History
Natasha found a way to use her real estate and business background to create a business that she loves.....Beach Cities Yoga. Her focus when opening the studio was creating a space and a community that is fun, supportive, nurturing for people to work on both their physical, mental and emotional health. Teaching prenatal yoga is her favorite because she gets to apply all of the knowledge and experience that she took from being a midwife into helping pregnant mommies work on their own health, mental and emotional well being throughout their pregnancies. Each prenatal class starts with a few minutes for the moms to check in with each other, talk about what changes they're going through, offer support to the moms that need it, and create a safe place for the expectant moms to be.
