hi, i’m nat

I’m a Yoga Teacher and Somatic Movement Educator based in West Norfolk.  I teach weekly in-person Somatic Slow Flow Yoga in Castle Acre for Beginners and Improvers and one-to-one Somatics sessions from my garden studio in West Acre.

I’m passionate about guiding people to experience the simple pleasure of embodied movement, rediscovering the body’s innate intelligence, strength and fluidity through a playful practice that promotes stability, ease, lightness and integration.  In my classes I invite you to slow down, tune into your breath and sense and feel your body from the inside out.  Most importantly I encourage you to listen to your body and mind - your soma - with an attentive, kind and self-compassionate attitude.

“Soma: the body as perceived from within”
— Thomas Hanna (founder of Somatics)

reviews from past students

  • Natalie is a born teacher. She communicates effectively, is non-judgemental, has good humour, patience and common sense. She makes yoga accessible. I feel really lucky to have the opportunity to attend her classes and recommend her unreservedly.

    Grainne McAlonan

  • It’s a joy being in the room with Natalie. She is warm and inclusive and creates an atmosphere that is as lighthearted as it is calm and focused. She’s patient and exceptionally sharp- she notices everything!

    Tan Yun Ning

  • Natalie is an attentive instructor who is professional, inspiring, supportive and encouraging. Her knowledge and sense of humour fill her classes with positive energy, and yet a sense of calm and well-being prevails. She makes adjustments kindly and accurately, creating a relaxed and enjoyable environment in which to learn.

    Charlotte Paterson

  • I had not practiced yoga prior to starting the beginners course with Natalie and was very nervous about not being able to keep up with the younger participants. I worried needlessly as Natalie was always there to encourage me. She tailored my practice to suit me whilst allowing me to keep up with the rest of the class.

    Fiona Minto

  • I was extremely apprehensive about starting yoga classes but Natalie's encouraging and compassionate teaching style has meant that I have felt at completely at ease and have enjoyed her classes immensely. She has a wonderful calming influence on her students and I really appreciate how she takes time to explain some of the background to yoga practice. I always come away from Natalie's class feeling grounded and relaxed.

    Moira McInnes,

  • I really enjoy Natalie's yoga classes. It's difficult to find a teacher who weaves a good balance between the spiritual side of yoga with a physical practice tailored to each student's needs, and I find Natalie does this beautifully. She teaches with kindness, knowledge, humour, and confidence, and I would not hesitate to recommend her!
