Natalie Mendes

Founder of Kaulika Yoga & Pilates and registered yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance (E-RYT 200).

Natalie started her yoga journey 10 years ago and her love for yoga has evolved and grown along with her practice. Admittedly, she came to yoga with fitness goals in mind but soon took classes at 5 Elements Yoga & Pilates, and fell in love with the creative exploration of the Self that yoga provides. Currently, she views yoga as a tool for your life and continually searches for ways to bring her practice into her life, and life into her practice.

Natalie is a Registered Teacher at Kaulika Yoga & Pilates, and feels strongly that teaching is a way to connect with the community and share her joy and love for the practice. She sequences with intention and brings an element of play and exploration to her classes. Ultimately, her primary goal for her classes is to create a safe space for students to try new things and explore themselves.

She is so incredibly thankful to the teachers in her life for their love and guidance on and off the mat. And is equally grateful to her students for the energy they bring to the studio every time they practice. As a teacher, it brings her such joy to share in their yoga journey, and support them in any way she can.
