Nathie Paquette
Nathalie (Nathie) has been practicing yoga and mindfulness for over 14 years. She really wanted to expand her awareness and savour the health benefits of yoga, meditation and sound healing. As a classically trained vocalist, her voice is her instrument for healing and wellbeing. Yoga practice and teaching has taught her a way to connect more deeply with herself and others and allowed her the space to grow during challenging times in her life. She discovered the beauty and fun in the simple things, being present in the here and now. Her passion grew into teaching. “Yoga is a lifelong journey of awakening and remembering, a fine balance between being and letting be, continuously allowing the space for transformation and expansiveness, it really is the Art of Awareness” Nathie. She is a registered advanced yoga instructor (RYT 500) with the Yoga Alliance and continues her education through CE workshops and training. Her YTT 200hr was in Maui Hawaii with Maui Yoga Shala (under Nadia Toraman (Owner & Founder), Jennifer Bonadio and Shakta, where she experienced the deeper connection of living with Aloha, expanding our awareness and generating abundance and collective healing. Her YTT 300hr was with My Vinyasa Practice (under Michelle Young (Owner & Founder), where she learned the many benefits of online community and other modalities that involve overall wellbeing and healing. Nathie recognizes that yoga is part of practicing compassionate self forgiveness, loving kindness, cultivating inner peace, and extending this out to others. She developed her own Youtube channel (Aloha Nathie Yoga) during covid to assist the public with free home yoga & wellness practices during times of stress and isolation. Nathie continues to pursue interests in yoga therapy, sound healing methodologies and yoga Nidra, as a way to deepen connection, wellbeing and balance. She holds space for every Soul in her classes, and fosters the Spirit of Aloha in all. ----------------- Mahalo, Thank You, Merci, Gracias Nathalie Paquette

Description

Restorative yoga is a slow and grounding practice and is also a quiet practice with plenty of space for silence and meditation. Vocal sound healing may be integrated in any practice through Nathie's singing, using vibrations to relax the physical and energetic bodies.
This class is designed to gradually open the body while prompting the Parasympathetic Nervous System to come online and initiate a healing response, and it can also calm the mind, release muscle tension and reduce stress and anxiety. In addition to healing, restorative yoga helps with injury prevention.
Restorative yoga practice complements exercise routines as well. In this class, we transition in and out of three to five poses total. Restorative yoga provides us with extra support using the wall, chairs, bolsters, blankets, blocks, and straps.
Guided relaxation (Yoga Nidra) is integrated in this class, holding everyone in a safe space of deep seeded nourishment, peacefulness and wellbeing.
This class is inspired by Nischala Joy Devi, Richard Miller (iRest), Judith Hanson Lasater ❤️.
