Dr. Natalie Nevins, DO, a board-certified osteopathic family physician and certified Kundalini Yoga instructor states, “As an osteopathic physician, I focus a lot of my efforts on preventive medicine and practices, and in the body’s ability to heal itself. Yoga is a great tool for staying healthy because it is based on similar principles.”
