Natasha King

Yoga Teacher / Wellbeing Mentor

A journey of healing, trust, self-love, practice & BEING.

A decade ago, Natasha lived a very different life, a single parent juggling a portfolio career that spanned travel agency, retail, hospitality, glamping, the surf industry and more. With a constant need to make others proud and nagging sense of inadequacy, plagued with eczema, asthma and with a fragile immune system, while outwardly confident, her self-esteem lay in tatters and eventually something had to give.

January 2014 along came viral encephalitis and BOOM, CHANGE!

A forced stop! Unable to speak coherently with compromised neural pathways, Natasha spent five months off work, undergoing speech therapy and finding solace in doing nothing. An inner voice of guidance immerged: YOGA, YOGA, YOGA

Introduced to yoga in 1999 she knew within the power of this healing practice.

In February 2016 Natasha was finally recovered enough to embark on a 200hours Yoga with Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy immersive training in Thailand. YOGA & TRAVEL – A healing prescription and kick start to an unexpected career!

Yoga released old ideas of who she was & what she should be, gave an understanding of presence and a desire to heal & learn and consequently unveiled an inner KNOWING, VIBRANCY & PEACE.

A chance workshop at a retreat led her to discover TRE (Trauma Release Exercises), patterns of trauma held within unravelled and stubborn insomnia and anxiety abated, two years later she qualified as a Certified TRE Provider.

With parenting a teen, work, weekly yoga classes & TRE workshops, her health tittered on the edge once again and a Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra training (2018) offered solace. The gentle yet powerful nurturance of Yin Yoga and deep meditative state of Yoga Nidra gave new skills and a reminder of how far she had come and how much she could lose if she continued to fall back on old life patterns.

2020 and trip to Thailand: 100hours Trauma Informed Yoga training, a four- day walking meditation, re-birthing sessions, ecstatic dance, massage and beach time and a sudden departure and arrival home straight into LOCKDOWN!

Online classes with local & international clients provided a bank account saving income stream in challenging times, the necessity irradicated a strong previous reticence to work online. 2021 brought the opportunity to embark on a six month, 300hour Traditional Tantric Hatha Yoga training offered by The Practice Bali online for the first time- cue a DEEP delve inwards, personal and professional advancement and a re-kindled, updated personal daily practice.

Eight years, eleven courses, hours of study, self -reflection, 2000 hours + teaching, and continued commitment to personal practice have spurred exponential growth in self-esteem, authenticity, inner knowing, positivity, optimism & TRUST. Accelerating her spiritual awakening & cultivating a strong inner desire to encourage others to heal.

An ongoing commitment to health, vitality and longevity has been supported by a teetotal lifestyle alongside a diet limited by allergies and intolerances and choice to be predominantly plant based. Regular periods fasting offer the body extra support especially if an unexpected eczema flare up comes along.

Currently Natasha offers local community yoga classes and TRE workshops in Devon UK, alongside teaching at world renowned Yeotown Detox Retreat since 2018 and a local Hotel Spa where the opportunity to offer multi sessions weekly has seen progression & transformation in members & guests alike. Retreats and the growth offered to participants is a passion and Natasha has taught freelance internationally and organises and co-hosts her own retreats.

Her 1:1 Transformation Mentoring sessions offer clients the opportunity to have a personalized programme of sessions curated for them using the myriad of techniques Natasha has honed over the years, delivered with intuitive knowing, nurturance and care. 1:1 Single sessions / Packages / Mentoring Programmes available.

2024 A year of change – currently Natasha is downsizing her personal possessions for storage, embarking on a journey of discovery whilst planning on working remotely and seeking her next home.

Unapologetically herself, proud of no longer trying to make others proud, living differently, authentically, creatively, guided and driven from an inner knowing that she knows what to do, how to be and to live as she feels.

PERSONAL EVOLUTION IS A RIGHT. DON’T HIDE YOURSELF. STEP INTO WHO YOU TRULY ARE AND THRIVE.
