Courses are offered both here in SA and in beautiful destinations like Bali. The yoga she teaches helps you become ‘more aware of hidden tensions within the body and mind which hold us back from exploring greater depths within ourselves and within the water,’ says Natalie on her comeoneyoga.com.

Most of all grateful that I can be in it and amongst it everyday should I choose so that my connection is ever stronger through the practice of freediving and teaching 💦 🌊 🐋 . . . 🦅 . . #grateful #eternal #nature #freediver #freediving #girlswhofreedive #freedivers #freediverlife #freedivinginstructor #southafrica #girlsthatfreedive #moments #bliss #samadhi #lotus #nomad #travel #skindiving #oceanbliss #pachamama #underwaterphotography #onebreath #ocean #apnea #theoceanneedus #noplastic #conscious #freedivinginstructor #watertherapy #journey #mermaid #freediverlife 📷 @chambersbelow A post shared by Natalie Rudman (@freedive_yoga) on Sep 10, 2019 at 5:39am PDT One of the ways in which yoga complements freediving is that it reduces stress, which in turn lowers your metabolic rate and oxygen consumption. Below are some images that are so relaxing to look at, you may not feel the need for either yoga or freediving by the time you’re done. Natalie went to school in Durban before working in London and then Australia, where her journey to becoming a champion freediver began with SCUBA diving. She offers yoga classes and freediving courses in North East Bali as well as in Durban. View this post on Instagram We had a blast at the recent Yoga Freediving Retreat, teaching Level 1 to 7 eager New Freedivers and guiding yoga, meditation and Pranayama practices that enrich the freediving experience. It’s been a bit of a adventurous two weeks for me, with the #indonesianfreediving competition finishing and then the retreat starting and finishing, I’m taking a little time now to regroup for the next venture and to reflect on the past few weeks. • • The next freediving Yoga retreat should be early next year, if you would like to reserve a spot get in touch, I am certain we can help you to to get into a meditative (present) state of mind under water • • • #adventure #freediver #freediving #freedive #apnea #meditation #apnea #yoga #freediveretreat #yogaretreat #bali @deepsearchaquatics @bluechitta 👙@oceansoulretreats A post shared by Natalie Rudman (@freedive_yoga) on Nov 17, 2018 at 7:44pm PST Earlier this year the 36-year-old broke a long-held record in Bali. ‘Bali is where the ocean opened up for me as a freediver. I did not tell anyone that I wanted to break my hero and fellow South African Hanli Prinsloo’s record of 63 metres – a record she held for eight years,’ Rudman told the North Coast Courier.
