Nataliya is a certified Forrest Yoga and Vinyasa Yoga teacher, recognised as an Experienced Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance. With a deep passion for movement, anatomy, and the transformative power of mindful practice, she has spent years refining her skills and sharing them with others.
Alongside teaching weekly classes, Nataliya offers workshops designed to inspire, challenge, and support students at every stage of their journey. For fellow yoga teachers, she delivers Continuing Education Courses focused on anatomy, sequencing, and hands-on assisting— combining practical techniques with her wealth of experience to help others teach with confidence, precision, and care.
Through all her offerings, Nataliya creates a safe, inclusive space where students can explore their bodies, deepen their practice, and connect more fully with themselves.
Nataliya first encountered yoga in the early 2000s during her recovery from injuries sustained while competing as an elite orienteer representing Ukraine on the international stage. High-level sport can bring both exceptional experiences and physical strain; her injuries gradually healed through dedicated yoga practice and increasing self-awareness.
Yoga has also helped her build the mental and emotional resilience that continues to guide her through life.
She holds a master’s degree in Sport and Physical Education, and the anatomy of the human body has always fascinated her. Through extensive training in Vinyasa and Forrest Yoga, she has focused on anatomy, individual body capabilities, and how physical safety supports mental and emotional transformation.
