When I stepped into a meditation class in 1993, I had no idea that physical yoga practice was the start point. I couldn’t touch my toes, I felt like a lump of concrete, and I shook like a leaf in most of the poses. The least likely to become a yoga teacher, in 2005 I was asked to fill in for a teacher and I opened my first studio in 2006. Now I teach for a local studio here in Napier, and run workshops. Offering yoga at Hearth and Soul is about one-to-one teaching, or small groups who might want to practice together. Adding yoga to create a package is a little like creating a retreat for yourself

 One hour session: $95

Custom packages available

I'm available out and about for retreats, corporate gigs and anywhere you think yoga might add something.

You can check out the style of my teaching over on YouTube @natashamathis2239.

I also teach regular classes over at hellosunshinestudio.nz. There is a maximum of 10 students per class and Amy runs a beautiful studio in Ahuriri Napier. 

We are collaborating in 2026 (and every second year after that) to run Taking Yoga Deeper - my signature programme that allows people to deepen their practice, learn the philosophy behind yoga, and take the path to being a teacher if they wish (but that isn't most people's reason for doing the course). Run over 13 weekends across the year, each weekend is like a mini-retreat with delicious food, conversations and practice. In between these weekends there are weekly emails, video content and more.
