PITTSBURGH -- Dr. Natalie Gentile stands in an exercise studio in Pittsburgh's Strip District, leading a workout class as soothing music plays and images of Pittsburgh flow on a massive screen.
“Inhale, up dog, tops of the feet flat,” she says, confidently shepherding the students through yoga poses and strength exercises. The class this month was part of a series of pop-up events promoting a wellness center that Gentile plans to open in Pittsburgh early next year.
The wellness center will be located in the same building as a new office of Gentile's medical practice, Direct Care Physicians of Pittsburgh, representing the seamless connection that Gentile hopes to draw between wellness and primary care medicine.
