Natalie Danielle
Yoga Instructor
Where were you born and raised?
Born and raised right here in San Antonio, Texas!
How did you get started in health and fitness?
In high school and college I was a cross country runner - strength & stretch took a back seat - I LOVED to run. However my lack of cross training and flexibility negligence led to bones breaking and tendons tearing. Without the ability to run I spiraled and struggled not only with depression but adapting to a "new healthy" lifestyle where I wasn't running 6-10 miles almost everyday and recklessly carb loading. Struggling with weight gain and frustrated from the new physical considerations I stumbled into a yoga class. Instantly I fell in love! I felt open. strong , mobile and for the first time in my life.. Mindful. Yoga helped my feel empowered and compassionate with my physical practice and the body I have RIGHT NOW. Working to my health, movement, and lifestyle goals with self-love and true presence.
What is your favorite class to teach?
Power Yoga/ Strong Flow - it's a dynamic combination of flexibility, strength and fun.
What do you want every person to get out of your class?
Always empowering prepare to enter a well- rounded class of mindful movement and intentional breath; challenge yourself to greater compassion and connection with your own body, mind, and soul. Break down patterns and evoke a spiritual striving for balance. I want my students to explore their own personal and creatively healing movement - YOUR movement. YOUR practice.
