Hi I’m Nathalie, founder of Jai Yen Yoga.
Having lived in Thailand for many years, I consider it my second home and, in Thai, ‘Jai Yen’ translates as 'cool heart' - a sense of calm.
I've been practising Yoga for almost 30 years. I completed my training with Yoga Reloaded in 2020, closely followed by Yin Yoga training which has been a passion of mine since I took my first class!
I like to explore themes based on anatomy, Yogic philosophy, Traditional Chinese Medicine and use inspiration from my daily life and connection with my students.
For me, Yoga provides Balance: in my thoughts, my outlook, and it heightens my awareness of all things body! It's about strength, stretch, movement and the beautiful subtle awareness of our energy and intuition with regard to our own bodies. Most importantly, Yoga invites us to pause and reset.
To be able to facilitate and explore with my students on their yoga journey is truly a privilege and why Yoga feels magical and boundless to me.
Let's find balance,
Natalie
NATHALIE'S OFFERINGS
Workshops
SUNDAY 1ST JUNE | 13.30 - 16.00
Restorative & Reiki
A Restorative practice centres on supporting the body in poses using plenty of props to allow the body to rest fully. From here, we can allow minds to process thoughts & emotions and simply ‘be’ with ourselves.
I’m excited to collaborate with Jo from Yutori Reiki who will offer Reiki healing energy to you whilst you dwell in your restorative practice. This can be hands on or hands off depending on your personal preference. Learn more about Jo here.
Limited spaces for this one so book in soon. We’re both looking forward to sharing the space with you!
