a 500-hr advanced teacher training certification. She also completed additional trainings with Judith Hanson Lasater in Restorative Yoga and Backcare Immersion, and Ingrid Yang for Yoga for Cancer Survivors.
At NBYW, Celina teaches Mindful Flow and Restorative yoga classes. You can follow Celina on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/steadinessandeaseyoga/
