Nicole is the author of 24 Ways to Move More, Yoga for Hikers and Yoga for Climbers with Mountaineers Books, and has taught yoga for more than a decade, including for three years at the White House Easter Egg Roll. In addition to writing, Nicole founded a work/life balance coaching business, supporting high-achieving women of color to find their clear calling. A former journalist, Nicole has lived and worked in Anchorage, Alaska, Washington D.C. and Walla Walla, Washington, covering topics ranging from the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race to a U.S. Senate race.

Raised in Chicago, Nicole was first introduced to the mountains during a dinosaur dig in Moab, Utah in high school. Her love of hiking and mountains took off as a student at Dartmouth College, in Hanover, N.H., where she majored in comparative literature. After a stint teaching English to college students in Wuhan, China, Nicole moved to the West Coast and has called it home ever since. She now lives in Seattle, where you can find her out in the mountains with her pup Coco, playing violin, and loving on her houseplants. Reach out at 24waystomovemore.com or nicoletsong.com.
