Special In-Studio Event With Nicole Bratt
“And still, after all this time,
The sun never says to the earth,
‘You owe Me.’
Look what happens with
A love like that,
It lights the Whole Sky.“
~ Hafez
Join Nicole Bratt for this special Summer Solstice practice to honor the longest day of the year — and to celebrate our physical studio re-opening!
We have each carried so much this past year. We again find ourselves in the midst of many transitions. Come lay it all down and receive the gift of stillness during one the most energetically potent days of the celestial year.
This will be a Restorative yoga practice with guided meditation. Restorative yoga is a receptive practice where the body lies relaxed on the floor, completely supported by props, so that you may deeply rest and drop into the parasympathetic nervous system. No previous yoga experience is necessary.
✓ Dress comfortably in layers and please bring your own eye cover.
✓ Studio props and yoga mats will be provided.
✓ If you are more comfortable using your own props, please feel welcome to bring a yoga mat, 2 bolsters, 4 blankets, 2 blocks, and an eye cover.

About the instructor: Nicole Bratt
Nicole, a Midwest native, is committed to holding space for students so that they may benefit from this elegant practice we know as yoga. She is deeply honored to be doing just that as the Studio Manager at Seattle Yoga Arts. Her life passion is cultivating vibrant and inclusive community wellness, and she is excited to bring her diverse background as a graphic designer, yoga teacher, event planner, photographer, volunteer coordinator, and small business owner to SYA.
As a group fitness instructor, Nicole explored yoga briefly in her 20s, but initially there was little resonance. When yoga crossed her path again in her 30s, she discovered she was ready to fully embrace its life-changing gifts. Her path led to completing both 200-hr and 500-hr teacher trainings at Yoga Tree San Francisco, and she now specializes in Restorative, gentle, therapeutic, and prenatal modalities. She is passionate about the power of stillness as a transformational experience, as well as an antidote to urban living. After 12+ years living, working, and studying in San Francisco, Nicole transplanted to our lush, beautiful Seattle. When she’s not at the studio, you are likely to find Nicole outdoors, listening to live music, creating art, making/eating delicious food, adventuring near and far, or taking a nap.
