Meet the Teachers, Trainers & Advisors

Picture
Nikki Johnston Beaudoin,
Owner & Trainer, Sea to Sky Paddle Fit


Nikki is a certified Personal Trainer, Power Flow Yoga Instructor, as well as a certified Paddle Canada and World Paddle Association Stand Up Paddle (SUP) Instructor based in North Vancouver, BC.

 Guided by mentors like Gillian Gibree from Paddle Into Fitness and Kristy Wright Schell from Stand Up Paddle Vancouver, she has been teaching Stand Up Paddling for five years, and  leads Paddle Into Fitness Teacher Trainings throughout North America.

As a Fitness Professional, her primary mission is to help people achieve their fitness goals and create balance in their lives. She loves to work with people so they can feel their best; balancing fitness, wellness, nutrition, play and rest to achieve optimal health and wellness. 


Nikki is a lover of outdoor activities, including skiing, mountain biking, hiking, surfing and Stand Up Paddle boarding. She loves to sweat and believes in the power of fitness not only for physical health, but for mental and emotional health.  She is happiest in the woods or on the water, and believes in the holistic benefits of an active lifestyle.

She is passionate about sharing knowledge on wellness, sleep, meditation, nutrition, yoga and fitness. She is an eternal student with an insatiable appetite for knowledge in personal health and wellness, and is committed to life-long learning. She has taken a number of seminars and courses including Pre and Post Natal Fitness, Fit Chicks Fitness & Nutrition Expert Program, Precision Nutrition Level 1, Dean Somerset's Ruthless Mobility and regularly attends fitness and yoga conferences and workshops every year.  

With a professional background in public relations, she found yoga in grad school in 2008. It helped her through the stress and uncertainty of studies, and brought her back to the agility and flexibility she learned as a young kid in competitive gymnastics. She
 strongly believes that yoga should be a quintessential part of training for, and recovering from, our favourite sports and outdoor pursuits - and for life in general. Yoga continues to guide and humble her everyday on and off the mat.

Nikki has contributed personal health, SUP and fitness articles to lowerlonsdale.ca, Rapid Media Magazine, Paddle Canada, Paiwen Paddleboards, SUP Journal and Strong Fitness magazine. 

She also works as a Master Trainer with Paddle into Fitness, based in San Diego, California, leading and assisting with SUP Teacher Trainings throughout Canada and the USA. 

Passionate about fitness, wellness, nutrition and mostly, being active outside, it is her dream to offer opportunities to others to  embrace fitness, indoors and out, and lead an active, wholesome lifestyle. 

She is proud to be on the Paiwen Girl Paddleboard Team and to be a Brand Ambassador for Malarae and Paddle Into Fitness.
