Honu Yoga was founded by Nicole Sherman in 2010, after she received her teaching certification on the big island of Hawaii. Not only did she practice yoga on the lava rocks of Kona, she also swam with the dolphins and majestic sea turtles (honu). That's how she found her passion for creating beautiful, comfortable, custom yoga T-shirts that honor and benefit the endangered turtles.

Nicole began by selling T-shirts out of the trunk of her car and literally off her own back, as yoga enthusiasts resonated with her messages. Now Honu Yoga T-shirts can be found in yoga studios throughout southern California – and if her myriad of supporters have their way – ultimately around the world!

Nicole caught the "yoga bug" after being diagnosed with scoliosis at an early age. Her quest to understand anatomy and alignment principles, and affinity for holistic modalities, led her to deep physical, emotional and spiritual gratification from practicing yoga. Personally inspired by its transformative benefits, she now teaches yoga to others in private and studio groups.

The artistic flair behind Nicole's T-shirt designs comes from her diverse background in art and theater. She has a degree in Fine Arts and Theater Set Design from Florida Atlantic University and is the creator of Nicole Erin Designs, a customized mural and design company.

In keeping with her philosophy of life, a portion of the proceeds from each T-shirt sale go to www.kurmalliance.com, a charity to help save endangered sea turtles. Buy a shirt, save a turtle!
