About Nick Ventra

Nick cultivated his own yoga and meditation practice in 2008 while studying acting and graduating from CSUF in 2012. Every day in the acting program, he learned in depth embodiment techniques and trained with world renowned teachers such as Fay Simpson, Kennedy Brown, Katherine Fitzmaurice, and many more!

He learned how to activate his energy centers (chakras) with the Lucid Body Technique, various voice techniques including Fitzmaurice Voice work, and physical embodiment practices to bring classical characters from Shakespeare, Chekhov, and Moliere to life on the stage. He truly believed acting would be his career until he was cut from the program in his junior year. It was heart breaking…

He stopped doing yoga and meditating and instead started smoking cigarettes, and partying for the remainder of his college years. This downward spiral of feeling addicted to smoking, partying, and sex taught him the power of learning to live a life of discipline and spirituality.  

In 2016, Nick rediscovered his

roots in yoga and meditation by becoming a certified Hatha yoga instructor at the Huntington Beach Wellness Center. Once he recognized his own healing transformation, Nick expanded his style of teaching by getting certified in Pranic Healing by Master Choa Kok Sui. In addition, he trained in Tantra, Qi Gong, Iyengar Yoga, Yin Yoga, and Restorative Yoga; which allowed him to become a E-RYT 400. (Expert Registered Yoga Teacher 400 hours of training) He is also certified as a group fitness instructor with expert knowledge in strength training and nutritional programming. 

Nick has partnered and worked with companies like Nike, Equinox, Lululemon, Fabletics, MLB, Topo Chico, Vuori, Bay Clubs, and much more! Nick continues to teach yoga and meditation for hundreds of people by co facilitating health and wellness festivals and leading private retreats around the world. 

His true purpose is to promote and inspire growth, healing, and transformation for each individual. Nick’s grounded nature, gentle guidance and spiritually-focused approach provides a welcoming and loving atmosphere for all ages and levels of students.
