Jamie Nitz

Instructor

Jamie Nitz completed her 200-hour teacher training through the UNCW Yoga Minor Studies program in 2024. She began teaching shortly afterward at the UNCW Student Recreation Center, primarily leading Slow Flow and Restorative classes. This experience opened the door to a variety of unique teaching opportunities, including goat yoga, yoga on the pool deck, and puppy yoga—experiences she is incredibly grateful for.

Jamie’s love for yoga began at a young age, inspired by her mother, who brought her along to YMCA yoga classes. Growing up as a dancer, she quickly noticed the similarities between dance and yoga—the flowing movements, intentional breath, and deep stretching. This connection became a meaningful way for her to carry her passion into college and beyond.

Jamie’s classes focus on cultivating a sense of peace through mindful alignment, intentional sequencing, and curated music playlists that support the mood and movement of each class.
