“I loved taking my teacher training with Nathalie Croix. She is very knowledgeable, experienced, and could answer all of my questions. She is really friendly and nice too. You can tell just by being around her that she has good energy. I enjoyed hearing her stories about studying in India and she did a really good job teaching us about Indian culture and Sanskrit. I also liked how she taught us about other types of yoga besides vinyasa. She was able to teach us about restorative, prenatal, and ashtanga. It was from this that I learned that I especially love restorative yoga . After teacher training with her, I felt ready to teach yoga and I immediately found teaching jobs at 2 studios. I am so glad that I picked her to train under.” - Rachel Harrer RYT 200 | LA
