About

I've been a yoga teacher, mentor, and trainer for over 15 years. My teaching is influenced by Anusara yoga, Meridian Yoga Therapy, Restorative Yoga, The Thinking Body-The Feeling Mind, and the Siddha Yoga lineage. I lived 6 years in an ashram as part of the core staff and am dedicated to making movement and breathwork accessible and therapeutic to everyone I work with.

My dedication to holistic therapeutic movement and trauma-informed recovery provides a caring and informed framework for practice. Weaving together the technical, therapeutic, and mystical aspects of yoga I create spaces that address the physical and more subtle aspects of healing in ways that are insightful, forward-thinking, and kind.

I support folks incorporating therapeutic yoga into the trauma recovery work they are already doing for the purpose of deeper integration and healing.

I have a gift for helping folks recovering from injury, chronic pain, cptsd, anxiety, and depression.

My teaching incoroporates breath-work, meditation, yoga postures, safe alignment, acupressure, and is a trauma-informed approach.

    Natasha is by far the best yoga teacher Ive ever found. In her classes, Ive learned so much more than just yoga poses and breathwork. Shes taught me about myself in ways I didnt even realize I needed. She is an old soul who truly SEES me each time I come to class, and meets me wherever I am. She is a gift and Im incredibly grateful that my path has crossed hers in this life.

    Natashas vast knowledge and kind heart have extremely impressed me. I have been fortunate enough to have weekly sessions with her over the past year. Yoga with Natasha is transformative for my body and my spirit. It has helped me sleep better, kept my moods more centered, and motivated me to be more active.
    Natasha tailors each class to meet the needs of students. I shared a session once with my mom, who explained certain muscle issues she has had for decades. After our yoga practice, my mom mentioned to me that she felt more relief from following Natashas guidance than she ever had from physical therapy.
    Natasha is truly a special and talented instructor. I recommend her to everyone.

    >> Mentorships and Training others to Teach Yoga:

    I mentor students making their transition from student to teacher of yoga. Mentorship programs are individualized to the qualities of each person and include observation skills, articulation and cueing skills, theming, class planning and design, pacing and effecting space holding, and more.

    As a former faculty member at The Movement Center in Portland OR I co-designed and facilitated 4 rounds of yoga teacher training.

    One of my yoga teachers took me under her wing and suggested that I begin learning how to share yoga with others. In time I became her asistant and eventually went on to teach and further my studies from there.

    I've taught people of all ages, abilities, and walks of life.

    I've worked with aging populations who are learning to live with the natural biproducts of aging such as limited mobility, osteoporosis, arthritis, and general aches and pains.

    Young and springy 20-somethings new to yoga, and seasoned practitioners alike.

    I've also taught and helped people in wheelchairs and with conditions such a parkinsons and MS.

    It's a wide range.

    I would advise them to get on the phone with the teacher first if you can, and get a feeling for them. I would say, look for a teacher who has at minimum 5 years teaching experience, especially if you are working with injuries or health concerns.
