An Introduction to Yoga Philosophy
With Natalie & Jimena
Holistic Heaven, Hellingly
A Weekend to Deepen Your Practice & Reconnect
Step beyond the mat and into the heart of yoga.
This immersive weekend is an invitation to explore what yoga truly is not just as a physical practice, but as a philosophy for living. Together, we’ll gently guide you through ancient teachings and show you how they can be applied in a practical, meaningful way to modern life.
Whether you’re new to yoga philosophy or looking to deepen your understanding, this workshop offers a warm, supportive space to explore, reflect, and grow.
What You’ll Experience
Over the course of the weekend, you’ll be guided through:
Foundations of yoga philosophy and its relevance today
Exploration of the 8 limbs of yoga
Gentle asana (movement) and pranayama (breathwork)
Introduction to meditation and mindful awareness
Practical tools for nervous system regulation
Reflection exercises to help integrate learning into daily life
Space for sharing, connection, and personal insight
This is not about perfection or performance it’s about curiosity, presence, and coming home to yourself.
Return to the Heart of Yoga

Step beyond the mat and into the heart of yoga.
Your Teachers
Natalie
Natalie Grace is a yoga teacher, retreat facilitator, and co-founder of yoga teacher trainings alongside Sarah Alice. Raised in Sussex, her deep rooted love for nature has been the foundation of her personal practice and teaching from the very beginning. This connection to the natural world continues to shape the way she holds space, guiding her classes, retreats, and the natural environments she chooses to teach in.
Natalie’s teaching is rooted in the belief that yoga is not something we simply practise on the mat, but a way of living that we carry into everyday life. She is especially passionate about yoga philosophy and how these ancient teachings can be woven into modern life to cultivate greater freedom, awareness, and connection. For Natalie, yoga is a daily practice of coming back to ourselves learning to move with more presence, kindness, and intention through all seasons of life.
Jimena
Five years ago, Jimena stepped onto a yoga mat searching for stillness and found something far greater: a refuge, a discipline, and a lifelong path of transformation. Drawn from an early age to philosophy and psychology, she discovered in yoga a living practice where ancient wisdom meets inner inquiry. What began as curiosity soon evolved into a devoted journey of self study, awareness, and spiritual growth.
Through years of committed practice, Jimena deepened her understanding of Hindu philosophy and embraced the teachings not only intellectually, but through lived experience.
Her path has led her through profound explorations of personal development and consciousness, culminating in her qualification as a Yoga Teacher in India in November 2025.
As the author of A Normal Yogi, Jimena is passionate about sharing her experiences and insights with honesty and humility. She believes true growth comes not from theory alone, but from the courage to “walk the walk” every day.
Alongside her work in yoga, Jimena is a dedicated Critical Care Sister whose compassionate nature shines through her deep care for people and animals alike, especially her two beloved cats, who remain constant companions on her journey.
