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
UPCOMING EVENTS
SATURDAY 30TH NOVEMBER
09.30 - 12.30
Like the petals of a flower, The Kosha system allows us to unveil and explore the layers of ourselves; the physical, energetic, emotional, intellectual and bliss bodies. This 3hr Yin workshop offers the chance to use the gentle holds of Yin poses to reveal the depths of being, culminating in a Yoga Nidra practice. Stay and enjoy a warm drink and some conversation or simply drift away on your Yin cloud…
SUNDAY 5TH JANUARY
09.30 - 12.30
Winter is a time to withdraw into cosy warmth, to restore and reset. The new year itself brings a sense or renewal and beginnings. Gift yourself the time to reflect, nourish and celebrate your body in a 3hr Yin Winter workshop, where lingering in gently-held poses, breathwork and Yoga Nidra work their restorative magic.

My Friday Yin Yoga class offers a chance to gently stretch connective tissues through floor-based sequences and focus on stimulating and clearing energy pathways.
