Wanting to find balance between body and mind, Nathalie Njeim – aka nat-on-the-mat – started practicing yoga in Dubai, in 2008. Like many others, she first explored the different styles of yoga available around her, until feeling a profound natural connection with the Ashtanga Yoga tradition. A discipline she saw perfect to improve focus, balance, coordination, and physical-mental-awareness.
Following 6 years of rigorous practice, Nat started to attend Ashtanga workshops led by internationally renowned senior instructors, such as Joanne and Mark Darby, Kino MacGregor, David Robson, Arne Espejel, Petri Räisänen, Flora Brajot, Gibran Gonzalez and Samuel Brown, just to name a few.
Since then, she repeatedly visited the city of Mysore in India, returning time and again to the source of Ashtanga, to study under the guidance of Paramaguru Sharath Jois.
In 2022, after 13 years of practice and 10 years of teaching yoga, Nat became the only Lebanese Authorized Level II Ashtanga teacher in Lebanon.Her focus and various techniques will definitely help you improve your practice, as she teaches you everything about proper alignment.
