This monthly offering incorporates restorative yoga and gentle somatic practices into a quiet and comforting class. Postures are done seated or lying down, and held for longer periods of time. Restorative Yoga releases physical tension in the body, and the meditative pace allows for more time, and space to practice turning inward. It is a welcoming practice that invites us to explore quiet compassion for our body, mind and spirit. Each month we will explore different themes inspired by daily life and the seasons. This class is trauma-informed and suitable for all levels of experience.

Natalie specializes in trauma-informed and restorative-based practices. In bodywork sessions she collaborates with clients and their nervous systems to create a more relaxed and embodied state of being.

Since the work done in session is only one aspect of wellness and recovery, Natalie often recommends home practices at the end of sessions.

She is currently certified by NCBTMB to teach trauma informed bodywork principles & practices to other yoga teachers and LMTs.
