Bio in more detail:

Nathalie has been practising meditation for more than 30 years and has taught Deep Meditation since 2005. The benefits of her meditation practice inspired her to share the experience of inner peace and led her to deepen her studies. After 15 years of practise and experience, she received the knowledge to teach this Vedic Meditation technique.  This was done through 500 hours of training between 2001 and 2005, under the guidance of her principal teacher who was formally trained by the great master Maharishi Mahesh Yoga, with whom he travelled and became his translator to French in the 1980s.  Her passion for learning and sharing the depths of meditation is the core engine of her life and vocation.  You too can learn meditation, through instruction with her, either online or in person in Vancouver, B.C.

She has been integrating the principles of Ayurveda into her life since 1999, the same year she started to teach yoga.  In 2013, she received certification as an Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultant and is now offering counselling in nutrition and lifestyle, which can be done in person, or online. She is also facilitating courses for Ayurveda and Self-Care online, in person in Vancouver and other locations in British Columbia. 

Furthermore, Nathalie has been a Hatha Yoga practitioner since the early 90s. She has been teaching it since 1999, right after she completed her first Teacher Training Course at the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Ashram. She later completed many Teacher Training Courses: in the Ashtanga tradition with David Swenson in 2001, in Viniyoga with TKV Desikachar in 2003, as well as in Anusara from 2004 to 2010.  In 2011, she began studying Yin Yoga and added this approach to her offerings. Yoga asanas bring to the body what meditation practice brings to the mind.  Contact her to find out about her schedule and availabilities.

Testimonials

The deep meditation practice in itself has completely changed my life. I have always been a light sleeper but nearly instantly after starting with this technique, I found myself sleeping through a whole night - something I never thought would be possible!! I also found a new sense of calm, both in body and mind. Thank you Nathalie for this life-long gift"

I had reached an impasse or blockage of some kind in my meditation, it was not as fulfilling as it once had been having become perhaps too technical.
Nathalie is exceptional in her ability to guide without directing, to adjust without explicit hard correction. She has been flexible in delivering the course so far and in adjusting to best suit the needs of me as a student.
I feel confident i am in the hands of a knowledgeable and compassionate guide and look forward to the rest of the journey.

I found Nathalie to be a wonderful teacher of meditation, who connects on a personal level while creating structure and imparting knowledge. It was my first time committing to a daily meditation practice and with her guidance I find myself meditating 2x daily for 20 minutes most days. The immense benefit can be measured by better sleep, more energy, and more peace of mind.
