Nat Kendall

Nat Kendall is a yoga and bhakti teacher based in San Francisco, and a world music recording artist. His teaching aims to bridge ancient yogic traditions with modern life, in a way that works for beginners and seasoned practitioners alike. He describes the work as rooted in authenticity and grounded in compassion.

For Nat, yoga is a life practice. His stated mission is to help others live more authentic and meaningful lives, filled with integrity, inspiration, purpose and aliveness. He speaks of being indebted to the many teachers who made sacrifices to share the teachings, and of wanting to share what has been shared with him.

His public classes are Bhakti Flow, ranging from energizing to soulful and restorative, and he also teaches online. Students describe a calm voice, chanting and musical offerings woven into class. He offers one-to-one mentorship for those who want to go further on the path.

Nat leads yoga retreats that combine teachings, community, cultural experiences and time in nature. They draw on yoga, meditation, mantra, storytelling and self-inquiry, and include a yoga and kirtan retreat in the redwoods of Northern California. He also writes regularly on yoga and life, including reflections on a silent Vipassana meditation retreat.
