Natalie Apel

Natalie was born in Israel and raised in South Florida. She has a love for all things Yoga, dance, and being outdoors. Always embracing all variations of exercise. She was a classical ballet dancer from the age of 5, later on moving into jazz and acro and then competitive dance where she flourished. In college she danced at The Dance Complex in Cambridge, MA under the instruction of Liz Lapuh. Attending master classes and workshops furthering her passion for dance. Following a move and a major career shift, she found her way unassumingly into the studio one day and fell in love with Yoga. Immediately finding her comfort and her new “home”.  After three years of consistent daily practice, she completed RYT200 training at Yoga Factory, under the guidance of Jenna Bey & Paula Viedma. Natalie incorporates Yoga and meditation into all aspects of her life, even practicing with her husband and three children. Her twin daughters and son practice teaching their own yoga classes, to their peers at home and at school. She hopes to share her fitness journey and her love for Yoga with all her students. As a guiding philosophy for herself and her students Natalie believes that, in order to reach your full potential on and off the mat, you must explore your edge of discomfort.
