Natalie’s Classes
My teaching style is eclectic, inspired by a number of methods including Anusara Yoga; a heart orientated practice with an emphasis on the principles and intricacies of alignment, the gentle relaxation of Sivananda, and the dynamic Ashtanga Vinyasa. I utilize an interdisciplinary approach, which enables me to work effectively with students of varying needs and backgrounds.
