About this Retreat
Natasha Schön is an ICF-certified leadership coach and trainer, creating transformative spaces through her retreats, workshops, and coaching. Her work empowers individuals to reconnect with their core values, overcome limiting beliefs, and develop the tools needed to lead from within and inspire beyond.
Fluent in English, Dutch, German, and Spanish, Natasha’s multilingual communication skills enable her to connect deeply with diverse audiences. As a passionate yogi, she integrates mindfulness, breathwork, and movement into her approach to leadership.
With a proven track record of coaching individuals from young professionals to C-suite executives, Natasha specializes in building self-awareness, fostering authenticity, and expanding visions of what’s possible. A certified practitioner in Nonviolent Communication (NVC), she combines empathy and actionable strategies to help her clients create meaningful, lasting change.
Shawna specializes in transforming leadership lessons from the yoga world into easy-to-understand, engaging stories that inspire self-leadership in our everyday lives. She is the host of the Leadership and Yoga podcast, and a bilingual certified yoga instructor specializing in Progressive Ashtanga and Rocket.
Accessing the boldness required to bring our gifts into the world is what lights Shawna up and an attitude of inspiration in the face of what can be intimidating is what she aims to serve to the world. Shawna grew up working on a farm in the apple orchards, was the first in her family to make it to college and learned a foreign language as an adult to presentation-level fluency.
She entered the yoga world over a decade ago without being able to touch her toes and has since mastered handstanding and works hands-on weekly with students to help them learn as well.
Shawna’s love for yoga and background in the law and coaching world lead to the creation of the Leadership and Yoga podcast, and the Ritual of Writing journal, both of which emphasize the great joy that can be found in simply putting bare feet on a mat or a pen to paper.
