I lucked into meeting Natalie as one of the best massage therapists I have had, and quickly inquired about yoga. I am a devout student of pilates, but felt I could really benefit from yoga. I was nervous about yoga because I previously injured myself in a yoga class. Now, I have the delicious experience of working with Natalie one-on-one each week, and it’s a piece of decadence that I look forward to every week. Natalie is incredibly intuitive and her emotional intelligence is so high. She communicates the poses along with their benefits in a way that allows you to gradually get stronger and stronger, both mentally and physically, all while getting to reap the benefits of yoga in this way that sneaks up in you for you to notice in your daily life. Natalie is incredibly patient, can dial up a yoga session and dial it down to somehow perfectly meet exactly what you need even if you don’t think you need it! And that is quite a gift. I’m beyond grateful for Natalie who has enhanced my body, mind and spirit with her incredible skills.

When I was referred to Natalie McGreal it was mainly for my son Gabriel to meet with her for his health ailments, but when she invited me to stay with him during the session that completely made me feel at ease! That lead to me being touched physically, spiritually and mentally. It improved my life in such a drastic way I could not wait for us to see Natalie again! Her soothing voice, her positive words of encouragement and her listening to your concerns are just some of the amazing attributes Natalie has to offer. She is not only our yoga instructor, but a part of our family!
~Tanya L. Hader When I first met Natalie I was immediately encouraged to come again. Her soothing voice, and easy yet exercising movements charmed me. I would say she is a great yoga instructor, and would refer her to anyone. ~Gabriel S. Hader |
Natalie has an incredible ability to intuit the needs of her students, which make each class, regardless of size, feel like it was prepared just for you. Her classes are so well paced and begin with a thoughtful and timely meditation. And Natalie’s calming energy and angelic voice just make the practice that much sweeter. Since working with Natalie I've become much more engaged with my yoga practice and I credit this to her example and quiet encouragement.

Friendly and Knowledgable - my favorite yoga teacher in Chicago. Or anywhere for that matter. Natalie creates a welcoming sanctuary of an environment whether it's a class at Tula, Moksha or as a massage therapist. As a student in Natalie's class, I feel like she is aware of how I'm doing in the class, when I need adjustments, encouragement, etc. Her guidance during the class is calm, peaceful and helpful, and I always leave feeling better than when I arrived. Although I've done yoga for years, I consider myself at a beginner's level, and Natalie ensures that I'm striving to improve while also honoring the space that I'm in, that day.

Natalie is one of a kind. She combines movement, breath and spirituality into every class. Beyond asana, cultivating self-love and gratitude are her specialties. She is able to guide me to a very happy place within myself. I highly recommend her group classes / private sessions.
