Natalie Almond

When you meet someone important in your life you generally never forget that first meeting. It was winter in 1998 when I first met Natalie around the fire at a party in Bondi Beach, we watched the transformative power of the fire, shared a joint, a drink, in conversations about yoga and life. Natalie told me she taught Yoga at North Bondi life-saving Club. What an apt name for where she instructed.

Natalie Almond, founder of Anahata Yoga Space, has been teaching Alchemic Yoga and working as a Health and Wellness Coach since 1990. Her approach integrates yoga’s therapeutic benefits with other healing practices to offer transformative experiences. She is one of six global instructors of alchemic yoga, a blend of tantric, Chinese, and Ayurvedic practices. Natalie emphasizes the balance of body, soul, and spirit, using tools like asana, pranayama, Chi Kung, meditation, and more.

Her extensive experience includes studying with renowned teachers and healers and conducting retreats and workshops since 1993. Her personal healing journey, involving recovery from liver disorders, sciatica, and depression through yoga and energy work, underpins her teaching philosophy. She aims to empower others to heal and transform their lives, leveraging her deep knowledge of yoga, energy systems, and various healing modalities. Natalie has also studied yoga therapy and traditional Thai massage, further enriching her holistic approach to health and wellness.

I cannot recommend strongly enough going to Natalie’s website Anahata Yoga Space and working with a true Yogini to know more about your body and how it works as an integrated system in this environment. Natalie’s teachings offer a truly transformative experience.
