Meet the Team
Goku Cloud Owner RYT-200
I'm Goku, the dedicated owner of New Earth Wellness. With 15 years of yoga experience, I hold a 200HR Hatha and Vinyasa lineage certification, starting with Bikram yoga teacher training in 2009. My journey has been shaped by luminaries such as Shifu Shi Heng Chao, Shifu Shi Yang Ming, Master Patty Lorenz (Taekwondo), Sensei Ron Fox (Kendo), Hoke Nunan (Tang Soo Do), and many more.
​
Inspired by martial arts, including Shaolin Kung Fu and Taiji, I spent three transformative years at the Shaolin Temple in China, delving into Buddhism, Shaolin forms, QiGong, Taiji, and more. My diverse training includes a 500-hour Bikram Yoga teacher training and a recent 200-hour Vinyasa/Hatha certification from Black Swan Yoga Denver in December 2022.
​
My yoga practice has been further enriched by the guidance and inspiration of Vinita Mundluru, Dr. Seher Vatansever, Lauren Claire, Willow Rain, Katerina Erickson, James Sander, and many more.
​
As the founder of New Earth Wellness, I envision growing alongside other businesses, building a team that emphasizes preventative care, wellness, and a blend of healing modalities like yoga, martial arts, and qigong. In my unique "qigong yoga fusion" classes, I bridge traditional Ashtanga Yoga and Shaolin Qigong, creating an alchemical experience that focuses on breath-to-movement and energetic body training.
​
Catering to all levels, my classes integrate eastern discipline, promoting awareness, growth, and the unity of body, mind, and spirit. Offering private one-on-one and group yoga classes at Jiaren Yoga Studio in Sunnyvale California, 24Hour Fitness in Redwood City California, Hillsdale South San Jose, and various elementary schools for kids, my classes range from Qigong Yoga Fusion and deep Chakra Yoga workshops to sovereign, engaging Hatha and Vinyasa yoga classes, and yin-style sessions. Alchemize and transform into a more powerful, healthier, conscious, and aligned you.
Nicole Lau, RYT-200
As a RYT-200 Certified Yoga Instructor and a passionate advocate of inner work, she empowers individuals to embark on life-changing journeys toward self-awareness and emotional liberation.
Like many others, Nicole once lived a "normal" life, working 9-5 in the tech industry, day in and day out for years, always looking forward to vacations and weekends as an escape. However, a profound spiritual awakening led her to realize that she wasn't truly happy and that there were other possibilities and paths she had yet to explore. This realization sparked a journey of self-discovery, helping her understand who she truly was and what she needed to heal to find liberation.
Through her own experiences navigating the dark nights of the soul and grounding herself in yoga, Nicole discovered her dharma: empowering others to live their fullest potential. She firmly believes in and embodies unconditional love, recognizing that we are all one and equal at the soul level. With her compassionate guidance, Nicole has become a guiding light for those seeking to break free from limiting beliefs and create purposeful, fulfilling lives.
Beyond her work as a yoga instructor, Nicole is also a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator. She is the author of "From Power Struggles To Peace," where she shares her wisdom on empowering parents to heal themselves and raise resilient, self-aware, and self-actualized children.
As a retreat host, Nicole creates a safe and nurturing space for participants to delve deep within themselves, confront their challenges, and emerge with a renewed sense of purpose and inner peace. Her retreats combine multiple modalities- including light work, shadow work, dharma exploration, art of building deep connections- to guide attendees on a transformative journey of personal growth and self-discovery.
