Based in San Francisco, yoga teacher and celebrated world music recording artist Nat Kendall brings a rich depth of experience and heartfelt dedication to every class he shares. His teachings speak to both newcomers and long-time practitioners, combining authenticity, compassion, and a clear connection to the timeless roots of yoga. With practical guidance, transformative methods, and meaningful insight, he encourages personal growth, renews enthusiasm for practice, and offers a steady, graceful path into the spiritual dimensions of yoga.
Nat teaches vinyasa shaped by the other limbs of yoga, drawing from extensive study with Rusty Wells, Janet Stone, and Jai Uttal. His classes are both energizing and nourishing, creating an atmosphere of focus, kindness, laughter, chanting, and beautiful music. Within this supportive space, students are invited to explore the deeper benefits of the practice safely and with openness.
At the Big Sky Bhakti Bliss retreat, guests begin with sunrise meditation followed by grounding morning vinyasa classes. Afternoons bring playful sessions with time to discuss and break down poses, along with an immersive exploration of Bhakti Yoga through chanting, mantra, and philosophy. The retreat also includes optional Montana excursions such as hiking, plus delicious organic vegetarian meals served three times a day. Feathered Pipe Ranch offers a compassionate, unconditionally loving presence throughout the retreat, with plenty of free time and space for either solitude or community, depending on what each guest needs.
