About Me
I'm Nathalia Pereira, originally from Brazil but currently living in France.
I'm a Certified Yoga Teacher recognized by Yoga Alliance (International Yoga Federation), with 450 hours in Integral Yoga and Hatha Vinyasa Yoga.
I've been practicing Yoga since 2009. Obtaining my first certification as a Yoga Teacher in 2018.
Since then, I have been studying and improving myself more and more so that I can transmit the knowledge in yoga, both in person and virtually, with methods that are suitable for everyone.
I believe that yoga is for everyone, without exception, regardless of gender, religion, physical shape and ability, social class, etc.
Also, I am very curious about holistic practices, such as Ayurvedic Medicine and Aromatherapy.
About Yoga Nati
The word Yoga comes from the Sanskrit root Yuj (युज्) which means Union, Communion or Unity.
Yoga is a science [and philosophy] that teaches us the method of joining the individual soul and the Supreme Soul. Yoga is the control of mind and its modifications. It is the complete suppression of the tendency of the mind to transform itself into objects, thoughts, etc.
In a more pragmatical interpretation, we can understand yoga as a means to harmonize body, mind and soul.
Nati (नति) means "bending down / humility", also came from the sacred language of Yoga (Sanskrit). With humility, we learn to be more generous and it is one of the aims of a yoga and meditation practice.
Nati is also, as my closest friends affectionately call me. :)
