Meet Your Guide
Niecia Bullock, ERYT-500, YACEP
Lead Facilitator
Niecia is the owner of Rooted Yoga. She began practicing yoga in 2017 and quickly felt its impact on her mental health and body. That experience sparked a passion to share yoga tools and sustainable self-care with others.
She is a dedicated ERYT-500 yoga instructor whose goal is to build diverse communities and provide a supportive setting where people can connect with themselves and others. She values helping students discover the yoga and self-care habits that serve them, rather than forcing practices that don't. This perspective is at the heart of her teaching style, which is approachable and grounded.

If you know in advance you'll need to miss a session, contact your lead instructor as early as possible so we can help you stay on track.
Missing 3-4 sessions requires one-on-one mentorship to stay on pace for certification ($25/hour); contact your lead instructor to arrange it.
Missing more than 4 sessions (exceeding 80% attendance) results in dismissal from the program with no refund.

Rooted Yoga reserves the right to dismiss a trainee at any point if attendance, punctuality, or preparedness creates a safety risk to themselves or others (for example, during partner or hands-on work). No refund will be issued in these cases.
