Natalie’s passion for helping others shines through her work. At the University of South Florida, she became Group Fitness Certified and dove headfirst into teaching classes, attending trainings, and earning certifications. After a 20-hour YogaFit course, she was hooked—her yoga journey had just begun.

With a B.S. in Health Sciences from USF, Natalie traveled to Rishikesh, India, the Yoga Capital of the World. There, she spent two months immersed in Hatha and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga at Yoga Vidya Mandiram, a serene school nestled in the Himalayas by the Ganges River.

Back in Florida, Natalie started teaching yoga on the beach and leading group fitness classes. Her experience as an Activities Assistant at an Assisted Living and Memory Care Facility sparked the creation of The Clumsy Yogi, bringing chair yoga to seniors and memory care residents.

Today, The Clumsy Yogi focuses on creating unique and memorable experiences through special event classes like bachelorette yoga and corporate yoga sessions. We also prioritize making wellness accessible to everyone by offering free online YouTube practices and virtual content. Beyond events and online resources, The Clumsy Yogi provides inclusive wellness options like Chair Yoga, Chair Fitness, Water Aerobics, Art Activities, Sound Healing, and Private Training, with a special focus on aging and memory care populations.
