about

Natasha leads from a place of love and is passionately in service to share floating sound wellness experiences, aerial yoga & fitness and mindful crafting with others at her studio, Steady Effort Yoga • Wellness • Sound in Penticton, BC.

She is grateful for her inspiring teachers that have helped guide her to be a RYT 500hr SOYA graduate, level 2 Pain Care Aware teacher and is certified in Aerial Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Pre & Post Natal Yoga and Sound Wellness.

If you can’t find her crafting or upside-down in a hammock, she will be helping the bees and butterflies as a volunteer Butterflyway Ranger, dancing in the starlit forest, floating in water, or travelling with her family and friends in laughter.

Chantelle is an E-RYT200, RCYT
yoga teacher with over a decade of experience, including 9 years dedicated to teaching children and families. Her work is rooted in yin and restorative practices, and has recently expanded to include aerial yoga—bringing a sense of support, play, and lightness to her offerings.

She loves the balance between playful, high-energy classes with kids and the deeply soothing, slow-paced nature of yin yoga, while aerial yoga blending playful movement with deep rest.

Based in the South Okanagan, Chantelle draws inspiration from the natural beauty that surrounds her. When she’s not teaching, you’ll likely find her spending time outdoors with her family, immersed in nature and the rhythm of the seasons.

Her classes are warm, inclusive, and community-centered—offering a space to soften, explore, and feel at home in your body.

When we are not helping humans with their wellness goals, we are trying to help the bees and the butterflies with their pollinating goals!

We are a part of the David Suzuki Foundation’s Butterflyway Project. The aim of the project is to encourage the planting of native wildflowers that support local bees and butterflies in communities throughout the country. Insects are in decline and every patch of wildflowers, big and small, can help bring them back!

Our role as volunteer Butterflyway Rangers is to reach out to friends, neighbours and local groups and businesses that might be interested in adding native wildflowers to their gardens or showcasing these plants in-store to help spread pollinator awareness.

The goal is to establish at least a dozen new pollinator-friendly gardens in our community this year to officially be recognized as a Butterflyway. We was hope you might be interested in helping out too!

You can find more details about the Butterflyway Project and a map of other Butterflyways at www.davidsuzuki.org/butterflyway.

If you are interested in creating your own wellness experience, learning more about helping the butterflies or have an idea you’d like to share please get in touch below. Thanks!
