Nisi began practicing yoga in 2000 after studying African Dance for 11 years, competing in gymnastics tournaments, and leading her junior high school all-girls basketball team as co-captain, competing citywide and maintaining an 8-year winning streak throughout.

After exploring a myriad of yoga styles, Nisi certified in somatic mindfulness Hatha as a basis for her own explorative laboratory on the mat.

Nisi studied fine art at the Cooper Union in New York City, and has a BFA. She studied experimental cinema with Ken Jacobs and Vincent Grenier at SUNY Binghamton, then worked as a video editor and sound engineer, and teacher. She is part of Side Brain’s Ableton Live Producers community and has been focused on producing music in Ableton Live and playing keys, bass, lyrics, and visual art.
