Third Eye Yoga

The intro to yoga package is the way to go and definitely worth the money! Nicole is incredibly informative, thorough and great to work with. I really appreciated the way things were explained and after experiencing my first few yoga classes at a studio, I am SO happy I started with Nicole.
I hurt my lower back about 3 years ago and Nicole really took the time to explain the poses and any modification (s) I could do to protect/​strengthen my back.
It is very clear that she puts in the time to make the program specific to each client. I looked forward to my sessions and am very thankful that I decided to purchase the package! If you are thinking about it… DO IT.

Don’t have enough positive things to say about my experience with the Intro to Yoga package at Third Eye Yoga. Prior to the Intro classes, I had no experience with yoga and found these classes to be an great tool for any beginner. Being a competitive weightlifter, I wanted to find ways to incorporate the core principles of yoga to improve my performance in the gym (e.g., breathing, alignment, neuro-​muscular recruitment, etc.). Nicole takes the time to explain the impact beyond the mat and how it translates into everyday life, and for me, the impact in the gym. Personally, everything covered resonated with me in regards to improving lifestyle and building a more healthful foundation. I did my due diligence in finding the right yoga program for and screened a number of highly rated places throughout the city. Third Eye Yoga definitely lived up and exceeded my expectations being robust in the topics covered, providing a comfortable environment to learn, giving me the tools to integrate into my lifestyle.

I can’t say enough good things about the Intro to Yoga package I completed with Nicole. Beyond being just knowledgeable, she knew how to present the information in digestible amounts so that I felt as though I was always engaged and learning. She blends some of the things I might have previously viewed as «new-​agey» with so much science and anatomy knowledge that I was able to silence my inner cynic and really learn the skills that have already started to improve my day to day life.
Having someone work with me one on one with the poses was great, but really the thing that was game changing was the way she helped me develop strategies for incorporating yoga into my daily life.
As a bartender I work long shifts on my feet, she has given me ways to stretch and breathe that I can do when I’m in the middle of a twelve hour shift that really improve the way I feel during and after long days. She taught me so much about breathing that has shifted the way I face the day, reducing anxiety and improving my mood almost immediately. And because I’m not the most flexible person (yet), she showed me modifications and stretches I could do to increase flexibility and get the same benefits of the full pose.
I feel like the thing that keeps the people who need yoga the most, from getting such an amazing introduction is that most private lessons are over $ 100/​hour. Third eye has made this package more affordable (which is amazing), but also they have exponentially increased the value of the lessons. Nicole isn’t just teaching you how to do yoga poses. She’s teaching you from the inside out about incorporating yoga into your life in a million different ways. You leave there feeling like the poses are the least important part, and the core of what you’ve learned will carry you on an amazing journey for the rest of your life.
Tonight I attended my first regular group class. I was still very much a beginner, but I was confident in my practice and my core and so I left feeling positive and excited about continuing with yoga. Do yourself a favor. Treat yourself to this. You won’t regret it.

the intro to yoga package with nicole was exactly what i was looking for… after years of trying yoga off and on, i never got over feeling like a complete newb — traditional classes would go too fast, i had no idea what the poses were or how to do them. logically i always knew that yoga was beneficial, i just felt like i couldn’t access it.
i wanted instruction on the basics, and this was so much more than that! i really enjoyed working with nicole because her approach is holistic — she explains how posture, alignment, balance, breathing affect all aspects of life — and she’s also very intentional. every pose counts and you can feel it!
i learned a lot from working with nicole and for once i’m excited to try a group yoga class! i can’t wait to apply what i’ve learned.

I’ve been practicing yoga on and off for years with minimal success — am I doing the pose correctly? how do I maintain my breathing? am I pushing myself too hard? not enough? So, I decided to work with Nicole at Third Eye Yoga. And I’m so glad I did. What a positive experience! Nicole is patient, supportive, and knowledgeable. Not only do I feel confident when practicing yoga, but her instruction has also been incredibly useful in my day-​to-​day life.

It was such an amazing experience to work with Nicole from Third Eye! A friend and I did a series of private lessons together, and I learned more in our six classes than I have in many years of intermittent group classes. Nicole is so knowledgable, patient and non-​judgemental — she is incredibly supportive and really wants to help her students become more aware of their needs and areas to work on. Each class focused on a specific area, and Nicole provided a framework and description of the poses and methods so that we left with a solid understanding, not just of how to do the pose properly, but why they are beneficial.
Most group yoga classes that I’ve been to have been somewhat competitive and fast-​paced. Working with Nicole was so different — she really encouraged us to develop a sense of what feels right, and to go at our own pace. Nicole taught us the right way to do many basic poses — after more than 10 years of practicing with less observant instructors.
I would absolutely recommend Nicole at Third Eye for anyone who is ready to invest in their yoga practice. Her level of attention and support is really priceless, and I still incorporate a lot of what I learned into my daily practice.

I know, as if Nicole needed another 5 star review… I still felt compelled to write one. That’s because she’s a terrific person, and her Intro to Yoga package was such an amazing experience for me. The information about my body and mind that I learned has had a profound impact on me, and what I learned is applied throughout my day, in all that I do. Nicole has a gift for translating scientific details about what’s going on in your body into laymen’s terms. I would, without a doubt, refer anyone looking for yoga instruction to Nicole and I’ll continue to practice with her going forward.

I always wanted to practice yoga, but I constantly became self-​conscious when the instructors would correct me throughout the class. I would immediately throw-​in the towel, and became convinced that I was too inflexible to ever really practice yoga.
A couple of months I decided to make a shift in my life and focus more on my health and wellness. I decided to give yoga another try and invest in private lessons. I found Third Eye Yoga on Unilocal and was really drawn to their philosophy. I have really enjoyed working with Nicole. She is very friendly, patience, and knowledgeable; she thoroughly explains the theory behind the movements and how everything connects.
Like with everything in life, finding the right yoga practice for you is a journey. I now feel confident enough to attend a class and not feel bad or awkward if I can’t do a movement or if I need a break. It truly is life changing when one learns to be more in tune with your body, both physically and mentally.
I definitely recommend Third Eye Yoga!

I started practicing yoga back in 2006. I had a private teacher who I thought was good until I met Nicole.
I stopped practicing for about 3 years after that as I went to massage school. I still missed my yoga practice but felt very inflexible and out of practice. I am very glad I found Third Eye Yoga to help get me back into a regular practice again.
After 6 sessions with Nicole I can say she is an AWESOME teacher. The way she teaches is very patient and informative. I especially like how she breaks down the asanas (poses) and explains their anatomical benefits. The instruction is very relaxed, focused and friendly. I prefer this much better than a class as the focus is on me and I don’t feel like I missing something or don’t understand what we’re doing.
I am very much looking forward to my new journey with a great teacher!

I researched over 100 yoga teachers from long island to new jersey and decided to give Nicole at Third Eye Yoga a try and I am glad I did., there was two reasons for me to find just the right yoga instructor, first I was new to yoga and I wanted to learn it the right way, and also I have serious neck and back problems which I am hoping will be relieved by adding yoga to my life. I traveled from queens to Brooklyn for the 5 one on one sessions with Nicole, in was definitely worth it.
Nicole started the first session by just listening to me explain the condition of my body and mind, after that she explained to me what yoga was all about and how it can be used to improve a persons physical and mental health, she began teaching me the basic yoga poses, correcting and adjusting me all along the way, she explained how very small adjustments in the poses can make the difference between getting a lot of benefit or just a little., Nicole provided it me with a strong base and understanding of yoga to build on and as my yoga practice improves I will be returning to her for more advanced learning.

As a true beginner and not ever having taken a yoga class before going to Third Eye Yoga, I’m glad I went the route I did by receiving the proper instruction and education on the fundamentals of yoga from Nicole. This is the best way to learn not only about the «how» but the «why». And yoga is a practice with a very personal intent… mine was to eliminate chronic pain that I’ve endured for many years and to prevent it in the future. Needless to say, it works!
I can’t say enough positive things about Nicole’s approach, and what I’ve learned, I use it in my everyday life. I have taken other yoga classes, and those fundamentals stay with me. it’s also easier to weed out the not-​so-​good classes!
Third Eye Yoga sets the bar on excellent yoga instruction. I recommend it to anyone who is serious about their practice.

I’m 4 sessions in to the 5 session package with Nicole, and, after previous experiences here and there, am truly inspired to begin a regular practice. Breathing, alignment, form, and above all the current state of my own body: getting a handle on these, putting these first, is giving me the confidence to make my practice my own, regardless of the teacher or class. That’s what I need, that’s what I’m getting, and much more besides. Highly recommended.

I am a beginner with yoga… it’s the one thing in life I knew would be good for me, but I was class-​averse. Meeting Nicole and Third Eye Yoga was the best way to begin! She is an EXCELLENT yoga teacher who has set me on the right path towards getting the most out of my yoga practice.
It’s essential to do things the right way, and Nicole definitely teaches yoga the right way! I would recommend Third Eye Yoga to ANYONE. Don’t hesitate, contact them. You’ll be grateful you did.

I’ve literally never done yoga in my life and hardly knew anything about it other than the fact that people said they loved it. I found Nicole through Unilocal and am glad I did. Her private lessons really taught me the dos and donts of yoga. I have a lot of issues including bad knees, bulging discs in my neck, an achey shoulder, etc. and I wanted to make sure I learned how to properly do poses without hurting myself. She took the time to focus on my problems and teach me how to modify poses for myself. The studio is in a great location with tons of street parking, so that’s a plus! I now feel ready to continue with my yoga anywhere I go!

When I found Third Eye Yoga, I was a little skeptical of private classes at such an affordable rate but I decided to give it a try anyhow. After my first lesson it became apparent that Nicole keeps classes affordable because she genuinely wants to share her knowledge and make it accessible to everyone. Nicole is truly a master at her craft and you will not find anyone with her level of knowledge or skill anywhere else in the West Hollywood area. No matter what skill level you are at, Nicole will develop a curriculum that will have you hooked from day one. Let’s just say, I have extended my class packages two times already!
If you are a beginner who is hesitant to try a group class because you are intimidated — You need to come to Third Eye Yoga.
If you are experienced with yoga and are looking for a new way to expand your practice — You need to come to Third Eye Yoga.
If you are someone looking to expand your horizons both mentally and physically — You need to come to Third Eye Yoga.
I think I have made my point. Just give it a try and you too will be signing up for Unilocal just to tell everyone how amazing this studio is.

As a beginner student I was afraid to go to group yoga classes without a good understanding of fundamental principles and postures. Nicole mollified my fears and more importantly made yoga approachable, fun, and part of my every day routine — the way it is meant to be practiced.
Nicole has the patience, temperament, and knowledge students need to learn how to practice yoga with the correct physical form and mental energy. I recommend Nicole with five stars.

I am new to Yoga and just completed Nicole’s five session Intro to Yoga package. I found the sessions to be enjoyable and highly educational. Nicole is a warm and knowledgeable instructor; her enthusiasm for Yoga as a practical and accessible aspect of one’s life is contagious. Highly recommended!

If you are looking to do some yoga and get a great workout then give Nicole a call. She is the best, I’m at her group lessons twice a week. The class sizes are purposefully kept small and intimate, it almost has a private lesson vibe. Nicole is knowledgeable about health, classes constantly flow, there is always something to keep things interesting, and the environment is fun and relaxed.
I’ve tried other places and this is by far the best yoga experience I’ve ever had. I’ve been going to her for almost a year now.

They don’t make enough stars on the chart for this studio. I had been to other Yoga studios in LA, but felt lost in a sea of people and was lucky if the instructor even looked my way during the course of the session. I spent a long time looking for a yoga studio that would educate me about the practice of Yoga, and would patiently guide me through the process and I could not have found a better teacher in Nicole Ulrick. Her experience, patience, focus, and dedication to the practice are evident within minutes of meeting her and she is genuinely interested in the health, happiness and well being of her clients. She is so supportive and inspires me to really push to the next level, while at the same time, ensuring that I find peace and tranquility in my practice.
If you are looking for an excellent instructor, not only in the practice of Yoga, but Meditation as well, then Third Eye Yoga is the studio for you. I am blessed to have found this studio and cherish my sessions with Nicole!

This is an amazing space where the teacher really focuses and helps you grow.
I have brought several friends here and every single one say they loved it and have been coming back.
the flows are unusual yet not too strange to break your movement and really challenge you to strengthen some of those less comfortable zones (such as my lovely balance!!)
Must Try for anyone that is more about growing in their practice than checking out the rest of the ocean of people in otherwise typical crowded spaces.
