Testimonials
"Dearest Natasha, you've given me access to so much strength, wisdom and love over the past 5 years. My entire world thanks you. I can't figure an adequate way to thank you myself - other than to say that I hold you very close to my heart"

Her ability to create a sacred, safe, and transformative environment are very natural :
“I have seen Natasha demonstrate her teaching skills to both the regular public as well as those more challenged, for example teaching in a woman’s spiritual/physical rehabilitation facility called Shakti Rising. Her ability to create a sacred, safe, and transformative environment are very natural. She gives articulate directions and guidance to lead students into their hearts and greater health. “

Internationally recognized yoga teacher and functional nutrition practitioner.
Even in a community full of excellence, generosity, and love, she stood out:
I was lucky enough to be able to regularly attend Natasha's classes for the past several years (2010-2018). Natasha shares her practice and her light in that rare way that nourishes everyone around her. Even in a community full of excellence, generosity, and love she stood out. Her class was always the highlight of my week, I left feeling better physically and spiritually every single time. The only thing that even begins to soothe the pain of losing her as my yoga teacher is knowing that she will still be that same generous, kind, loving soul who has been called to new avenues that will help herself and others like she helped all of her students here.

Your attention to detail and the way you so obviously care make you the best teacher I’ve ever been to.

Playful and Technical :
“Natasha’s classes are inspiring both spiritually and physically. She always invites her students to personal reflection during class, but she also asks them to manifest their insights physically. She’s playful and technical. I’ve truly enjoyed her classes and have encouraged my friends to be a part of her practice. She’s helped me work through a tough back injury and is sensitive to each person’s limitations but does not allow them to necessarily limit themselves.”

Natasha is the type of teacher that really pays attention to her students:
“Natasha is the type of teacher that really pays attention to her students. She is so talented that she can give you a small tip to get your pose just perfect, weave a story into the entire practice AND teach a class that it is at everyone’s level”

She has taught me patience and perseverance through postures and meditation :
“I have been a private student of Natasha’s for the past two years. Her compassionate and lighthearted teaching style has helped me achieve many of my goals as a yoga student. She has taught me patience and perseverance through postures and meditation. I highly recommend her as an instructor.
Natasha, thank you for being the beautiful and amazing person you are. Your inspiration shines likes rays from the sun and touches so many people. Thank you so much for believing in me and for introducing me to yoga”
