NATASHA YOUR INSTRUCTOR: ----------------------------------------------- Hello, I am Natasha and I am a Leeds based yoga teacher. I have been practicing since my twenties, but it has only been in the last 10 years that my practice has deepened and I have realised how important yoga is to me. As well as the physical practice, the study of Indian yogic philosophy, meditation and pranayama has had a profound impact on how I navigate the ups and downs of life. As a Healthcare Professional within cross-sectional imaging, I am constantly reminded how fragile the human body is. I have met inspirational people who have had life-changing illnesses, whose positive outlook has meant they have dealt with their circumstances in a pragmatic way. For me, yoga has been the force that has helped me in also seeing the tiny fragments of blue sky in amongst the storm. I have never been a sporty person, I was not great at team sports, I am not a runner, but I enjoy working with my body to create a strong, healthy environment for living life. The physical aspect of yoga, the Asanas, is something I always happily come to and know that I have seen so much difference in me due to the practice. I have accepted my limitations, rejoiced at my successes and I want to share that with everyone who practices with me. As a teacher, I want to help others connect with their own bodies, to take those tiny movements and adjustments to explore how they can reach balance on and off the mat. My teaching is open to all and with props and modifications, everyone can come with me on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance.
