Living Yoga Immersion for Women:

Yoga & Ayurveda in Daily Life

Course Fees: $169 CAD

Do you love your yoga practice but want more support and inspiration on how to bring your yoga into your everyday life?

Are you curious about Ayurveda and ready to learn some practical tools to support your health and wellness?

Would you like to learn simple ways to help you align with natures rhythms so that you can access greater energy throughout the year?

The Living Yoga Immersion is a program that I have designed to support women in discovering how to bring the wisdom of Yoga & Ayurveda into their daily lives so that they can optimize their own health, as well as the health of their families or communities. This program is rooted in the concept of sadhana, or daily self care practices, that are simple to do and that will nourish you on all levels of your being. I believe that in order to truly live your yoga you must be able to weave it into the fabric of your everyday experience, and this program is where I share the tools and the practices that have allowed me to do that for myself, and which I have shared with many students over the years to support them in doing the same.

  • How Does It Work?

    This 15-week program will be delivered through a series of pre-recorded lessons, all of which can be downloaded so you can review them at a later date, or watch at your own convenience.

TESTIMONIALS

“The Living Yoga Immersion course is so informative, practical and insightful. Natalie has structured the materials so thoughtfully and all the handouts and recipes are amazing! I would recommend this course to anyone looking to bring a greater quality of self-care and awareness into their lives, their yoga and their health practices.”

“The Living Yoga Immersion Course with Natalie Rousseau was truly life changing. I was struggling with several health issues and chronic stress before starting the course. Over the past 12 weeks I have been able to find beautiful ways to nourish and care for myself. I look forward to the simple new habits that I have created through this course that enrich my life.”

“This course clarified a whole world of questions I had about Ayurveda. There were a lot of ‘ah-ha’ moments as I listened to the weekly audio files followed with inspiration abound. Natalie is very thorough and articulate in the way she presents material. Not once did I feel overwhelmed with information, although she shared an incredible amount of knowledge with us through this course! It’s astonishing how much stronger my immune system has become just by making seasonal food choices & how much pleasure I’m getting from the simple self care practices I’ve learned from Natalie and incorporated into my daily life. I feel radiantly healthy and whole and much more capable of “handling” what life throws my way!”

“I would highly recommend taking this course. It delivered far more than I imagined and has helped me to integrate so many positive changes into my life so seamlessly. Natalie shares a wealth of information and content in a style that is accessible to all whether new to these subjects or already practicing and teaching them. Thank you Natalie!”

“This course offered more than I could have ever imagined. Information was presented in an interesting manner, application of ideas/strategies for self care are realistic and the format of the class allows for different learning styles (audio lecture, handouts and Facebook forum). One of the best courses I have ever taken. I will definitely be seeking out more courses taught by this incredibly wise, authentic and articulate woman. Thank you.”

“This course was amazing! Each week I felt more and more inspired to take my self care to the next level. Natalie is a great teacher, super knowledgable and supportive! Thank you.” 

“This course is truly one of a kind. Natalie tailors each topic in such way, that students assimilate the content in a very practical way. As an international student whose english is her second language, I can say everything was clearly explained. The examples and ways to apply the content were simple and yet very informative. Through each topic you can perceive Natalie’s passion for Ayurveda. It truly inspires you! Thank you Natalie so much for all the effort and care you put into your course… it is like a big and healing hug!!”

“I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in learning more about their own body. My biggest take away’s from this course were how intertwined we are with Nature, the importance of self care, and how we really can use food and simple practices to heal our body, mind and soul.”

“As a new student to Ayurveda, I thoroughly enjoyed the information in this course. Natalie breaks down the course so it does not feel overwhelming, she actually makes the learning very supported, clear, understandable and fun. I have learned so many new ways to look after my own health & the health of my family. I view this course as a gift to yourself and your loved ones. This course has reignited the fire in me to truly take care of my body, mind & spirit.”

“Natalie is a thoughtful and comprehensive teacher. She has a bounty of wisdom to share and it is obvious she takes great care in putting content together for her students as well as creating a supportive and private environment for students to share and learn. I was very impressed with the content of her Yoga For Life course. Thank you Natalie! “

“This course inspired me to make real change in my life. Natalie explains the concepts of Ayurveda in a way that is easy to understand and to implement in your daily life, starting with very simple steps like eating meals at regular times and shifting your habits gradually over time. I have taken Ayurveda courses in the past and was left feeling that the changes were too extreme to incorporate into my life. The information and lifestyle changes in this course were very accessible and manageable for the average person. I am now getting more sleep and exercise and eating better thanks to this program.”

“Natalie Rousseau’s Yoga For Life course challenged and engaged me throughout the weekly seminars. She provides a wealth of information in a captivating and clear manner while also blending it with her personal humour and insights. Her use of different technologies helps students stay connected with her and other classmates. You won’t be disappointed — Natalie Rousseau brings everything to the table and if you show up, there is more than you can imagine to gain. The largest thing that I will bring away from the course will be her demonstration that the largest changes in our lives are made through the use of continuous, small changes. I am thankful that I took this course, and would recommend it and plan to repeat it again.”

“At the age of 61, after struggling with arthritis and its companion, depression, for 36 years, I had been told over and over again that there was not much to be done. Take the pills and resign yourself to on-going, relentless joint damage! Arthritis is hereditary! Change your lifestyle was always the message: how to do that was never clear. Natalie has sequenced this mystery to unfold gently and most comprehensively, in this course. I have learned new insights and techniques to ensure I do not go gently into that night and live an enjoyable, fuller life. The prescription meds for pain and inflammation are now kept way at the back of the medicine cabinet!”

“I often struggle with poor, slow digestion and just learning about what to eat and when to eat it has completely shifted how I feel. After just a few months, I feel more in tune with what my body needs as opposed to what it wants.”
