Nica Celly

Nica guides breath, movement, and creative inquiry as pathways to strengthen self-trust and community connection.

Her teaching creates spaces for embodied exploration through classes, interdisciplinary workshops, and collaborative art happenings that bridge contemplative practice with creative process.

She holds an MFA from California College of the Arts and a BA from NYU’s Gallatin School, where she focused on visual language and the intersections of art, craft, and consciousness. Practicing and studying yoga since 1998, Nica began teaching in 2009 with the intention of serving where there is need. Rooted in nearly two decades of study with her primary teacher, Janet Stone (1008-hour certified, 2025), she regularly collaborates with teachers, thinkers, and contemplative practitioners through her creative consultancy and business development studio.

Currently, Nica splits her time between Todos Santos, BCS and Cazadero, California. Her work continues to explore how subtle body awareness and creative expression can reconnect us to our inner and outer landscapes.
