Yoga Beyond the Mat
A practice that meets you where you are. Explore movement, breath, and mindfulness in a welcoming space designed to help you understand your body and care for yourself through every season of life.
A Practice That Evolves With You
At The Luma Center, yoga is about more than following a sequence. It is an opportunity to build strength, find space, connect with your breath, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself.
Our approach brings together thoughtful movement, mindfulness, and body awareness to support you through changing needs, changing seasons, and everyday life.
The practice is not the sequence. The practice is learning to listen, explore, and respond.
Prenatal &
Postnatal Yoga
A little space for you, in a season of change.

Come as you are. Leave a little more room to breathe.
Care Rooted in Connection
The Luma Center was created from a deep belief that people deserve thoughtful, individualized care—and a place where they feel seen, heard, and supported.
Founder and director Nika brings more than 15 years of clinical experience and specialized training in integrative women's health and reproductive wellness. Her work spans menstrual health, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum support, and the transitions of perimenopause and menopause.
Nika's approach is grounded in respect for the wisdom of the body, the healing potential of plants, and the importance of deep listening. Through The Luma Center, she is passionate about creating a space where meaningful care, shared wisdom, and community come together.
The yoga and mindfulness offerings reflect this broader philosophy: practices that invite curiosity, build awareness, and support you through the many seasons of life.
Meet Your Teacher
Nicole “Nika” Fugo Zibelman
CERTIFIED YOGA TEACHER · E-RYT-200 · RYT-500 · RPYT
Fluent in English & Spanish
Nika began practicing yoga at 16, looking for ways to manage stress and feel more grounded. Since beginning her teaching journey in 2006, she has accumulated more than 2,000 teaching hours and studied with teachers around the world. She has led classes, teacher trainings, and retreats throughout the U.S. and internationally.
Her classes blend yoga, breathwork, mindfulness, and creative movement with nearly 20 years of experience in East Asian Medicine and her practice of Qigong. With specialized training in prenatal and postnatal yoga, pelvic floor health, and restorative practices, Nika brings an anatomy-informed, whole-body approach to helping people move with greater awareness, strength, and ease.
Her classes are thoughtful, welcoming, and never about getting the pose “right.” Expect creative ways to explore movement, opportunities to slow down and tune into your body, moments of stillness, and maybe a few squats you’ll love—or love to hate.
Beyond the mat, Nika is a licensed acupuncturist specializing in fertility and women’s wellness, a mama of two, a gardener, and an artist at heart. She believes movement can be both a place to learn something new and a place to find a little more peace.

More Than a Yoga Class
A space to move, connect, and feel supported through every season of life. Here's what our community has to say.
The movement was perfect for all stages of pregnancy. She checks in with each person and tailors class to what your symptoms and struggles are that week.
The space she holds feels so safe. It felt very empowering and healing to be in the presence of other women in the same phase of life.
I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Nicole for yoga instruction. Nicole brings incredible knowledge, wisdom, and compassion to all her healing work.
I have seen Nika for both acupuncture and prenatal/postnatal yoga between my two pregnancies. Grateful a business and support system like this exists in Petaluma for moms!
