Natalie started her Yoga asana practice at a young age with her mom. What started as watching a zebra-print-leotard-clad Raquel Welch and her posse of yogis as a child evolved through cross-training for running, mental/emotional self-care, and spiritual connection. Yoga has been paramount for transmuting traumas and negative thought patterns into a sense of peace. Natalie received her 200 hour as well as Yin YTT through Radiant Life Yoga in Minneapolis, MN in 2020, which helped deepen her respect and understanding of this ancient practice. She received her Buti Yoga certification through Rise Yoga in Golden, CO in 2021. Honoring the spirituality and traditions while also creating an open and modern feel is important to Natalie. She would be honored to connect with you!
