Beginner's Expert: Natasha Rizopoulos

Beginner's Expert and Ashtanga teacher Natasha Rizopoulos coaches students on all aspects of a beginning practice.

 

Ashtanga yoga teacher Natasha Rizopoulos is the latest and greatest addition to our team of experts here at YogaJournal.com. The star of our Step-by-Step video series, Natasha teaches at Yoga Works in Santa Monica, California and has studied with K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India.

Natasha loves teaching beginning students for the enthusiasm and earnestness they bring to class. "We all need to try and incorporate that early eagerness and receptivity to instruction into our practice, no matter how experienced we become," she says. "It's that 'beginner's mind' that allows us to learn and grow."

I ordered your 3 set dvd through a Aveda reward credit and fell in love with yoga! I subscribed to Yoga Journal and Im going to Yogapalooza here in Austin, Tx. You have been inspiring and intrigued me to be a better at my practice! Thanks so much for being such a great role model and marketing your passion and instruction! :)MicheleThelen

Hi Natasha,
You will be giving two workshops in our area (Andover) on Sept. 27 and Oct 25. Would you be interested in doing an hour class for www.theOMroom.com? Although we don't have much money there is a little magic going on here. Please check out the website to get an idea of what we are all about.
Thank you for your time.

The "obvious" question that everyone should be asking is, "What is Yoga?" Real Yoga is Hinduism--this is fact. What then is all this other "stuff" in the name of "yoga?" Why be so callous and deceptive?
