Success Stories from our Clients

This training has been a grounding gem of an opportunity… both pragmatic and esoteric, worth waiting for!

I met Natasha as a long term student of yoga at a time I was looking for a much more in depth knowledge of philosophy, practicum and pragmatism. She delivered the most comprehensive, sensitive and authentic study and I came away from the experience profoundly changed. She completely addressed my personal understanding of both the practice and its application to my life.

I now grasp my doshic constitution and challenges through the lens of Ayurveda: my pitta propensity and my vata lifestyle. Through asana (posture), Natasha helped identify my lifelong habit of working my body/mind to its limits and taught me to soften  effort to find ease and energetic restoration in my body. Also, I’ve integrated daily habits that stay with me years later based on our study of Ayurveda that include cooling, calming and restorative practices such as self oil massage, eating habits, use of tonic herbs and overall awareness of activities and environment that promotes more balance in my life.

Natasha is the teacher’s teacher, the real deal. She continues to dig deep as a scholar of yoga. In an age of consumer yoga, Natasha’s training has been a grounding gem of an opportunity. As a student of 25 years, I knew I stumbled upon a rare bird of a teacher and the training has been both pragmatic and esoteric, worth waiting for!

Plus, Natasha is fun! I had a blast! ….LOL

I definitely feel more confident and committed to my pursuits, and do less second-guessing of my decisions.

Prior to CHILD of PRANA program I was feeling really indecisive about some big issues in my life and doubting myself.  What stood out the most about working with Natasha was her passion and confidence in the material. She really knows her stuff. After completing the program, I definitely feel more confident and committed to my pursuits. I do less second-guessing of my decisions.

my clients love the benefits of my training

Natasha embodies the authentic teachings of yoga and brings a better understanding of yoga, both on and off the mat.  My personal practice is enhanced exponentially and my students love the benefits of my training.  I am incredibly grateful for her ability to teach the ancient texts for the modern-day yogi.

Natasha works with both of us together but still addresses our individual issues

My friend and I have private yoga therapy sessions because my friend has Parkinson’s and moves slower, is not comfortable in a group setting. Natasha works with both of us together but still addresses our individual issues. She is very positive in all aspects, a joy to have as a guide. We now meet twice a week

my knee, wrist, low back … I can not even remember last time I had PAIN there now!… I am absolutely overjoyed

I have always had a lot of inflammation in my body. Osteoarthritis in my wrists, subluxation in my low back (L3 through L5), and in my right knee –  I have a patellofemoral syndrome, osteoarthritis, synovitis. What brought me to HEAL your FLAME Program was inflammation in my body that results in PAIN: in my back, in my wrists, in my knees. I felt that there must be things I should be doing to deal with it. I did start with anti-inflammatory diet – eating things I found on the internet, like turmeric, other foods, and I do workout diligently… but with all that I still had a lot of pain. That’s when I reached out to Natasha.

What made this program so valuable to me is realizing that the physical movement, breathing, movement of energy in my body, diet – all these aspects of practice are not something separate from how we live. It’s a way of life!

As a result of implementing what Natasha shared with me – not only my knee, but my wrist, low back … I can not even remember last time I had PAIN there now! And I just had surgery on my knees days before starting the program – yet, at my age, just yesterday, I was outdancing teenagers!

I am absolutely overjoyed, every day. I wake up and am excited about what the day holds, every day I have new insights, new inspiration. I am full of happiness, serenity and peace, and people see it. People who know me see the difference. I’ve had 3 friends ask me recently: “did you get a girlfriend?!” “Nope”, i tell them, “I GOT ME!”

Things have been coming to me. I haven’t pursued or asked for anything, but, literally, things that I have always wanted are coming to me now. And I am cherishing that, it is amazing. All I can say is THANK YOU!

I have much greater faith in simple solutions and a much-improved appreciation of the essence of health.

I’ve worked with Natasha to heal painfully dysregulated emotions, digestion, sleep, and energy levels. Besides the many specific remedies that she has recommended  for physical and energetic conditions and the frameworks she has taught me, she has also supported me emotionally to build confidence in my own intuition, knowledge, and path. 

As a result of working with her, I have much greater faith in simple solutions and a much-improved appreciation of the essence of health

I sleep better… I now can ease pain in my body and shift it ever slightly into a state of rest & digest.

I’ve had chronic pain and tension in stomach / intestines for the last 20 years. I’ve tried so so so many other things, none of them helping much. Something about the name “HEAL Your FLAME” resonated with me – that this was a problem of fire in my belly, and what to do with it. A wellspring of patience and resources for healing, Natasha offered so much that I will continue learning from her for months to come. She met me with patience and kindness, no matter what struggles I showed up with. I now have ways of responding to pain in my body and challenges of day to day life. I have a new set of simple things I can do to refocus my attention on something I can control, something positive, and something healing, whether I’m struggling with pain, having trouble falling asleep, or just waiting in line at the grocery store. I sleep better. I am less frustrated. I have simple meditations I can do to channel my attention in a better direction. I now can ease pain in my body and to shift it ever slightly into a state of rest & digest.

I am more optimistic, hopeful and calm. Even when I do get anxious, I am able to bring myself back…

I often have a lot of anxiety. Sometimes it’s overwhelming and the muscle tension that comes with it is painful. I wanted something to help me feel better on a daily basis. I chose the CHILD of PRANA program because it was a healthy alternative and I trusted Natasha. I have known Natasha for a long time and have taken many of her yoga classes in the past. I always felt so refreshed after them – energized and relaxed at the same time, a release from anxiety and tension. If I could work with Natasha to have a better understanding of the practice and incorporate it into my life, I realized there may be a real potential for coping with anxiety. Natasha really knows yoga.

This program has been so valuable, giving me so much insight into what my body is telling me and what I can do to feel better. I now know the importance of slowing down and listening to myself. I have created yoga practices that are in tune with what I need to feel balanced and less anxious. As a result, I am more optimistic, hopeful and calm. Even when I do get anxious, I don’t fall so far into overwhelming anxiety. I am able to bring myself back to a calmer state. I am so grateful to Natasha for all the time, energy and knowledge she put into this program.

at 55 years old I was free of Tendonitis and Arthritis discomfort for the first time since I was 16

In addition to other practices Natasha has given me, she suggested using a tongue scraper. I did what I was told expecting nothing. I was “brushing” my tongue after all, how was “scraping” gonna help… Shortly, at 55 years old I was free of Tendonitis and Arthritis discomfort for the first time since I was 16.
And that’s the difference between trying on your own vs getting help. Really, do you want to poke around on the internet and try to DIY or do you want to engage an expert and solve your problem?
