After falling in love with yoga at age 5, Natalie Asatryan went on to become the youngest female yoga instructor in the United States. She wants other girls to know it's never too early to make a difference in the world.

In 2019, I was in the hospital recovering from a traumatic car accident. When I could walk again, my healthcare team suggested I integrate yoga and meditation back into my daily regimen. My first time on the mat again, the yoga instructor guided the class with anecdotes of being present and grateful.

Natalie’s yoga journey began in kindergarten when a friend’s parent invited her to join a class. “All I needed was that and I was absolutely hooked. I couldn’t wait for Tuesday to go back,” she says. In elementary school, she tried different activities but didn’t connect to anything else the way she did to yoga. At age 8, Natalie joined her mom’s yoga classes. As her passion for the mindful practice grew, she was surprised most of her friends had never heard of it.

When Natalie told her mom she wanted to be a yoga instructor, she encouraged her to be anything she wanted when she grew up. Natalie corrected herself and said, “I want to teach yoga .” Her mom found a studio with an upcoming teacher training, but when she asked if her daughter could participate, they were turned away. Frustrated but determined, they called and visited studio after studio. Three years later, they finally got the yes they had been waiting for.

Through her yoga instruction and public speaking, she hopes to motivate “a new paradigm of intellectually active, spiritual children and teenagers” and encourage girls to pursue their passions at any age.
