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.

Dry brushing for Lyme support

One small piece of my lymph practice: lying on my back, knees bent, brushing from the low belly up toward the heart with light, slow strokes.

Your lymphatic system has no pump of its own. It relies on movement, breath, and gentle touch. When your body is dealing with chronic infection like Lyme and co-infections, that support can matter.

If these practices help you and you’d like to support my work, my healing, and my livelihood while I navigate Lyme, you can buy me a coffee ☕ Link in bio. I’m so grateful.

Gentle practice, not medical advice. Check with your practitioner, especially if you have skin concerns or are in a flare.

Yesterday I felt like it was the end. Today I’m swimming, playing, and bathed in joy.

That’s life with Lyme. You can’t predict it. But it’s not about deserving. The hard days aren’t a punishment and the good days aren’t a prize. There’s just one more click, one more thing to learn.

On the good days, I gather the goodness, remember it, and seal it in my joy reservoir. It will change, but I’ll be more prepared.

What’s in your reservoir? Tell me below.

If you’re struggling, call or text 988 (US Su***de & Crisis Lifeline), any hour. Outside the US: findahelpline.com
