Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast Episode #36 – Yoga is a Playground – Yoga in Slovenia with Nataša Rhind-Tutt 

Welcome to Episode #36 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast! This week, I welcome Nataša Rhind-Tutt onto the show. She is a yoga teacher from Slovenia who owns a Nataraja Yoga Studio in Ljubljana and is the founder of the summer yoga festival in Ljubljana.

My conversation with Nataša Rhind-Tutt, a yoga teacher from Slovenia, was so fascinating as we took discussed different types of yoga— from Forrest Yoga to Rocket Yoga and how passion, focus, and discipline are the main ingredients in a yoga practice. Her desire and decision to follow her dharma and to protect her freedom is truly inspiring.

If you’re looking to tune into a podcast episode that is all about honoring your inner voice and setting aside self-doubt to live in alignment with your dharma then this is the conversation for you.

Tell me more about Nataša Rhind-Tutt

Nataša Rhind-Tutt is the founder and owner of the Nataraja Yoga Studio in Ljubljana. She has been teaching yoga since 2007 and before that was a professional dancer at the Kazina

Dance School and the Slovenian Dance Project. Movement has been a part of her life from the beginning and, after the end of her dance career, yoga, with its highly-evolved philosophy and its holistic approach to life and teachings, seemed the next logical step on her life path. Nataša’s classes are mostly in the dynamic style, combining elements from different yoga disciplines, Pilates, and dance, with fundamental techniques in massage, self-massage, and work in pairs. Deep breathing techniques, mastering of asanas, concentration and meditation often change the lives of those who attend her classes and give them greater insight into themselves, their bodies, and their desires.

What to expect in the Yoga In Slovenia episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast

Nataša was first introduced to yoga at a dance summer camp, when the camp brought a yoga teacher from India to the camp and she was drawn to the practice, but kept falling asleep during the practice. Although she felt embarrassed, she stayed curious about the practice for years. When she quit dancing she knew she still needed movement in her life. 

Although, Nataša says that when she first came to yoga she felt like an outcast. She had self-doubt and wasn’t sure if she was teaching yoga the way she should be teaching it. Through time and reflection, she came to realize that it doesn’t matter what style of yoga you’re teaching at all— all that matters is that you teach people how to take care of themselves, breathe, and connect with their bodies.

Rocket yoga is derived from Ashtanga Yoga, though there is more liberty to create a class around certain rules. Very demanding style of yoga, that doesn’t follow the set sequence. Forrest yoga was founded by Ana T. Forrest and is a ceremonial yoga practice focused on transformation.

Natasa also opened up about how she felt like her mother’s bipolar disorder and her mother’s words around “not being able” or “not being allowed” to do things, influenced Natasa’s decision and how she followed her path to yoga. Also, her mother’s ideas made her very strong about listening to her own inner voice and protecting her own freedom.

After we concluded our interview, Natasa sent me a note that she wanted to add to the episode— “Yoga brought peace, while at the same time challenges in my life, but mainly it brought me an opportunity to help people.  As I couldn’t help my mum to get better from her illness, I think I found some comfort by helping others to feel good about their bodies and their state of mind. Through my classes, I want them to be inspiring, with good music and fun sequences so when people leave my studio they are happy about their progress and more relaxed then when they stepped in. I always let them know that they are perfect as they are, but at the same time that it is never too late for a change.”

For the skimmers – What’s in the yoga in Slovenia episode?

• Coming to yoga feeling like an outcast
• What is Rocket yoga and Forrest yoga?
• Yoga is a playground
• Everything we do with passion and focus is what yoga is teaching us
• Setting aside self-doubt and living in alignment with your dharma
• Founding a yoga festival in the middle of the pandemic

Favorite Quote From Nataša Rhind-Tutt

“Find something that you love and do with passion and focus on that— and you’re already practicing yoga. In yoga we are just talking loud about things that we can also achieve in other things. If you’re a painter or a cook and you do that with passion, then that is an active meditation.”

Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast Episode #36 – Yoga is a Playground – Yoga in Slovenia with Nataša Rhind-Tutt 

[00:00:00] Lily Allen-Duenas: Namaste family. Welcome back to the Wild Yoga Tribe podcast. Today I’m joined by Nataša Rhind-Tutt, a yoga teacher from Slovenia.

[00:00:11] She’s the founder of Nataraja yoga studio in Ljubljana. And she’s been teaching yoga since 2007. And before that she was a professional dancer and a makeup artist. She’s also the founder of the summer yoga festival in Slovenia and has served as the Nike ambassador for yoga in Slovenia as well, which I think is really interesting.

[00:00:35] She has over 15 certifications in yoga and. And I’m so excited to dive into her story with you all today. So please join me in welcoming Nataša onto the show. Thank you so much for being here.

[00:00:49] Natasa Rhind-Tutt: Hi, Lily is really nice to be with you. I’m looking forward to this conversation. 

[00:00:54] Lily Allen-Duenas: Thank you. So Natasha, why don’t we start off just with me asking and us discussing how yoga first came into your life and what has that journey been like for you?

How did yoga first come into your life and what has that journey been like for you? 

[00:01:07] Natasa Rhind-Tutt: I found out about yoga at one off dance summer camps. They were really good at trying to bring us different activities apart from dance itself so at past summer camps, we could try different activities like drummings afro-dances and stuff like that.

[00:01:28] And one year they brought a yoga teacher from India and I was really enthusiastic about trying everything. I signed up for his classes, to my shame I fell asleep every time I went to his class. And after three days I was so ashamed.

[00:01:48] I was avoiding this teacher, but I don’t know what brought me to buy the first book about yoga that I could find. And started to practice [00:02:00] yoga on my own, and I practiced it on my own for many years when I stopped my dancing career. I realized that without any physical activities I can’t go on.

[00:02:13] So I actually started to search, what else could I do in my life to have moments that I could to have sports that I could enjoy. I returned to yoga. And I discovered this whole new world, not only of half classical yoga, but hot yoga, Rocket Yoga. And instantly I fell in love with it.

[00:02:37] Lily Allen-Duenas: Interesting. So I love that your dance summer camp brought in a yoga teacher from India. That seems like a very big deal, to bring a yoga teacher all the way from India. Wow.

[00:02:48] Natasa Rhind-Tutt: It was because that was about 30 years ago when I’m not sure there was any yoga in Slovenia yet. So even when I started [00:03:00] to discover yoga, which was around 2007, seriously to discover in Slovenia, there was one teacher who had dynamic yoga and everybody did that teacher training with that teacher.

[00:03:18] So there was no other teacher that I would be aware of in Slovenia about 15, 18 years ago. 

[00:03:25] Lily Allen-Duenas: Wow. You have a very big deal. Indeed, then. And I, and you just mentioned rocket yoga. I think that might be something that our listeners may have never heard of. I know when I was reviewing all the certifications you have, like in Forrest Yoga and Rocket yoga, it’s some things I’ve never heard of. Could you tell our listeners more about those styles?

What Is Rocket Yoga?

[00:03:46] Natasa Rhind-Tutt: Yeah, I don’t have a certificate in Rocket Yoga yet. I just had a teacher in my studio who taught Rocket Yoga. So she basically taught me how to do it, but that’s one certificate I’m still craving to do. I actually met Rocket Yoga in London.

[00:04:04] I’m married to an English guy. And when I go to London, I try to go to many yoga studios to meet new teachers that I could invite to my studio. And so I found out about Rocket Yoga and it’s a great style. It’s actually the modern standard. It does derive from Ashtanga yoga, but it has more inversions.

[00:04:30] And you have more liberties to create a class around, around certain rules that are given to you in the Rocket. It’s a very demanding style, funky with music but it actually follows Ashtanga yoga. 

[00:04:46] Lily Allen-Duenas: So it’s not the set sequence from Ashtanga.

[00:04:48] Natasa Rhind-Tutt: No, but there are sections that you need to follow, but within those sections you can change and add asanas or take them [00:05:00] away. 

What Is Forrest Yoga?

[00:05:00] Lily Allen-Duenas: Wow. Okay. And what about Forrest Yoga?

[00:05:03] Natasa Rhind-Tutt: Yeah. Okay. These, I think, have changed my perspective on yoga?

[00:05:08] I did a Forrest inspired yoga certificate in October 2021 with Ana Forrest. The London studio Indaba yoga. As posted, we are going to host Ana Forrest and there are only, I don’t know, 18 spaces. Left to live with Ana Forrest because of COVID. And immediately when I saw it, I applied and was thinking, oh my gosh, this is in London. All the spots are for sure taken. While I got a spot. And then I was so depressed when they said that Ana is not coming to London because of COVID and everything is going to be online.

[00:05:52] And I really wanted to meet a real person, but because of Ana’s age, America is where America [00:06:00] is. I thought, oh it doesn’t matter. I’m going to do it online. And I did her teacher’s training with the hours of delay. So when she started in the morning, eight o’clock in America, 5:00 PM in Slovenia.

[00:06:15] So every day I’ve been doing the teacher’s training between 5:00 PM until 3:00 AM in the morning, but I loved it. I loved every minute of it. Ana Forrest is one of the craziest people in the yoga world that I’ve ever met. And I had a great journey with her. 

[00:06:34] Lily Allen-Duenas: Wow. 3:00 AM. Oh, you were very brave to sign on for that, to know that you’ll be okay, I’ll start it at 5:00 PM and I have to stay all the way awake doing yoga and doing philosophy and history and Pentium. I’m sure all the other elements of yoga are incorporated, but it seems so brave of Nataša to sign up for something that goes all the way until 3:00 AM.

[00:06:57] Natasa Rhind-Tutt: Yes. The funny thing was that I [00:07:00] didn’t realize I actually signed up for advanced Forrest inspired yoga. So almost everyone at that course was already practicing with her for, year or two or five or 10 years. And I was totally new in Forrest Yoga. I’ve actually done two Forest classes. So when she started to teach, physical asanas were not hard to follow, but then all the asanas names, almost all of them are different.

[00:07:30] On day three she said, now, Nataša, you need to teach for 20 minutes and know where the cameras and or the eyes are on me. And I was like, I don’t know any of the names, but because she’s a really strong personality and she has this loud voice and she always says, You mustn’t say sorry for everything — be loud, make your voice demanding.

[00:07:55] Oh, God, now I have to speak out and whatever I say, [00:08:00] I must be confident about it. So it was a really interesting journey. And it’s a really great style. She mixes his tribe, Indian philosophy and Australian native philosophy into yoga. So there is no, I don’t know, Krishna and AUM and stuff like that.

[00:08:21] She prays for us yoga praise to the earth, to the north, and to living beings and to be what you are not to be afraid of showing your wishes to be a little bit egoistic. So the philosophy is a bit different and I actually really liked it. 

[00:08:40] Lily Allen-Duenas: Oh, wow. So how’s the philosophy different? 

Forrest Yoga Philosophy

[00:08:43] Natasa Rhind-Tutt: You know how Eastern yoga always says, get rid of your ego? For example, in Forrest Yoga, no ego is part of us. You just need to make it work for you and for the others, make your ego, take care of yourself and then help [00:09:00] others. So don’t just put your ego to the side. It’s part of you.

[00:09:04] But use it for something good. That’s one of the things, then there is this empathy, helping others being strong and powerful. Don’t close down. Don’t go in one corner and meditate, but be active, help others help yourselves. Uh, Don’t be a victim. So I like that.

[00:09:26] It’s really empowering stuff. 

[00:09:28] Lily Allen-Duenas: Yeah, I connect also with styles or with philosophies that aren’t so much going off into a cave and isolating yourself. I like when we’re able to take things, okay, let’s implement them in our daily lives. Let’s talk about the practices on the mat and off the mat, for lay people as well. Could you tell us more about your yoga philosophy?

Yoga Philosophy: Yoga Is Passion, Focus, and Discipline

[00:09:51] Natasa Rhind-Tutt: Yeah. When I came into yoga, I actually realized that everything we do with passion and focus is what yoga is teaching us. So I actually realized that when I used to be a professional dancer and I was really passionate about it, I was basically doing what yoga is telling me to do.

[00:10:16] So my philosophy is just find something that you love and you do it with passion and focus on that. And you’re already practicing yoga. What yoga is saying is just in yoga, we are just talking loud about things that we can also achieve in other things like if you’re a painter or if you are a. And if you do that with passion, I think this is active meditation.

[00:10:48] My philosophy is first, you need to take care of yourself, your body. You are strong and you have some structure in your life, so you have discipline in your life and that will actually make you be successful in all areas in life. 

[00:11:11] I think it’s really important in life that we learn how to take care of ourselves and, to emphasize healthy living, to take care of our temples, our bodies and find passions. And I always encourage people to do that, whether it’s yoga or not. 

We are all beautifully unique yoga teachers

[00:11:35] Natasa Rhind-Tutt: When I came to yoga, I actually felt like an outcast. I was incorporating dance moves and other sports. And All kinds of things into my yoga classes and music that was not typical for yoga. And I realized it doesn’t matter what style of yoga you teach. It doesn’t matter how you teach it and what you do within the class. As long as you teach people to take care of themselves, take time and slow down to breathe and to be happy with their bodies. And that’s all that matters. And often I hear, oh, what do you do in the studio?

[00:12:27] Let’s say in dynamic yoga, rocket yoga- but is this like going to the gym or dance class? It doesn’t matter because I prefer to have young and old and depressed and whatever people in the studio practicing for an hour or two with me, then seeing them sitting in a cafe, drinking, wine or beer, and many of people who come to the studio first, to lose weight, to sweat, to just enjoy their bodies.

[00:12:58] Many of them start to eat more healthily. They do start to meditate. They do start to breathe differently, to walk differently. And I get many emails and many messages about how my yoga changed their lives or changed how they walk or how they talk to their bosses or how they count to 10 before they explode in an argument.

[00:13:24] And I think this is the best I can do. And it gives me great pleasure to help people like that. I know I am not the best yoga philosopher, and I don’t teach people original yoga philosophy, but whoever wants to go there. I think, there are great books, great teachers in India or gurus, and those people always find their ways then so I think I’m giving my people a great start into a yoga world and [00:14:00] I’m actually very happy with It 

[00:14:01] Lily Allen-Duenas: There are so many yoga teachers out there that kind of compare culture as well as self-doubt and feeling like an impostor, like maybe I don’t know enough, or maybe I’m not teaching the right type. Or maybe if I go study with this teacher or under this guru, then I’ll be a real yoga teacher.

[00:14:20] Like I think there can be that imposter syndrome, especially since there’s so much on social media, there’s over 98 million yoga Instagram accounts now on Instagram as of 2022 at the beginning of the year. There’s a lot of chances out there that yoga teachers are saying, Hey, I don’t know if I’m good enough.

[00:14:40] I don’t know if the style I’m teaching is what I should. So I love how you just said, I found what works for me, what works for my community, what really is serving and uplifting others in a way that helps them feel healthy and revitalized. And what else can people ask for? Just, I think I loved how you said [00:15:00] that- very eloquent and I’m grateful you shared it with our listeners.

[00:15:03] Natasa Rhind-Tutt: Thank you, Lily, you summed up everything I’ve said really nicely. 

How Nataša stepped into her purpose and become a yoga teacher

[00:15:08] Lily Allen-Duenas: So Nataša, how did you find the trust or that confidence or the drive to step into your purpose? Was there something along your path, either in the beginning of your journey, maybe childhood, maybe something in dancing that really just gave you that, that’s something inside of your chest or your belly or your heart that said, okay I’m ready to step into the next step of being a yoga teacher.

[00:15:32] Natasa Rhind-Tutt: It’s very interesting because I was actually in a way thrown into this world. When I started to do what else I did after my dancing career was over. And I was working as a makeup artist and I knew I don’t want to do just that, I don’t want to be just makeup artists for the rest of my life.

[00:15:58] I started to look around [00:16:00] and I found these great modern yoga styles, and I knew immediately what I wanted to do. So I said to this woman, who was a yoga owner in Slovenia. And she actually asked me to do her makeup for her web page. Can I just come to your classes and you don’t need to pay me for the makeup?

[00:16:25] With a dancing background, you become good asanas teachers. So yes, I would love you to become a yoga teacher. And I started to train with her and sadly within two months or something like that, her sister who was also a yoga teacher got ill.

[00:16:44] So this woman asked me, can I just substitute one class? Because she couldn’t find any other substitute. And I was like, oh my gosh. I never taught a yoga class. I was trying to help. And I said, yes. So I told this first yelled at class out of the blue and she came [00:17:00] back to me. I said, you know what people are really satisfied with? Could you teach three times per week? So I actually started to teach without having any certificate. And yeah, I was thrown into this world and then I signed up for my first yoga teacher training and after the teachers’ training was finished. The teacher who had a tiny studio in her basement said, I am moving out of Slovenia with somebody who would like to rent my studio. And I raised my hand and got to the studio. So again, it was almost like it was meant to be, and people came and soon enough, I had two more teachers to teach for me and down the road, five years later, I opened a bigger studio in the center of Ljubljana. I don’t know if it was destined to come.

[00:17:52] Lily Allen-Duenas: That is a true sign of the right thing and being on the right path. And again, coming back to Dharma and living [00:18:00] your Dharma when things fall together like that, so organically. And so in the flow, I just feel like it’s the universe saying? Yeah. Yep. Gold star, thumbs up. You’re doing it right.

Following Your Inner Voice

[00:18:10] Natasa Rhind-Tutt: When I think about why I’m doing yoga or why I am as I am, I. Always come back to my mum, who has bipolar disease. She actually got ill when I was eight. And so when I was getting older she talked to me a lot in different states of her mind. And I always remembered most that she said, I was never allowed to do that. I never had a chance. Others always expected me to do that. My family forbids me to do that. So I think as a small girl, I promised myself– I will not listen to society. I will listen to myself, my instinct, I will follow [00:19:00] my path and not what others expect from me.

[00:19:03] And I think this was a big thing in my life. Even when I was around my friends who all got a job who all studied, all got married when they were, I dunno, 25, who got kids, they were all saying to me, oh my gosh, do you know you’re 30? 

[00:19:20] And you don’t have kids yet? Oh, do you know you’re 35 and you’re not married yet? Oh. How about paying into your fund for when you are going to be old or do you plan to keep on dancing forever? Oh, what do you mean now you’re going to change your career and become a makeup artist or going to be a yoga teacher?

[00:19:42] But I was right! And I was doing what’s right for me because of my mom. And now all those people are saying to me: Oh, I wish I had done what you did. I wish I would still be where you are. So it’s I think my mum disease made me very strong about following my inner voice. 

[00:20:08] Lily Allen-Duenas: Thank you for sharing that with us. I wouldn’t have maybe guests that your mother’s bipolar disorder would have helped you to follow your inner voice. You were saying that she felt like she wasn’t allowed to do things. So then you craved a greater sense of freedom. Did I connect those dots correctly?

[00:20:29] Natasa Rhind-Tutt: Yes. 

[00:20:29] Lily Allen-Duenas: And that’s an amazing thing to reflect on how our parents influence how and who we choose our path. How did these different personalities, or different attachment styles or different patterns in the family? How did that help influence my own decision making process, which I know I also live a bit of an out of the box life and not at all a cookie cutter. So I do get those questions a lot from friends. So Nataša , I would love to hear more about the yoga festival that you founded in the middle of a pandemic, which is so brave event planning is always difficult, but in the middle of COVID even harder. So could you share with our listeners more about what led you to want to start this yoga?

The Slovenia Yoga Festival 

[00:21:15] Natasa Rhind-Tutt: When the first lockdown happened, I have to say I was very content about it. I went back to everything I wanted to do for a long time, but had no time for spending more time with my son being in nature, reading all the books that were waiting for me, cooking for my family more. So I was very content with the lock down.

[00:21:39] Of course, I started to teach on Zoom. So I was not completely without work. But I was happy and, I was like, oh, what were the issues going to pass one day? But I noticed that lots of people had a lot of anxiety during this time and how to deal with it. And me having all this peace and time, I started to plan an event which is yoga

[00:22:08] festival that I actually want to do one day, but I never got to it because I have a yoga studio, then I have a small boy, I have lots of hobbies, and a mom in an old people’s home. So it was a big event organized, and I never had enough time to do it and a lock down as wow. I think now it’s the right time. I have a lot of time on my own.

[00:22:32] And I think people are craving to go back to fun events, to practice in big groups, to go out of their towns. I got really excited. And although a lot of people and friends and colleagues were saying to me, this is not the right time to have a yoga festival. I just felt this deep desire that yes it is. I need to do it. So last [00:23:00] summer in June, 2021 I got all my stuff together and organized my first yoga festival and it was small but it was a big success. This June in 2022. Yeah, I’m organizing my second one and I hope it’s gonna be on every year from now on. 

[00:23:21] Lily Allen-Duenas: That’s amazing. It’s called the Nataraja yoga festival held every year in June. Is that correct? 

[00:23:28] Natasa Rhind-Tutt: Yes. 

[00:23:29] Lily Allen-Duenas: Beautiful. That’s amazing. And Nataša, I love to ask this question to every guest I have on my podcast. What is your personal definition of yoga?

What Is Your Definition of Yoga? 

[00:23:42] Natasa Rhind-Tutt: For me personally, yoga is a huge playground where I get to play with my body and my mind, where I find peace and where I have a possibility to be truly me, without pretending.I like to explore different styles and use them according to I how I feel and where I am in my life and of course it benefits me  know them in  the studio to attract different groups of people.Professionally Yoga for me is a magnificent tool that I use to help people to teach them how to feel good about themselves and grow constantly. I try not to be too serious about it because I think people have too many burdens in their lives already so I would like that Yoga for masses is light and approachable.

[00:23:57] Lily Allen-Duenas: Beautiful. I love that. And so if some of our listeners want to find out more about you or get in touch, or maybe even. Get more information about your summer yoga festivals, where is a good place for them to reach out and get in touch?

[00:24:15] Natasa Rhind-Tutt: Well probably the best is to visit my webpage, which is NatarajaStudio.Com . Luckily, I have it in Slovenian and in English language. And you can find all the information there about workshops and teacher training, yoga festivals, and our regular classes. We are also on Facebook and Instagram. So you can also find us on Instagram, Nataraja_Studio or on Facebook. 

[00:24:46] Lily Allen-Duenas: Perfect. I will link all of those in the show notes. So you can check it out. Easy click of a button, wherever you’re listening to podcasts, as well as there’ll be links on my website, wild yoga tribe.com. So you can get in touch with Nataša. So Nataša, before we sign off, I would love for you to share a little bit more about Slovenia with our listeners.

[00:25:08] Maybe they’re not super familiar with it. Maybe they can’t quite even put it quite on a map. So would you tell our listeners a little bit more about your country?

Let’s Learn More About Slovenia

[00:25:18] Natasa Rhind-Tutt: It’s very interesting. When I did teacher training with Ana Forrest who’s from America and she and her husband are from Australia. So at some point. He waved to me and said, goodbye, Nataša , from Slovenia next to Russia or wherever you are from an East European country. And I laughed because a minute before that he was talking about yeah, let’s go into Savasana and pretend we are in Italy, and he knew everything about Italy. So Sylvania is bordering Italy, Austria, Hungary, and Croatia. So to brag that we are in the [00:26:00] heart of Europe and really like to brag that Slovenia is the only country who has love in. Slovenia is a very tiny country, but we are actually very proud of it because we have everything. We have seaside. We have high mountains to climb or ski on. We have many lakes and forests, but it is also very nice. main city: Ljubljana which you’re all welcome to visit. 

[00:26:28] Lily Allen-Duenas: I actually do have a trip to Louisiana planned at the end of March 2022. So I’m very excited to get to see Slovenia for myself. And from what I’ve read and seen online, it is just a gorgeous country. So I was really excited to get to share more with our listeners about it today with you.

[00:26:47] So thank you so much, Nataša for joining me today. It has just been a true joy to be with you.

[00:26:53] Natasa Rhind-Tutt: Thank you Lily for this conversation and contact me for a coffee when you’re in Slovenia. 

[00:26:59] Lily Allen-Duenas: [00:27:00] I will thank you so much.
