Natasja's background is in dance , group fitness and fitness training. She studied at the CodArts, School of Dance & Performing Arts, in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and worked as a fitness trainer and group exercise instructor for the GoodLife fitness clubs from 1999 - 2009. In the summer of 2007 Natasja won the prestigious award of "Group Exercise Instructor of the Year" for the GoodLife fitness clubs and travelled to New Zealand to visit the LesMills head quarters.
Natasja thoroughly enjoyed teaching fitness classes which allowed her to inspire others to transform their bodies so that they had more self confidence, energy and zest for life. It wasn't until after the birth of her first child that Natasja felt more drawn to the yoga practice. Each class left her feeling energized, balanced and gave her more clarity. In 2007 Natasja started to study with Shiva Rea and Maria Garre and became PranaFlow certified in 2009. She soon realized that her path was taking her on a spiritual quest and journey of self-realization and travelled to India where she stayed for 3 weeks in an ashram. It taught her to become more patient, quiet and that true happiness is found in the depths of our heart. No material wealth can bring you this kind of happiness only the relationship you foster with your own heart and the hearts of others. As Natasja says; " In the end all that ever really mattered is how much we loved and were loved".
Currently Natasja teaches over 10 classes a week at the studio as well she teaches frequently at local high schools sharing the joy, love and passion for yoga and spirituality with the students, hosts international retreats annually in Costa Rica and has presented at the Toronto Yoga Conference in 2012.
Natasja's classes are lively, passionate, dynamic, challenging, fun and inspiring, bringing you closer to your authentic self.
