Natalie was introduced to yoga through rock climbing in 2008. (Yes, she lives in Florida. No, there are not any rocks to climb in Florida.) She was immediately attracted to the physical practice of yoga, but she quickly became even more fascinated by its calming effects on the mind, and the body-mind connection practicing yoga facilitates.  She is a registered yoga instructor through Yoga Alliance, and has trained with Melissa Montilla at Sanctuary Yoga in Gainesville, Florida, and with Maty Ezraty through Yoga Works.  Natalie studied English and Film and Media Studies at the University of Florida, and attended Florida School of Massage two years later. She is now a practicing Licensed Massage Therapist with a handful of half-made experimental films. She procrastinates completing these films by traveling, climbing, surfing, reading, writing and indulging in a well-balanced libation or cup of joe – on occasion she is able to do most of these things at the same time.
