About

Hey, I’m Natalie! 💛

About Me

I’m so glad you’re here. I truly believe that the connection between a student and teacher is sacred. Some of our most vulnerable and transformative moments happen the second we close our eyes on the mat, so it’s important you know who is holding that space for you.

My journey didn't start with a perfect handstand; it started with an old VHS tape and a lot of doubt. While recovering from an illness during university, I turned to yoga - all while stubbornly claiming it was "only for flexible people."

What I discovered was a practice that didn't care about my flexibility. It cared about my recovery, my mental clarity, and my resilience. I was hooked.

The "aha" moment that changed my life happened 4,000 miles away at Walt Disney World. Standing in front of Cinderella’s Castle at sunrise, I experienced a class that felt less like exercise and more like a homecoming. The way the teachers moved the crowd stayed with me. I knew then that I didn't just want to practice yoga - I wanted to share its transformative power with the world.

Off the mat, I’m a firm believer that yoga should support your life, not consume it - it’s the fuel that allows you to show up fully for the things you love. For me, that means having the energy to hike, keep up with my love for sports or dance my heart out to country music. I’m also a huge lover of the outdoors, with a growing bucket list of US National Parks that I’m ticking off, one adventure at a time.

My Experience

You are in safe, capable and experienced hands.

My journey onto the mat began with a leap of faith. Since completing my initial 200 hour training, I have dedicated thousands of hours to the craft of teaching. My experience spans every setting imaginable - from intimate village halls and high-energy gyms to leading 25–30 classes a week at busy city centre studios. Whether we’re moving through a high-energy flow or a quiet restorative session, I hope you benefit from a teaching foundation built over thousands of hours in studios, in the community and online.

Studio & Private Classes: Years of experience leading group classes and 1:1 sessions tailored to individuals.
Retreats & Workshops: Creating immersive experiences worldwide that go deeper than a 60 minute class.
Corporate Wellness: Bringing mindfulness to the workplace to help teams find balance in a busy world.
Digital Connection: When the world paused in 2020, I pivoted to YouTube. With a bit of "techy" help from my husband, I discovered a passion for building a global online community that continues to thrive today.

Teacher Training Experience

I hold a deeply special place in my heart for leading my 200 hour Teacher Training programmes and CPDs, helping the next wave of teachers find their own voice and technical precision. Far more than just a professional qualification, these courses offer a truly transformative space for anyone seeking to deepen their personal practice and self-understanding.

Whether you aspire to teach full time or simply wish to explore the rich philosophy behind movement, the course is designed to be fully accessible to practitioners from all backgrounds and experience levels. By breaking down anatomy, philosophy, and sequencing into clear, manageable steps, we ensure that every student feels thoroughly supported on their unique learning journey. It is an absolute privilege to watch teacher trainees step into their confidence and realise how welcoming and life-changing this path can be.

Thank you for reading!

For me, teaching isn't just about the poses; it's about the hundreds of bodies I've worked with and the thousands of breaths we've shared. My goal is to use those years of experience to make your practice feel like home.

My teaching offers a holistic journey that honours the balance between physical strength and mental stillness. I blend dynamic, alignment-focused movement with intentional breathwork, creating a practice that is as empowering as it is restorative. My passion lies in helping you find your 'inner sanctuary' while building the confidence to meet your edge on the mat. By combining traditional yogic teachings with modern movement science, I aim to make yoga accessible and transformative for every body, leaving you feeling grounded, strong, and deeply connected to yourself both on and off the mat.
