About this episode

In this episode, I’ve had the honor to interview one of my first teachers: Natalie Kreidieh. Nat is the founder of the Beit Nat Yoga Studio in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. She is a certified Yoga Instructor with accreditations in Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Yin, Prenatal and Kids yoga. Nat’s dharma (life purpose) is to help people experience the incredible potential of the human body, mind and spirit.

This episode touches upon finding our purpose through difficulties, adapting our yoga practice to the different seasons of our bodies, karmic lessons, childhood trauma and so much more. Natalie shares with us how she found her purpose through healing a traumatic childhood experience. Together, we both dive deep into what it means to experience darkness and how the healing arts such as reiki and yoga can help us alleviate suffering and release trauma. Everything in life can be seen as a karmic lesson, including tougher experiences, all leading us towards our spiritual developments and the light. They can all be looked at blessings in disguise when we remember that there is a divine intelligence orchestrating everything.
