Natalie's Yoga journey
​​Natalie’s yoga journey started in early adolescence, with a vivid picture of mummy doing a handstand on the sheepskin, a typical 90’s scene in Australia! As well as her surfing friends, practicing yoga to build strength in their shoulders and practice their breath with meditation to withstand the force of the waves in surfing.
At 15 yrs her life changed when she walked into the studios of Peace Yoga practicing over the ocean, guided by the light of the moon. Those memories of yoga stuck with Natalie and often came to her in crossroads of her life, like the philosophy of naturopathy did. With regular practice and support Natalie was slowly able to rest her mind, and overcome paralysing anxiety and find another option outside of antidepressants, of which she had been prescribed from 11 - 23 years old.
As London life took a hold, she lost her yoga practice. She couldn't find the nourishing loving space that she longed for like Peace Yoga. Natalie never wanted to be a yoga "teacher", but wanted to delve deeper into the ancient philosophy and learn of the tools for self mastery that she has seen transform so many lives, as well as her own.
She also felt something was missing in her Naturopathic Clinic, to help her clients adapt to stress. As science is slowly confirming the root of nearly all chronic disease in the Western World is stress, due to our slow but progressive evolution to adapt to the modern world.
The tools of yoga science help us to master the game of life, whether your initial focus is to strengthen your body, or transcend your mind, Yoga encompasses everything and meets you where you are. Throughout our lives, different teachers present themselves at different times, but only when we’re ready. Finally 12 years on; Natalie was finally ready to train under Amrita Doreena Scales at Peace Yoga. And teaching is what she was born to do.
Now, Natalie can finally say she’s actually free. Free from the bondage of expectations. With a daily practice and acknowledgement of the whole science of yoga. has Natalie finally been able to embrace living creatively. She hopes to leave you feeling nourished, and empowered in your own self awareness, leaving the class with courage ready to face any obstacles that come your way, and notice the beauty of everything on your path.
From my heart to yours,
