YOGA, RESISTANCE STRENGTH TRAINING, CHRONIC TENSION AND STRESS RELIEF ARE THE 4 PILLARS OF THE GLOW WELLNESS PROGRAM.

In a world that's moving faster and faster, our minds, hormones, nervous systems, and joints are taking a toll. It's time to hit the brakes, infuse holistic care into our fitness routines, and let our bodies refuel and thrive.
Natasha, the founder of Glow, draws from yogic principles of non-harming and self-awareness. Having battled neck arthritis pain in her 20s, she has developed a holistic approach blending Eastern and Western science to building strength while prioritizing joint health, relieving tension, pain, and inflammation, fostering mental and hormonal balance, and cultivating a peaceful presence for a fulfilling life.
There is a smarter way to stay fit: stressing less while accomplishing more. If you are a beginner, please start with our Daily 25-Minute Program A, Tension Relief Course, Yin Yoga, Pranayama & Meditation, 360°Core, and progress to Glow Flow and Arm Balances. SCHEDULE A CALL with Natasha to figure out your best daily routine.

Are you still struggling to fit in daily workouts? Making exercise stick in your schedule is like trying to keep a cat in a bath. You're not at fault—perhaps you've yet to discover what truly resonates with your body, and let's be honest, with your full schedule. I get it. My 25-minute daily program is built to solve these problems! For the last 3 years, I have kept up with my morning workouts and I was NEVER alone - with a group of Glowgis we showed on our rain or shine, in the dark winter mornings and hot and lazy summers. The way I feel before and after these 25 minutes blows my mind every day still. Before the world even wakes up, we get to clear overwhelm, relax our tension, strengthen our body, and feel those muscles sore the next day! My favorite part, not gonna lie :)

The Glow Home Workout Program A is a recording from our daily Morning Live Sessions, and it contains all the tools that have supported and continue to hold me today physically, and spiritually. Now, in my forties, I'm delighted to say that I'm living pain-free and exercising daily! I feel grateful I get to enjoy moving freely today, and I know it's not true for many people.
In a world filled with widespread anxiety, ADD, insomnia, fatigue, and chronic pain, I stand behind the healing powers of DOING our part.
My heart's mission is to ignite a spark within you for daily self-care that's doable, yet challenging, effective, and fulfilling!
Yoga Courses
At Glow, we teach trauma-sensitive holistic yoga, embracing the timeless 8 Limbs and philosophy. Yoga reminds us that the purpose of our life is only fulfilled in the NOW.

Our teaching style is educational, casual, and interactive: we love sharing our favorite mindfulness tools, pranayama, and spiritual wisdom to cultivate inner peace, self-discipline, and self-awareness. We offer a thoughtful variety of yoga classes: Strengthening Flow - Vinyasa, Chair Yoga, Gentle Beginner-Friendly Yoga, Yin-Restorative, Meditation & Breathwork. Our minimum recommendation is 3 classes a week.

Tension & Pain Relief Courses
Who doesn't love a massage? And can we tell you that you should, and can have it weekly? Massage reduces cortisol and inflammation, increases oxytocin that restores our energy, quality sleep, immune system, and recovery. Massage therapy is the best natural pain relief treatment and is highly recommended for cancer recovery and prevention. Please take advantage of our Spa Membership to book an affordable monthly massage, and try our thoughtful video sequences using massage therapy TuneUp Balls and a foam roller at home for a feel-good stiffness-pain-inflammation relief in your entire body, and specific areas. We host an in-person Chill Yoga & TuneUp Massage class on Saturdays 10:30a >
If you are currently in pain, we recommend applying our Joint-Muscle Care Oil 2-3 times a day, book Red Light Therapy with Massage to reduce inflammation, and start your recovery. To prevent inflammation, our recommendation for massage, or self-led myofascial tension release is once a week.
