“Nathalie is a master of her craft.  Her class combines a workout with mediation and serenity.  I have never felt any strain or felt stress on my joints under her instruction.  I leave her class feeling physically stronger, less stressed, and more open to life. “  Ashley Wilson

“ Nathalie is a bright light in the yoga world here in Los Angeles.  She is a sincere and soulful teacher who is deeply committed to her path and helping other beings.  I highly recommend a class with her to those seeking a healing and meditative approach to yoga.”  Saul David Raye



     Nathalie comes from a mixed background of famous Hollywood actors and Corsican/Italian sheepherders. Ever since she can remember, Nathalie has always been searching for balance and integration, which led her on a spiritual quest through dance, meditation and the need to create community.

    Her compassion for other human beings and her need for healing self and community are the driving forces in her practice and teaching of yoga. She is a certified teacher of Yoga and Meditation. Her classes are meditative, gentle and strengthening, reflecting her background in dance, physical therapy, meditation, and her studies on relaxation.


She assists her students in deepening personal awareness, connecting them to their unique and graceful expression.


We are all shaped differently and we all have our own stories, but we can all breathe more deeply, we can all connect to our spirits and to our hearts, and we can all strengthen, open and heal our minds and our bodies. This is what Yoga helps us do.

*She is a certified Yoga teacher at the 500 hr level +. RY Nathalie is grateful for the teachings of Max Strom and Saul David Raye, whom she worked with and assisted , in Venice Ca. And she is deeply grateful for her late father who taught her mindfulness in always noticing the beauty in Nature.
