Meet Nicky

“Change is not something that we should fear. Rather, it is something that we should welcome. For without change, nothing in this world would ever grow or blossom, and no one in this world would ever move forward to become the person they’re meant to be.”

~ B.K.S. Iyengar

A Journey Towards the Self

Nicolo Fonte, CIYT-Level 2, has been a devoted practitioner of Iyengar Yoga for more than 20 years. He studies and mentors with Holly Kostura and has studied with many Senior Iyengar teachers throughout the world, including in Europe, Australia and the USA. He earned his Level 1 Certification in 2021 and his Level 2 Certification in 2024 and is currently preparing for Level 3 certification. In addition to his teaching, he also serves on the IYNAUS Continuing Education Committee, actively participating with other Committee members on educational and creative projects alike, even choosing the 2025 IYNAUS Coast to Coast T-shirt image!

“Nicky” (as he is often called) seamlessly threads Yoga philosophy throughout his classes. Without over simplifying his instructions, he is clear and concise and uses demonstrations to further deepen your understanding of the Iyengar method of Yoga. As an internationally renowned choreographer and a former professional dancer, Nicky brings a unique understanding of the joy of movement and the elation one feels when deeply connected to one’s own body.

Nicky profoundly believes however, that the path of Yoga is ultimately an inward journey - not performative - and through the practice of asana and pranayama with exquisite awareness, a presence of mind is awakened to the deeper and more subtle aspects of Yoga as a journey towards the Self.
