Our Team

Nicole Ekin (Founder, Instructor)

Local wife and mom with a passion for yoga. I moved to Kitsap in 1996 from a little town called Los Angeles with a thirst for life less concrete  and harried, and a zest for adventure. I have been a yogi for almost as long as I have been a Washingtonian- and wish I had discovered it sooner let me tell you. 
My dedication to yoga as a lifestyle really took hold  when I was failing at life-  working an impossible job as Charge Nurse in the ER, mom of 3 little kids and going through some major and hard life changes. Yoga kept me grounded and healthy in ways I will forever be grateful for.  When I am not on the mat, I love to spend my time with my family, traveling locally and abroad, creating deliciousness in the kitchen, reading whatever I can devour, painting with acrylics, gardening and living sustainably, listening to live music, and trying to create a healthier and authentic life for all around me. 

I can honestly say, that while I have revived many in the Emergency Room, being a yoga instructor is where I have really helped heal people. The old adage says, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. In my experience, that is SO true!! 

My classes are hot and challenging- infused with positivity and some upbeat jams. Bring your cross fit friends, your iron-man loving neighbor, your spouse that thinks yoga is only for women. Come check us out- flexibility not required.

Danielle Arias (Studio Director, Instructor)

A recent transplant from NYC to the Kitsap Pennisula by way of Seattle, Danielle found yoga to be instrumental in her longevity as a public school teacher.  The practice gave her such a vitality for life, and ability to pause and respond rather than react in the classroom.  Not wanting to keep all of the benefits to herself, she decided to bring meditation, and then pranayama and asana to her students in school, starting first with her mentor group and then building out a yoga club, and later a class in the school.  She then fully immersed herself in yoga teaching and pursued her 200hr training at Yoga Vida NYC.  

When not at the studio, Danielle joyfully homeschools her two children, teaches outdoor nature immersion classes for kids and is blessed to walk with others in their health journey as a holistic health coach.

Danielle holds certifications: E-RYT 200, RYT 500, YACEP

Gonca Tabanli

Turkish girl in Washington from Hawaii, mommy and yoga lover!After the birth of her daughter, Gonca started seeking for something to rejuvenate her body and state of mind. Her journey in yoga started in 2014 after attending the Mom & Baby workshop. The mantra “everything is temporary” during Vinyasa Fusion class, strengthened her daily commitment to yoga. Through her daily practice, Gonca has renewed her state of mind and strengthened her physical well-being, resulting in a more confident and youthful person that is ready to inspire others to achieve the same. With the support of family and her teacher’s faith in her, Gonca completed her 200HR Yoga Teacher Training at YOGA4EWA in February of 2017 under the guidance of Tasha Kauihou. She still attends Ashtanga and Vinyasa  classes to grow and learn more. Gonca is so excited to share her yoga love with her students at THREE SIX OM. "I'd like to show my students the power of yoga so they can believe in themselves, and do anything they put their minds to.”

Sandee Watson

Sandee began practicing yoga in 2011 to manage stress and gain flexibility. As a long-distance runner at thetime, she thought of yoga as a gentle stretching exercise program. That first class was a humbling experience and she fell in love with it as a sustainable fitness practice that always provides room for personal growth and physical improvement. Yoga challenges the mind, body and spirit! Sandee’s own fitness journey has included a great variety of activities but she has found nothing like yoga, barre and pilates to build mental focus, grow confidence, and increase lean mass and muscular flexibility. Sandee completed the 200-hour yoga teacher training in a 3-week immersion course on the Big Island of Hawaii where she studied asanas and delved deep into the philosophy and history of this ancient practice.

“A favorite concept of mine, taken from the ancient Yoga Sutras, is sthira sukha, which loosely translates to effort and ease. It is my reminder to find that balance each day both on and off the mat and practicing yoga helps us build that muscle. As a teacher, I hope to meet all students where they are and offer an environment where yoga is accessible but challenging with opportunity for everyone to discover, grow and get a great physical and mental workout! When not teaching or practicing at 36OM I work as an insurance broker to architects and engineers and enjoy exploring all of the natural beauty in the PNW mountains, forests and waterways.”

Angie Capilli

Always amused by the absolute brilliance in an ever-evolving yoga practice, I am amazed that I've been practicing for over 20 years and teaching for nearly half of that. A lover of travel, I've also integrated yoga into my adventures to places both near and far; attending many retreats and workshops in addition to my 200+ hour Vinyasa Yoga Foundation Training in Los Angeles. I am intrigued by the transformations people experience on both a physical and spiritual level as they venture through this powerful and intelligent journey. In yoga, I tend to focus on belonging to a community of  living, laughing, and receptive seekers who come prepared to experience and grow. I extract as many of the benefits of yoga as I can into my professional life as a middle school educator and my personal life as a parent of two fantastic children and as a wife to a fellow yogi. Angie is a former Coast Guard and recently added Reformer Pilates to her teaching repertoire.

Angie is certified 500HR RYT

Laura Genton

PNW born and raised, I grew up on the rough side of Tacoma and have searched for escape and adventure ever since.  I’ve discovered that you don’t always have to go far to find what you’re looking for.  Always drawn to the weird and extreme, I started taking pole dancing and aerial classes in my 20’s, and yoga was recommended as a way to build flexibility in addition.  I was hooked from my first class and was a devoted Bikram practitioner for more than a decade.  After three kids, it was also how I returned home to a body I recognized and felt strong in again. 

I completed two 200hr teacher trainings concurrently for certification in both Hatha and Vinyasa style yoga in 2018 and began teaching soon after.  I’ve taught at many studios in the South Sound, in addition to less traditional spaces such as parks, taprooms and workplaces.  I strive to create classes that enable a deep connection with your body, a sense of challenge and accomplishment, deeper meaning, and plenty of levity because yoga should feel like playtime—important, but not too serious!

Donna Bosh

Raised in Kitsap, wife, mother of three, business owner and fitness enthusiast with 28+ years teaching group exercise.

A combination of fortunate circumstances, adventure, meaningful relationships and love for the outdoors, led me to experience yoga for the first time while living and recreating in Mammoth Lakes California. 24 years young at the time Yoga became a staple. As I began to feel the transformation yoga had given me, I felt inspired to share the gift of yoga with others. I earned my teaching certification through Yoga fit in 2000, specializing in Hatha and Vinyasa. I create a fun and safe, non-competitive space for students to dive beneath the surface of their daily lives to find deeper meaning and inspiration.  A long time Kitsap County local, I am honored to be a part of this beautiful new space and more importantly help to bring balance, awareness, health, and happiness into other's lives I hope students leave class feeling refreshed, strengthened, inspired and sweaty!

Danielle DeLong

Born and raised in Kitsap, wife to a fellow yogi, and mother to three. I began practicing Bikram years ago and started teaching not long after. My journey into yoga has taken a few paths, diving deep into many styles of yoga and exercise. After teaching for nearly 10 years, yoga has morphed from a hobby, to therapy, to a passion, to a lifestyle. As I share my experience with others as a yoga and fitness instructor, I can only describe yoga and mindful movement as an absolute necessity in my life today.  My classes are filled with challenging postures, powerful transitions, and long holds that will help you discover what you are truly capable of mentally and physically.Donec eu est non lacus lacinia semper.

Erin Quinn

A native upstate NY-er, Erin moved to Kitsap 8 years ago and has found home here amongst the mountains, sea, and trees. A long time trauma-informed educator, she found the practice of yoga to be an incredible way to ground and heal as she helped children do the same. Originally studying to teach kiddos, she went on to study in Bali at Blooming Lotus Yoga under the guidance of Lily Goncalves receiving a 200 HR yoga and 100 HR meditation certification. She also completed another 200 HR throughout the pandemic with Authentic Movements, which inspired many of the creative flows she incorporates into her vinyasa classes. Erin was drawn to the healing vibrations of sound through a mentor and friend, and has fallen in love with sharing the magic of sound baths with others. A school counselor now, Erin incorporates yoga, breath work, sound healing, journaling, and somatic healing into the work she does both on and off of the mat. Whether you join her for Yin, Hot Vinyasa, or a workshop expect to leave feeling recharged, empowered, and reminded of your own ability to grow and heal. She’s beyond grateful to work in a community where she can learn and grow alongside her very inspiring co-workers.
