Natalie Almond

Natalie has been practising yoga for 22 years and teaching for 15 years, with an athletic background she realised fit and healthy was created by yoga more than any other physical exercise she had tried.

With a great need to heal herself she learnt a lot about bodily functions. Natalie realised the pH balance of the body is an important part to all healing, this is all related to Ha -Tha, sun-moon, male-female, yin-yang, liver-spleen, acid-alkaline and mind-body. Bringing the two sides (left - right) of the body into balance the posture is corrected, the pH is balanced along with the mind and body, this way the soul can reside in a comfortable body with a radiant spirit.

Natalie began stretching her body while into sports in the late 80's, her stretching sessions became longer and longer,which led her to trying out a few yoga classes. She then discovered there was an imbalance in some of her organs, just like another of those stories of fate; one week later she found her first yoga teacher and healer John Burke. Noticing a great change in her well being through every aspect she began to learn more about yoga and healing and dived in with an obsessive interest (her first truly healthy obsession).

In 1993 Natalie traveled to Thailand where she met Asokananda; teacher of Traditional Thai massage, yoga and meditation she studied with him in a small village in the mountains of northern Thailand healing the body's energy. Since then Natalie began practicing healing and has been coming across healers of many different modalities who shared their knowledge with her.


Natalie met Swami Saraswati in 2001 where she did her yoga teachers diploma, Swami one of the first teachers bringing yoga to Australia, a wonderfully yogic minded teacher has taught her a lot about healing and state of mind.

Natalie has held many workshops and retreats since 1996. She has given talks and demonstrations at healing conventions and festivals. Her passion is the chakras and seasonal yoga practices for which she holds classes and workshops.

Natalie's healing keys is; strong belief in visualisation, creating a deep and meaningful relationship with the body and organs by talking to them with true intent. She understands the emotional state is vital to our health and the way we think.

Keeping the body, soul, spirit balanced, the 5 elements; earth, air, water, wood, fire in harmony, and the chakras active, we should be able to maintain a healthy immune system, flexibilty in mind and body giving a healthy emotional state.

Natalie has taught people with chronic fatigue, HIV positive, anxiety, depression and many other ailments with consideable success and people of all ages from 3 years old.
