About Bee Heart Yoga
Are you ready to embrace yoga as a practice that’s uniquely yours? At Bee Heart Yoga, we believe yoga is more than what happens on the mat—it’s about transforming your entire way of Bee-ing.
Bee Heart Yoga invites you to explore holistic living through yoga, hoop dance, self-discovery practices, holistic coaching, and our video BeeLog. Whether you’re moving through poses, expressing yourself through dance, or uncovering old patterns to create new possibilities, Bee Heart Yoga offers a nurturing space for growth, connection, and transformation.
One of the tools we use to guide this journey is the tOLD, kNEW, and kNOW exercise. This powerful framework helps you uncover the beliefs you’ve been tOLD, reconnect with the truths you’ve always intuitively kNEW, and embrace the wisdom you kNOW in the present moment. It’s a journey that goes far beyond traditional yoga practices—a journey Bee-Yond the Mat.
At Bee Heart Yoga, we encourage you to trust your intuition, become your own source of inspiration, and explore limitless possibilities. By embracing this journey, you can create a more joyful, authentic life and uncover the sweetness life has to offer— fully living in the kNOW. 🐝
About Nikki
-
The story of Bee Heart Yoga begins in Bowling Green, Ohio, in the early 1980s with the incarnation of Nicole—later known as Nikki Victory. As a sensitive and curious child, Nikki often felt torn between the tOLD stories she was told and the truths she intuitively kNEW. Looking back kNOW, she sees how this inner conflict shaped her early life and sparked her journey of self-discovery.
At 19, she met John McMullin, founder of Journeys of Wisdom, who became a coach and guided her through thought-provoking questions that challenged the tOLD beliefs she had inherited. Over 22 years (and counting), he invited her to explore the kNEW and uncover the wisdom of the kNOW through life’s challenges.
Her adventurous spirit led her to Encinitas, California, where she discovered yoga, picked up a hoop, and embraced a love for travel. Freshly returned from six months of backpacking through India, Thailand, and Bali, Nikki was settling back into life when she met Giorgos. On an unlikely journey of his own, he had traveled from Cyprus, exploring the USA, only to cross paths with Nikki in what felt like a moment of destiny. Their connection blossomed into a 14-year partnership filled with shared adventures and profound growth. After six transformative years in California, Nikki and Giorgos moved to Cyprus to begin a new chapter.
However, her vision of a perfect island life took a detour (as expectations often do). Health challenges, including chronic pain and Lyme disease, became the catalyst for a profound awakening to the connection between mind, body, and spirit.
Through holistic therapies and a deep inner journey, she transformed suffering into healing, fear into wisdom, and shame into purpose—like a bee turning nectar into honey, finding the sweetness of bee-ing in life’s challenges! 🐝

Nikki Victory is a playful, multifaceted soul who embodies resilience, self-discovery, and the art of living holistically. Born and raised in Ohio, shaped by the laid-back vibes of coastal California, and now rooted on the sunny shores of Cyprus, Nikki has transformed life’s challenges into opportunities for growth and connection.
Her life’s philosophy centers on simplicity, authenticity, and aligning with life’s natural rhythms. With a creative spirit, she expresses herself through yoga, hoop dance, drawing, and sea swimming. Her love for healthy cooking, organic gardening, spearfishing, and the art of minimalism reflects her deep connection to nature and holistic living.
Fluent in adapting to life’s adventures and currently learning Greek, Nikki is a testament to the power of self-transformation. Through Bee Heart Yoga and her BeeLog, she shares her journey of releasing limiting beliefs, embracing intuitive wisdom, and finding joy in the present moment.
The name Nikki Victory was chosen as a personal mantra, with 'Nikki' meaning 'Victory' in Greek. For Nikki, it symbolizes a triumph of the self, a journey of inner growth, and an invitation for others to celebrate their unique victories.
Guided by curiosity, humor, and a passion for discovery, Nikki encourages everyone to explore their authentic path. She invites others to step away from rigid expectations, trust their intuition, and uncover the sweetness of life! 🐝
