ABOUT NIKKI
Nikki Baksh is a multi-disciplinary artist and interfaith minister. She is recognized as a black belt in Shotokan Karate, earning the title at the young age of 8. She has since become an undefeated 2x National Champion and is well-known for her record-breaking performances in N.C.F.L.'s Dramatic Performance. In addition to her athletic achievements, she is also a published Poet, Activist, and respected Celebrity Teacher. She is a holistic wellness coach who works with creatives in the film, television, and fashion industries, helping them find balance and inner peace through yoga and meditation. Her clientele includes spiritual seekers, conscious minded artists, yoga teachers, and wellness practitioners.
Her professional career as a dancer, choreographer, and producer coupled with leading worldwide yoga and meditation retreats, earned her the reputation of being “transformative," "out of the box" and "having cracked the code on Modern Wellness." She is an active member of Amnesty International and has been a champion of human rights and social justice activism, since she was 8 years old, having met UN Ambassador and esteemed actress, Audrey Hepburn.
As the founder of Dolls of Eden, she combines yoga philosophy with dance, creating a safe haven for survivors to reclaim, heal, and explore their feminine power and sacred energy. She speaks and guest lectures at workshops and corporate events on working with Feminine Energy within Yoga Science, including the fundamental embodiment of Kriyas through Dance. She is the creator of 𝗡𝗶𝗸𝗸𝗶 𝗕𝗮𝗸𝘀𝗵: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁® a unique method of dance that combines traditional yoga philosophy with dance movements and meditation. Her work has been praised for its ability to create a safe space for women to explore their feminine power and express themselves. She is also an educator and facilitator, offering mentorships and workshops on topics such as the power of storytelling, the importance of self-care, and the power of group dynamics. She has been an invited guest teacher at some of the world's most prestigious cultural institutions.
She is an awarded prose and poetry performer, regionally and nationally. She simultaneously pursued her university studies in Theatre Arts and Comparative Religions, under a Dean’s scholarship, while also studying with the Studio Arts Central International Academy of Art in Florence, Italy. She has been invited to perform at numerous festivals and events around the world and is currently working on several collections of her works. Her formal dance education at Joffrey Ballet School, served as a solid base for her attendance in professional programming in Advanced Studies of Street Jazz, Theatre and Broadway, Contemporary, and Jazz at Broadway Dance Center, Steps, Alvin Ailey, and New Dance Group Studios. She continued her pursuit of spiritual understanding, religious ceremonies, and sacred rituals, following the path of Yoga Science, Tantra, Kriya Yoga and spiritual wellness. She developed a deep understanding of human anatomy, physiology, and movement science, which allowed her to create choreography that combined her spirituality and her passion for dance. She also studied various healing modalities, such as Quantum Healing, philosophy, neurophysiology, and Reiki, which helped her further her spiritual and physical well-being journey. She is a 500 hour certified Yoga & Meditation teacher in the Ishta lineage and an initiated Balinese Spiritual Master Teacher under, Spiritual Guru, Made Lunas.
She's been called a "Creative Genius" and "Masterful teacher of Yoga" by the director of Yoga at Chopra Global, revered as a "forever-trending NYC teacher you need to have on your radar" on Rate Your Burn NYC, and "is in a league of her own," according to the former Head of Rock at Spotify.
