Hi, I’m Natalee, the owner of Summit Hot Yoga.
This studio has been a part of my life since I started practicing here in 2018, long before I ever imagined I would one day be honored to call it my own.
I became a certified yoga teacher in August 2022, after nearly a decade as a stay-at-home mom. Yoga had already been a grounding force in my life, but in March of 2023, when my children and I lost my husband to suicide, it became something even deeper. In the hardest season of my life, this community held space for my grief, supported my children and me, and offered a place where I could breathe again. Teaching during that time was, and continues to be, one of the most healing parts of my grief journey, giving me a space where I could have an entire hour to think about nothing but breath, movement and my students.
In April of 2025, I purchased the studio from its previous owner, and stepping into this role has felt like a full-circle moment. It is a privilege to nurture the space that carried me and continues to do so. It is a gift to give back the same compassion, connection, and steady support that this community gave to me.
My hope is that when you walk through our doors, you feel the same sense of belonging, healing, and compassion that I found here. Whether you’re seeking strength, stillness, healing, or community, you are welcome exactly as you are.
I can’t wait to practice with you. -Natalee
