Natalie Gankiewicz
Natalie began to practice yoga consistently in 2020 as a way to combat the physical and mental fatigue of working as a nurse in the Covid intensive care unit. Her overall ten years experience as a bedside critical-care nurse led to a washed-out version of herself and yoga reignited her spark that she had let burn out. She often says that she didn’t find yoga, but rather, yoga found her.
In her journey back home to herself, yoga has become the true north that paved the way for cultivating what had been lost— the ability to consciously evolve, build meaningful connections, release expectations and find freedom off the mat as often as she is on it. And in the spirit of lightness, yoga also brought her to her most important role, being a mother (if you know, you know.)
Natalie earned her 200-hour yoga teacher certification under Rebecca Sirman Yoga and Yogavibez University in June 2024. You can often find her when she is not practicing yoga chasing her toddler around, boating or beaching with a good book in hand.
