Mark your calendars! Workshops and courses for 2026 are being added to the schedule!

Newer yogis can join us to learn which variations for different poses suits you best so you can feel more confident stepping into those first yoga classes.

Experienced yogis can discover variations to enhance and challenge your yoga practices.

RYTs attending will develop their educated eye for "reading" bodies and learn how to offer different options that better serve the variety of students in your classes while earning CEUs for your YA certifications.

More workshop details coming soon. Stay tuned!

Strained muscles are never fun. Soft tissue injuries are frustrating when you are busy trying to do this adulting thing. Ain't nobody got time for long recoveries. 😣

My lats have been in spasm for several days now. It's uncomfortable to sit, stand, generally be upright, or breathe. I'm really mostly fine though... so long as I don't need to reach out to the side... or overhead... or out in front of me.

And I've been baffled for days about what caused the injury.

There's no super impressive, dramatic story here. I've been helping my 75 # dog get herself around after her CCL rupture on the 1st, and then there was this incident with a 1,000 # horse last Friday.

So, basically, I was just doing my life things, and now my lats are just super over it all.

Lucky for me, I know a really great movement therapist. 😉So, I'll be on the mend soon ("soon" is, of course, relative when talking about soft tissue injury, so, probably several weeks).

In the meantime, I'll use the downtime to work more on my 2026 plans for courses, workshops, and trainings. Silver linings, I guess 🤷‍♀️

Stay tuned for the cool ideas and programs born out of my being stuck on the sidelines for a bit this fall! 💕 Margo

Massage therapy is a phenomenal complement to therapeutic yoga, and I often recommend clients incorporate both into their wellness plans.

For folks in the South Sound: Dani Dockter is hands down the best LMT I have ever worked with. Highly recommend getting an appointment with her if you are looking for a message therapist in the Tacoma area.

🌿Meet Dani🌿
The newest massage therapist at Marconi Chiropractic and Wellness will be excited to meet you at our Patient Appreciation Day, 11/7! Call to schedule before it’s all booked up.

Massage therapy is my calling. I’m so grateful I get to help people heal in such a personal and beautiful way. Massage is an art I’m drawn to, a gift we all hope to find. I've been practicing massage therapy since 2010 in spa and medical settings. My technique is intuitive and mindful. It blends deep tissue, trigger point, neuromuscular and swedish techniques to maximize therapeutic outcomes. I love problem solving ways to heal chronic pain, repetitive use injuries and trauma. My style of massage allows the nervous system to take a deep breath and welcome positive change. I have a background in occupational therapy working with people recovering from joint replacements, orthopedic injuries and soft tissue damage. This experience allows me to create a successful treatment plan to address pain and stress.

I was born here in the PNW and love to explore all it has to offer. I love to go hiking, walking, paddle boarding and road tripping the most! I also enjoy cooking and spending time with loved ones. You’ll find me taking pictures of sunsets, caring for my plants and coming up with a new overnight oats recipe every week.

🤚Who else has to resist cynical eye rolling whenever they hear someone suggest you begin "setting your intentions" in order to "manifest your desires"? Soooo, hippy-dippy! Right?!?

Well, maybe not. 🤷‍♀️

Setting intentions DOES actually help us define our goals, focus our attention, direct our energy, and ultimately, be far more likely to actually achieve our goals. Whether it's in the form of vision boards, or journal entries, or personal mantras, or just saying it aloud to our accountability buddy, intention setting is a valuable first step toward real success.

But here is a pro tip I've shared time and again with folks who are trying to escape the never ending cycle of chronic pain, daily stress, or constant fatigue ➡ When setting your intentions, focus on How. You. Want. To. Feel. rather than focusing on just another new 'thing' you want to 'do.'

🚫Not, 'I oughta do yoga every day and get more bendy.'

🌟But instead, 'I want to keep enjoying [insert your fave activity here] well into my 70's and beyond, so I'm going to get in the habit of doing at least 10 minutes of yoga every day.'

And this trick works just as well for short term goals, too. So, maybe give it a whirl and try setting your feel good intention for the week ahead.

Cheers to a week of doing a little something toward your best intentions this week!

One of the very first yoga teachers who inspired me. I will always admire and appreciate Annie Carpenter's wisdom. 🙏

Great opportunity for folks in the Seattle area wanting to connect with a yoga therapist. Nicole Bratt Yoga is accepting new clients this fall!

Seattle peeps! 📣 Private client location / schedule announcements!

As of September, I am renting two Seattle spaces where I see private yoga and yoga therapy clients:
💙 Mondays in Columbia City at The Village Witch Hive (formerly the Columbia City Healing Space, next to PCC)
💙 Fridays in Eastlake at The Pelvic Health Clinic (across from Rogers Playground)

🚕 Yes, I am still doing Seattle home visits, but only on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

YES - I am taking new clients! I have limited Monday availability, and lots of Friday availability. Tu/Th openings are rare.
