In NaNiO2, Ni3+ ions form a quasi two dimensional triangular lattice of S =1=2 spins. The magnetic order observed below 20K has been described as an Atype antiferromagnet with ferro- magnetic layers weakly coupledantiferromagnetically. We studied the magnetic excitations with the electronspin resonance for frequencies 1-20 cm-1, in magnetic fields up to 14 T. Thebulk of the results are interpreted in terms of a phenomenological modelinvolving bi-axial anisotropy for the spins: a strong easy-plane term, and aweaker anisotropy within the plane. The direction of the easy plane isconstrained by the collective Jahn-Teller distortion occurring in this materialat 480 K
