* IF YOU ARE NEW TO YOGA START with a Slow Flow class. You will get a feel for the poses and breathing techniques gradually building strength to practice Tone & Flow or Sculpt. Feel free to explore!

These classes are intended to add overall calm to your life while giving up options to amp things up when needed. I’ve created a non competitive environment to help you discover more about yourself beyond the poses. Get the full experience in person at The Pavilion where we’ll engage all the senses (including the felt sense (intuition) and human touch). You’ll also learn a variety of breathing techniques to help regulate your nervous system.

Tone & Flow: (Intermediate level) - Faster pace class that fosters endurance, strength, increased confidence, and challenges the mind/body connection. One posture flows into the next, cued by the breath, and leaves less time for enhancements and adjustments. It is best to have a decent understanding of the basic yoga syllabus (warrior poses, triangle, half-moon rising, sun salutations, etc.) to really enjoy this class. All levels welcome, practice mindfully.

Slow Flow/Yin Fusion: (All levels) This class starts with a slow-paced flow consisting of standing poses and light balancing. Yin targets the deep connective tissues of the hips, pelvis and lower spine. Yin postures are done with the muscles relaxed (mostly close to the ground) and held for 2-5 minutes.

Restorative: (All levels) This exclusive class will provide a space where you will learn how to completely relax. It can be challenging to find positions of comfort and ease that facilitate relaxation. Restorative Yoga makes use of various props, blankets and bolsters to fully support the body for optimal stress relief and health. Poses are held for longer periods (5-15 minutes). Class sizes are limited to 6 people to give each student a serene and safe space to release built up tension. Each student receives hands-on attention for every pose including eye pillows and hand pillows - a true luxuries treat for the nervous system. Best in the Fall & Winter months for complete darkness, however you may Book a private Restorative class Spring & Summer. A minimum of 4 people please.

Sculpt: (All levels) Learn how to feel your way through difficult times by increasing the intensity and challenging your persistence. Occasional use of 3 lbs weights (optional). Beginners welcome. Sculpt is a fun sunset summer vibes class on the outdoor platform. In studio when it rains.

About Natalia…

I love helping people feel better. Any time I learn anything mind blowing or that has benefited me in some way, I want to share it! I wrote a parenting book, coached/presented and spoke about it, I’m a constant creator and I’ve raised two young adults. I coached their soccer teams because building self esteem in children was very important to me. I used to turn to yoga when I felt stressed. Today yoga is a daily discipline for my mental health that I get to teach! It’s a pleasure to guide women to discover more about themselves by doing less.

About The Pavilion…

Only 15 minutes south of 417 E

At first I pictured a covered Pavilion in the middle of a forest… but it has evolved into something more. Nothing beats doing yoga on a solid platform (to avoid ankle injuries) overlooking the sunset surrounded by the sounds of nature and wildlife. Walking trails are best enjoyed in the Spring, Fall & Winter months.

Outdoor summer classes with spectacular sunset views. If it rains or the temperature is hotter than 26 Degrees, classes move to the indoor studio. Come to disengage from everything and give yourself the gift of yoga in nature.

I used to see yoga as a workout. Now I see it as a “work in”.
