About Us
Our Story
Founded in 2024 DownDogDiggity was born out of a shared passion for hot vinyasa flow yoga and a desire to share its transformative power with others. Owners Jeni Jeffrey and Torrell Nickerson formed an instant bond in 2023 when he signed up for her class at Lava Yoga, 4005 SW 29th Street in Topeka, Kansas where both continue to teach several classes per week. Sign up on Lava's website www.lavayoga.com for one of their classes or any of the unique classes offered weekly.

Our vision at DownDogDiggity is to create a space where people can experience the joy, peace, and transformation that comes with a dedicated yoga practice. We are committed to providing high-quality instruction, fostering a supportive community, and promoting holistic wellness.
Our dream for DownDogDiggity is to evolve into a hub for yoga, wellness and community. We intend to expand our Flow at Edgewood Park Summer Yoga offerings to include workshops, events, private and group classes.
Jeni Jeffrey Bio
I'm a 53 year old former competitve gymnast, so I have a few spots on my body with arthritis. I started practicing Bikram Yoga when I was 28 years old, which eventually evolved into a private practice at home because I could not afford to take classes during the 17 years I lived in Los Angeles. Shortly after moving back to my beloved hometown, Topeka, Kansas in 2022, I found Lava Yoga and fell in love with Hot Vinyasa Flow Yoga. I started teaching at Lava Yoga in September 2023, and on track to complete my 200 hour teacher training by the end of the year.
I feel taller with barely any arthritic pain every single time I walk out of the studio having enjoyed my practice in the cleansing heat while sharing safe space with other like minded peeps. United we stand sweating it out. It’s my honor and truly a pleasure to guide yoga classes. I hope you will come shine your light with us soon at Lava or schedule a private or group class with me through Down Dog Diggity. Namaste
Torrell Nickerson Bio
I’ve always been an athletic person as I play basketball throughout the years. I was never the one to really work on stretching or really work on my mobility and flexibility. As the years went on of strength training, I was dealing with a lot of chronic pain, sore muscles, developing stiff hips and hamstrings and I knew I had to make a change.
I actually thought about doing yoga but never really went through with it until one day I was in the sauna at the gym and I saw something on social media about hot yoga and the benefits of it. So I googled to see if Topeka has a hot yoga studio and sure enough I found out about lava yoga. I’ve been obsessed with it and fell in love with it ever since. My flexibility and mobility has improved so much and the start of this journey has been amazing. I feel at peace and my body feels very good afterwards. I encourage you to come to lava yoga for yourself and see the amazing benefits it can have for you. It really has saved me and my body. Hope to see you on the mat soon! 200 Hour YTT
