OG YOGA INSTRUCTORS > MANDY NATSUHARA
Mandy Natsuhara
Gratefully, Yoga has transformed my life. I was working with terminally ill cancer patients, when I began to struggle with my own spirituality. It was then that I found yoga which brought about the beginning of my spiritual journey. Since then, Yoga has allowed me to experience life-changing healing and peace that I didn't know was possible. As a 200 hour registered yoga teacher, I am passionate about offering space for people to come back to themselves, connect with their body and breath, and grow through yoga. I value the lessons yoga teaches us on and off the mat. Recently, I completed OG Yoga's 30-hour Yoga Alliance accredited workshop titled, "Overcoming Trauma Through Yoga." I enjoy teaching various styles of yoga, but currently resonate the most with teaching Meditation and Gentle Yoga.
Words I live by…
You have everything you need within you. You are your answer.
What inspires me…
People who overcome adversity and manifest their dreams into reality. And always, Mother Ocean.
Outside of the studio…
At the beach practicing yoga and appreciating Mother Ocean or at a local coffee shop sipping on some of the best coffee San Diego has to offer.
About my class called Yoga for a Healing Heart…
This class is a place where people with a grieving heart can come together and feel you are not alone. You may have lost your special person due to death, divorce, break-up, etc. the class starts with visualization, meditation, and breath work. Then, move on to gentle yoga poses. All levels are welcome. You will not be asked to discuss your broken heart. We will all understand that you are in the class to heal your heart.
