Level 3 Yoga Teacher Badge

Yoga therapist and teacher with 20+ years’ experience. I combine yoga, movement, strength, simple breathing and relaxation to help people move with more confidence, whatever their age, ability or starting point.

I’m Natasha Whelan, a C-IAYT Yoga Therapist, yoga teacher, Yoga Nidra teacher and Therapeutic Art Practitioner. I’ve practised yoga for over 30 years and have been teaching yoga and movement for more than 20 years.

My teaching is practical and adaptable, combining yoga with movement, strength work, simple breathing practices, relaxation and Yoga Nidra. I work with people experiencing pain, hypermobility, stress, fatigue, long-term health conditions and the changes that come with menopause and ageing.

My approach is not about flexibility or perfect poses. I’m interested in helping people understand their bodies, build strength and confidence, and find movement and rest practices that are useful in everyday life.

My training includes yoga therapy, women’s health, resistance stretching, anatomy, Yoga Nidra, breathing and therapeutic movement, alongside an Advanced BTEC in Nutrition and Health.

Current influences

My teaching has been shaped by many teachers, traditions and approaches over the years. Some of the strongest influences on my work include the Yoga Nidra Network and iRest, particularly in my teaching of Yoga Nidra and rest, and Jules Mitchell’s work around yoga, biomechanics, strength and movement. I’m also influenced by the wider fields of yoga therapy, pain science, anatomy, women’s health, strength training and therapeutic movement, as well as the many teachers and practitioners I’ve had the opportunity to learn from throughout my career.

Natasha was a wonderful instructor for a series of online classes. Just what I needed to recentre and restore. She provided a combination of movement and deep relaxation, which helped me a lot. I love her warm and open style — I felt safe and supported in all of the classes. And her guided meditations (yoga nidra) are the best!

I met Natasha when she led a class during a group retreat. Her approach to Yoga seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. Targeted stretches and exercises geared not just for my physical health but my emotional and mental health as well. At every class we address how I am feeling on all fronts and we go from there, all the while she is keeping my over all goals of more flexibility and mobility in mind. The classes I take with her have been extremely helpful in my day to day life and her studio is so absolutely serene and calming. Natasha herself is authentic, knowledgeable and caring. I look forward to every class.

I have found the experience of Nourish Yoga Therapy to be a very positive experience. Natasha is very understanding, she listens and gives time to understand what is happening. She tailor makes the treatment required to the individual’s need. I first met Natasha when she was recommended by a family member whilst I was holidaying in Barbados. I had real problems with my back. My back is better but since my return I have had online appointments to support me with yoga, meditation & breathing exercises. I would recommend Natasha without hesitation.
