"Nathalie brings a magic light and pure inspiration to every session. Her words of wisdom to physical challenges leave me feeling complete and wanting more. Her cut physique is my inspiration and a reason to keep going when things get tough. "

"I have just reached my first anniversary of working with my God-sent angel, Nathalie Fino! We initially met when I was recovering from a very serious reaction to a doctor-prescribed combination of antibiotics and steroids, due to a simple sinus infection. I now refer to it as my Neurological Breakdown, as most of my neurology was affected. I could barely walk, only by hanging onto someone, my mental capacities were so damaged that I didn’t know how to operate a remote control or cell phone, couldn’t read or remember anything, etc. Even after being released from the hospital, the medical community had nothing to offer. I had a life to get back to and no Doctor seemed to know how to accomplish that. At the advice of my daughter, I turned to alternative medicine: Acupuncture, massage, herbs, and this thing called yoga that I had never considered practicing and knew very little about. We found her online, with great testimonials and she made house calls! Why not give it a try?
From our very first session, I new I had someone on my side who could truly help me. She exuded such kindness and empathy for my situation. We started slowly. I could do very little in the beginning. But I started to feel results quickly. I had never in my life considered whether I was breathing properly or not; never even considered its importance. I had a lot to learn! I decided to see her 3 times a week, which continues to this day. Not only have I progressed physically, but she has opened up a new world of peace, calm, and outlook on this precious life we are all battling our way through! She has the kind of aura that you want to be around. Beyond yoga, she gives of herself with her unique gentile demeanor. I look forward to our meetings with excitement and an open mind, as she ends each session with a reading from various philosophers, great thinkers, etc. that can really open up your outlook and being. My daughter and I call her Miss Bliss! Even our rescue dog, who sits in on every class, emerges with calm and peace!
I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is simply the best. Yoga has become an important part of my life and I can’t imagine ever ending our work together. And, by the way, I have fully recovered from my Neurological Nightmare. Fit as a fiddle. And having Miss Bliss by my side helped my recovery immensely. If you are lucky enough to work with her, I know you will agree with me!"

"We began practicing Kundalini yoga with Nathalie almost a year ago, starting with a single session as a birthday gift. Gradually and without us realizing it, our practice has become a focal point for our week, helping us let go of the past week’s struggles and set our intention for the days to come.
We had tried many different styles of yoga in the past, but had been unable to stick with a regular practice. Some styles became workout-like obligations, while others were too slow, too rigid, or too repetitive. Kundalini offers a unique combination of intense physical practice, coupled with intense spiritual practice, and has been transformational on both a physical and a spiritual level.
Nathalie is committed to helping us push past the limitations we set upon ourselves. She holds us accountable, but is also flexible and adjusts the day’s practice to how we’re feeling physically and mentally. There is endless variety in the “sets” we do in each session, and so we never feel as though the practice is repetitive or predictable. The benefits of our practice with Nathalie have been an ongoing sense of gratitude, physical and mental balance, and general peace. She is an amazing teacher, and our journey is just beginning!" Jerra & Paddy Spence
"Nathalie is an amazing kundalini yoga teacher, with a rare, fun and beautiful energy that she shares with all her students. Every one of her classes is unique, presenting its own physical and spiritual journey. All students are made welcome from beginners through to experienced yogis. I am so grateful to have walked into her classes by chance. Her workshops are also extraordinary, and simply transformative." Katrina Sharman
"Nathalie Fino is a powerful and inspired teacher who constantly challenges both my physical body and my mind. Her classes are always an incredible opportunity to explore the science of yoga interwoven with the magic of spirit. She beautifully creates a space for yoga practice that is pragmatic and profound. With authenticity and humor, Nathalie guides her students directly into better states of being—which is why I attend her classes regularly. Hers is potent work!" Annabeth Gish
"I took my first Kundalini Yoga class with Nathalie Fino during a stressful period in my life. Immediately I was taken by her beauty she radiates inside and out. Very quickly I realized that I was in for an utterly different yoga experience than all the others I had before. So I came back to her classes regularly and every time I was more and more willing and able to go to my limits. Soon enough I also had the strength to push far beyond. It was Nathalie's enthusiasm, her uplifting spirit and her encouragement that helped me do it. Her classes can be rigorous and challenging but have the benefit that today I cope so much better and stay so much calmer in difficult situations. I feel strong and my body is in great shape again. Nathalie even inspired me to change my eating habits with fantastic results. My four times a week Kundalini Yoga class with her became a stable in my life I would not want to miss." Iris von Bentheim
"Nathalie, or "Miss Bliss" as we call her, has become one of the most important and positive forces in our lives. She guides us spiritually, physically, and mentally down avenues of self-discovery that allow us to achieve an unexpected self-empowerment, growth, and personal strength in our daily lives. Her Kundalini breathing exercises have calmed our souls and continue to bring us closer to deeper meditations. We come away from each session having literally cleared away any prior negative energy, feeling physically stronger and mentally positive! She has the most beautiful soul and I consider myself extremely lucky to have her in my life!" Alexandra Di Ceglie
“After experiencing Ms. Fino’s talents as a yoga teacher, one immediately notices how the depth of her practice goes far beyond just “instruction”; although she has excelled at her work and is licensed in 3 countries (including India), you can sense that her gift far exceeds her manners of positive yogic flow and balancing energy — in truth, she is a kind of “healer”: of mind, body, and soul. This is the quality we should search for in all individuals we interact with, but especially in those whom we are being guided from.” Thom Russo (Record producer, Engineer, Mixer)
"Nathalie came to my home in LA and introduced me to Kundalini Yoga. It has changed my life and toned me in places I didn't know I had! The breath technique is something I now use in every day life. My general stress levels are down and challenging situations seem effortless. I am a fast person by nature and ran everywhere! I never thought Yoga would suit me but it is the best thing I could have done for myself. Nathalie's patience, kindness and focus have really centred me."
Amanda Holden (Host, Actress, Judge on Britain's Got Talent)
"Every single lesson with Nathalie is taking a journey to learn how to connect to your soul and body, to be balanced and feel open to the world. Angelic Nathalie is helping to believe in who you are through yoga and to trust yourself. When you learn about your body and mind, you become more confident all around." Mika Newton, Singer
"Nathalie is dynamic, sincere, and funny. You can feel the energy when she teaches. She is a very great yogi! Her love of music and dance beautifully influences her teachings." Gurmukh Khalsa
"Nathalie is very committed to her spiritual path, and is a great yogini. She is very strong, inspiring and inspired, and I respect her very much." Tej Kaur Khalsa
"Nathalie Fino offers the kind of precision and form to yoga that commands the discipline borne of asana while continuing to preserve the spirit and beauty that she so embodies. Her articulation and passion inspire you by her very presence, for she is the love child of both kundalini and hatha yogas. I have found her to be an inspiration to yoga students of all levels, she is one of those rare and magnificent teachers who capture your heart." Dr. Christopher Walling
"Nathalie is truly the most beautiful person inside and out! Her exquisite energy radiates like no other! She is welcoming and encouraging! She is an intelligent and inspiring teacher who guides you to self-discovery through encouragement and practice, to keep an open-mind and to ALWAYS do nothing but your best. The challenge in class is to move physically and mentally toward growth and there is nothing more beautiful than strengthening your body, mind, and spirit! I am so grateful to have the opportunity to be one of Nathalie's students!" Stephanie George
"Nathalie was hired for a daily onsite yoga and meditation practice at our offices, offered to our team for 21 days as a way to promote happiness, health and wellness while reducing stress. Our requests were met with flexibility, a genuine spirit of helpfulness, support and enthusiasm for our cause and Nathalie beautifully tailored the teachings of her practice to meet our needs. The experience our team had was wonderful – their posture had improved, daily consumption of coffee decreased, body pains were lessened and that they felt more at peace. Some said their work flow was easier and those not participating in the yoga and meditation classes commented that their fellow team members were more enjoyable to work with and were more open with and appreciative of each other since starting the practice! We were just not satisfied with only 21 days and are adding Nathalie to our ongoing wellness initiatives. She is wonderful – very knowledgeable, kind, generous and we were very grateful to find her!" Lusive Decor
"Nathalie is a heart centered teacher whose classes are a dynamic blend of kriyas, expert in postures, pranayama, and deep meditation. She is not afraid to challenge her students when needed so they can reach greater depths in their practice. Walking in one way and leaving her class another way. For you to find out. Her insight and experience with Kundalini Yoga allow her to direct students with intuition so that students can achieve self-empowerment, growth, and refinement in their practice. Her classes are infused with her unique sense of healing, elevation, positive energy and personalized attention. Her classes cater to both beginners and advanced yogis." Mo Kiddo
"My boyfriend and I have been working with Nat for about 6 months now - once a week she visits our home and wakes us up to a perfectly-tailored yoga session for both of us. I love her blend of Kundalini breathing and sun salutations... After every session we leave more centered, present and ready to tackle our busy lives. Couldn't recommend Nathalie more!!!"
Margaret Laney
"Kundalini classes with Nathalie are always a journey through the elements that must be in balance for one to achieve true harmony – body, mind, and spirit. They are intense physical and emotional workouts after which you walk away feeling stronger all around and ready to face the ups and downs of life with grace and from the heart. She has high expectations but is so encouraging, while always playing great music and ensuring that the environment is prime for having the most meditative experience possible." Brynn Gelbard
"Nathalie is extraordinary. I have worked with her for nearly 2 years. Each week she seems to know what I need most. I had been using a walker for years, and within a few sessions she discovered the cause of my limp and set about teaching me yoga exercises for its cure. My walk has improved, and I love working with Nathalie. She is fun and caring and committed and forever encouraging. I feel wonderful each day we have worked together." Sarah Crabb
"I walked into my first kundalini class almost 2 years ago taught by Nathalie Fino and my life has never been the same. Immediately I felt through a combination of her instruction technique and words of wisdom she knew exactly what I needed to guide me spiritually, mentally, and physically not only through class but through everyday experiences and life. While Nathalie is encouraging, she promotes happiness, integrity, love, truth and the list goes on... I can honestly say after experiencing her sessions you will walk away feeling a new strength in your body and positive attitude, you'll wonder why it took so long to experience something like Nathalie- almost like a jump start to your life. Some ask themselves WWJD, I ask WWND (What Would Nathalie Do). If you want anything great, Nathalie's a great start. She is truly an inspiration." Jackie Baliton
"Nathalie's thoughtfulness behind the careful selection in the variety of asanas, her choice of music to support the same and her generosity of spirit as a teacher make every session flow with greater ease. The intonation of her voice during the explanation on the benefits of each asana brings a calming energy that acts as a cushion between mind and spirit throughout the one hour session. After two months under her unique guidance I have felt an enormous shift in my being that compares to nothing else I've ever felt before. My stamina and well being throughout have greatly improved. Nathalie's way of teaching has inspired me to continue on the Kundalini Yoga path." Karen B.
"While it is the yoga that teaches it is always a gift to have a teacher who practices what she teaches. Nathalie certainly is such a person. Her special gift is to hold the space while she challenges her class to extend beyond their present limits or to practice breaking the posture and keeping the intention until they can resume the exercise, the latter after all being more like life practice in the end; either way, she offers an experience to the yoga practitioner that is unique and yet very much a part of the great chain of teachers. I cannot recommend her more highly as a yoga teacher." Charan Singh
"I've always been a committed student of kundalini and until I found Nathalies classes, I had to separate my meditation time and my real workout time as many kundalini classes simply don't challenge me enough physically. With her classes I get a real workout, similar to going to my trainer. As an executive with a busy calendar, this has been a significant way for me to maximize my time and get the wonderful meditative benefits while really working up a sweat. It's a physical and mental burn to the tune of great music, leaving me feeling completely at peace with a smile on my face!" Gina, film producer
"Nathalie calls from the heart and refreshes the soul with her insight. She simply oozes strength and inspires you to make the most of your being. Her Kundalini enhances the love that I have for myself and makes me understand my body’s function. If you need a lovely kick the ass to get where you need to be, then Nathalie is perfect in every way. I love her. Sat Nam!"
