About this Retreat
Natalie (WFR, RYT-500, MEnvSt) is a yogini, artist, and botanist who guides people through integrated yoga and nature-based experiences to find a deeper level of connection and belonging, inner peace, and self-love. For years she worked seasonally in the backcountry and across a wide scope of landscapes throughout the west and internationally as a botanist and biologist, using her off-season to deep-dive into living yoga, exploring the world, working the land, and giving back. After deeply experiencing the raw and healing power of nature during extended periods of repeated immersion in wilderness, and the transformative power of yoga in body, mind, and spirit, she is following her dharma path to create opportunities for others to heal and grow. She shares her personal practice in her teaching, bringing together movement, philosophy, breathwork, mantra, tratak, and guided meditation.
Sierra (E-RYT 200, CMT) is an experienced yoga teacher, body-worker and back-county enthusiast who seeks out inspiring natural locations around the world. After becoming certified as a Yoga Therapist in 2016, she has developed a private Yoga Therapy practice, Sierra Laurel Yoga, where she customizes her teachings to integrate the healing essence of yoga with the needs and abilities of her students in a practical way. Her styles range from deeply restorative, meditative practices to invigorating and mindful flowing sequences. Spiritual themes, building to a peak pose and in-depth explorations of anatomy are hallmarks of her teaching. Sierra loves leading groups into deeper experiences using partner yoga, self massage, and shared Thai massage to awaken our innate ability to love ourselves and each other more fully and become better caretakers of our world
