Training Director • Manhattan Beach + Santa Barbara
Justin is a dedicated yoga instructor with over 10 years of teaching experience. After encountering severe anxiety, he discovered yoga 23 years ago, and it became his sanctuary.
His journey led him to become an E-RYT 500 certified teacher, having completed his initial 200 and 300-hour trainings with Three Sisters Yoga in NYC. He also holds a 200-hour certification as a Katonah Yoga teacher and has delved deeper with over 2400 advanced training hours in diverse modalities like yin yoga, restorative yoga, traditional Chinese medicine, and yoga for spinal health.

Natalie Sampila (E-RYT 500)
Lead Teacher • Santa Barbara
Natalie was introduced to Yoga and meditation as a young girl, but it wasn’t until she moved to Santa Barbara in the late 90’s that Yoga became an essential part of her life. Practicing Yoga at a local studio became her saving grace. After only a few months of taking classes she was hooked by the healing of yoga, and felt the need to learn as much as she could.
In 1998, Natalie took her first 200hr training with Eric Shcifman. At this point she had no intention of teaching, she just felt the need to immerse herself in the beauty of all that was yoga. The Universe, however, had other plans., Yoga and teaching become not only her career but a way of living she continues to share with students, with love and passion daily.
Natalie works to teach each student to embrace their light within, and see their way through the dark. The intention she takes into all she teaches is based in Ayurveda.
“Through the practice of Ayurveda, we relearn to nurture our nature. The knowledge and intuition we are all born with is clouded by the veils of life, with commitment to practicing yoga we can pull those veils back and live our truth”
Her deepest joy is to practice, play and grow together with her students.
