Cat Nortell
she/her
“I am passionate about supporting prenatal and postpartum families. Creating a safe space for bodies, hearts, and minds to take an hour to move, breathe, and rest is one of my greatest joys.”
Cat took her first yoga class with her mom at age 13 and was hooked. As a practitioner, she has explored many styles including Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative, and Ashtanga. In early 2021 she completed her 200 hour yoga certification in Ashland, Oregon at the Ashland Yoga Center. She taught Vinyasa Flow there until moving to Portland. Cat completed a 100 hour prenatal and postpartum yoga and movement training with Next Wave Birth in early 2023, and is excited to be able to support perinatal people in such transformative times in their lives.
If you attend a class led by Cat, expect to breathe, move, giggle, and rest. She keeps things lighthearted and adapts each class to who shows up in the room. She is also always happy to hold a baby (or two) if their parent needs a break during a postpartum class!
