After using yoga to heal myself from chronic back pain, I have been on a mission to empower people to actively participate in their own healing and regeneration. My journey began over 20 years ago when I worked in the Spanish radio industry. I suddenly found myself suffering from chronic lower back pain. In search of relief, I developed a dedicated yoga practice which helped to deeply heal my body

. My restoration was life-changing and inspired me on my path to teaching yoga. As a Yoga Therapist, the most important thing for me is to make yoga accessible to all. For over two decades, I’ve taught in various settings, from private and studio classes to shelters, schools, rehabilitation centers, hospitals, and churches. I love creating positive environments that are self-paced and inclusive. My approach to teaching stems from the unique needs of each individual. Through my own healing journey and after helping hundreds of clients, I know what it is like to suffer or feel like the only option you have is a lifetime of painkillers. I want to show you how you can live pain-free, get better sleep, manage your stress, improve your strength, and create a brand new relationship with your body. Chronic Pain

My specialties include pre and post-natal yoga, pelvic floor work, and posture and gait alignment. I also focus on helping individuals living with autoimmune diseases, chronic pain, scoliosis and PTSD. As a Yoga Therapist, I am passionate about anatomy and the biomechanics of movement, and this informs how I approach the application of asanas for mind-body wellness. Praises:

I credit Natalie's exquisite yoga (life) classes with bringing my son back to life after nearly dying from a severe chronic health condition.Her compassionate and fun loving life force, along with her understanding of yoga, human beings and the pain response are a combination that cannot be matched. I now enjoy Natalie's classes regularly and cannot recommend her more! Natalie is an excellent yoga teacher who shares her love of yoga and her knowledge on how the body works with enthusiasm, kindness and humor.Her work is suitable for all levels of yoga experience. As a novice yoga student, I was at first intimidated by the idea of joining a class, but attending Natalie's classes over the years, gave me the confidence and reassurance to practice regularly. She is an inspiring teacher and a great human being. Until I began to practice with Natalie, I tried yoga at a number of yoga studios and gyms. I often found myself injured. Nine years ago I connected with Natalie, and because of her knowledge of the human body; her precise, technical instructions; and her warmth, compassion and sense of humor, I have a better understanding of my body. Natalie was able to adjust my practice to fit me. I now I am confident that I can have an injury free practice, and keep improving whether in a studio, online or at home.

Please stop telling us to relax.
The gaslighting doesn’t only come from doctors who run normal tests and tell you nothing is wrong. It comes from the people who love you too.
Your circle means well. But when someone who doesn’t understand what’s happening in your body tells you to relax, to breathe, to calm down, while you’re in the middle of air hunger or a flare — it lands as a message that you’re not doing enough. That if you just tried harder, this would ease up.
I’ve spent over two decades teaching people to regulate their nervous systems. And even I will tell you: that message is wrong here. It’s not malicious. It’s incomplete. And incomplete information delivered with confidence is still gaslighting, even from someone who loves you.
You don’t owe anyone a calm response to a real physiological alarm.
You’re allowed to say: “This isn’t a relaxation problem. This is happening at a cellular level. I need you to believe me, not coach me.”
Find the people who can hold that without needing to fix it. That’s the circle worth keeping.

Air hunger is real when you’re dealing with Lyme + Babesia 🫁 The psoas shares attachments with your diaphragm — releasing it has genuinely helped me breathe easier and regulate my nervous system. Try constructive rest pose: knees bent, feet down, gently press thighs away to create space. Breathe into it.

Yesterday was hard.

Today feels lighter.

Living with Lyme disease means I never quite know which version of the day I’ll wake up to. Sometimes I’m climbing out of the rubble. Sometimes I’m laughing, creating, and feeling alive again.

I’ve stopped waiting for life to be predictable.

Instead, I’ve learned to begin again.

This poem by Jane Hirshfield reminds me that our lives are built in the ordinary moments, one day at a time.

Whatever today looks like for you, may you find the courage to begin again. 🤍
