She also completed her RYT-200 through the Rishikesh Vinyasa Yoga School in Rishikesh, India.
"The ability to tune out and tune inward is so important, especially for children! Yoga classes give children a vocabulary that can help them to better express their feelings and help with self-regulation. Kids' classes are also designed to be pure fun!"
Natasha is also a lifelong linguist, and studies many languages, including Spanish, French and Levantine and Classical Arabic.
