Big Changes for Yoga with Natalie

Just returned from my third weekend in Long Island looking for a place to live with my partner, Peter. He accepted a job at Stony Brook on the North Shore.  We have chosen a very cute single family home to reside in starting July 1st.  It feels good to get this off of our chests and know that we can finally focus on building our new lives.
I never ever thought I'd leave Cambridge and if I did, I always thought it would be to Western Mass or upstate New York; somewhere really liberal with a lot of hippy joints.  Well, our new place is only 10 minutes drive to the beach, so that can't be bad!  Peter has been so supportive with my yoga business he is urging me to turn the living room into a yoga studio which I plan to do. I am so grateful to have a partner who never doubts me nor lets me doubt myself or my abilities.  I am excited and scared to start a whole new business out of my home and with strangers!  But I guess that's how it started almost 5 years ago in the quirky ole' Lily Pad in Inman Square.
I am looking forward to the absence of city noise, the sounds of nature, and a quiet practice in my home.  I'm looking forward to new beginnings with the love of my life.  It may be that I've had more time to process this so I am now in the acceptance phase but I have been on an emotional rollercoaster these past few weeks.  Yoga is the one thing that has kept me steady and focused on the positives.
Classes at the Lily Pad will continue with Kira Pullig taking over in July.  I will be returning to the area for a Retreat in late September, Thanksgiving Yoga in November, and a workshop in February. I then plan to do a Spring Retreat in either the Catskills Or Vermont.
This whole process has made me so grateful to all of my students, the fact that this was possible to begin with, and to the changing nature of life itself.
Peace!!!
Natalie
CLASSES WITH NATALIE CONTINUE UNTIL END OF JUNE.
