About Nathalie
You can’t but love her smile!
Nathalie AKA Nat on the mat has been on a journey of balance between mind and body since 2008. Like most of us, she started exploring yoga practices in some gyms and yoga studios in Dubai where she resided back then. Nathalie fell in love with Ashtanga and chose it as her school of practice and as she moved a lot, she found herself practicing on her own religiously 6 days a week for 6 years (mostly spent in Bahrain).
She felt the urge to learn more, to study more, to reconnect with the source of Ashtanga so she started to travel to study with international senior instructors such as Kino Mc Gregor, David Robson, Arne Espejel, Petri Raisanan, Flora Brajot and so many more. Few years later in 2016, she found herself in Myore India and this was a turning point in her life.
She went a second time in 2017 and will try to go on a yearly basis as it is a very special experience connecting her deeply with the heart and the lineage of Ashtanga yoga. And it also gives another dimension to her whole practice and to her teachings.
