About Nina Marie Collins

Spectrum Wellness started with your health in mind.

After yoga provided an anchor on her own healing journey, Nina Marie Collins completed her first yoga teacher training in 2010. She began teaching in her community, with a focus on students with physical and mental health challenges. In 2017, Nina Marie began teaching to students at a residential mental health center in Asheville, North Carolina. Inspired by their dedication and continual progress, she founded Spectrum Wellness to honor the full spectrum of human experiences. Nina Marie aims to teach to individuals who feel out of place in typical yoga classes. Spectrum Wellness serves those just beginning their journey with yoga and wholistic health, particularly those who have physical or emotional limitations.

Nina Marie has been a yoga teacher since 2010, and teaches Subtle-inspired Yoga after completing both 200 and 500-hour Subtle Yoga Teacher Trainings. She is also a Certified Mental Health Peer Support Specialist, and holds a BS in Public Health Education and a Masters Degree in Public Administration. In 2025, Nina Marie was certified in Genius Frequency Methodologies for energy work.
