Natalie Backman

Devoted to the Divine Mother, Natalie shares what she knows of the wisdom of the sages as an unveiling of her heart. Rooted in the Himalayan Tradition, Natalie guides informed and embodied experiences of yoga asana, pranayama, yoga nidra, Vishoka Meditation, and Yoga Sutra based practices of contemplation and self-inquiry – all with the aim of generating true transformation culminating in ultimate freedom and lasting fulfillment. She also offers mentorship to those craving a personalized deepening in their practice and teaching. Based in California, most of Natalie’s offerings are now happening live, virtually, to an international community of seekers and practitioners. Held in grace, Natalie endeavors to live her life as an integrated offering to the Divine. Jai Maa!

"Vishoka has transformed my experience of meditation from one of structured discipline to one of inspired, heart deep devotion. The progression of techniques gently guides you from an external orientation to one of joyful internal reunion. I particularly enjoy embracing effortlessness as the key to the most profound aspects of the experience unfolding."
