Natalie Asatryan

Natalie Asatryan is the youngest certified female yoga teacher in America at 13 years old. She proves there is no age limit for pursuing your dreams and using your gifts to make the world a better place.

Natalie developed a passion for yoga at the young age of 5, and within a few years of studying yoga, she knew she had to share it with others. At only 9, Natalie and her mom set out to find a program that would help make her dream of teaching yoga a reality; however, finding a program that would accept her at such a young age was challenging. After searching for 3 years, Natalie found a yoga school and completed a rigorous 200-hour curriculum with several adults. At only 12 years old, Natalie became the youngest female yoga instructor in America and is also a member of Yoga Alliance.

Multi-talented and incredibly articulate, Natalie combines her creative passions to inspire a new paradigm of intellectually active, spiritual children and teenagers. She's using the power of yoga and mindfulness to create positive change in the world. Natalie loves to give back to impoverished communities.

She teaches donation-based yoga classes throughout the country, and all of the proceeds from her classes go to various charities. Within just over a year of teaching yoga, Natalie has raised thousands of dollars to support the Red Cross and the Unstoppable Foundation.

Through her partnership with the Unstoppable Foundation, Natalie has helped build a school in Kenya and get access to education, nutritious food, clean water, sanitation and healthcare. Natalie was recently awarded a Global Youth Award by Round Table Global for Education Innovation – Demonstration of Leadership for her philanthropic work. Natalie is passionate about empowering girls to follow their dreams and wants to inspire others to find their passions to help the world.
