Magdalena Hansen

My name is Magdalena Hansen and I'm Danish educated as a nurse, yoga and meditation teacher in Natha Yogacenter with 25 years of experience within the field of self development.

Growing up I struggled with low self esteem and inner emptiness feeling depressed, so as a late teenager I began my journey of self transformation with different types of orthodox and unorthodox methods that I found in Denmark.

This led me to Natha Yogacenter in Copenhagen, first practicing Hatha yoga and then meditation (laya yoga) and later all the different branches of yoga like karma yoga, kundalini yoga, tantra yoga, jnana yoga, laya yoga, mantra yoga, yantra yoga, bhakti yogs and raja yoga.

The teachings of Natha Yogacenter is combining theory and practice from different esoteric traditions. In every lesson we go through a theoretical aspect of yoga and written material are given. Because of the amazing knowledge that I received in Natha Yogacenter I understood that I could change my life with yoga. Gradually I realized how powerful a system yoga really is when you learn it in depth, as the profound knowledge and techniques goes hand in hand as a powerful tool for self transformation. Experiencing this within my own being I decided to become a teacher of Natha Yogacenter as I have to this day not met a yoga school that is more complete in its teachings.

I was teaching fro Natha Yogacenter Denemark for 11 years and supporting the school to grow when my partner Serafim wanted to move back to his home country Iceland to share these amazing teachings. So in 2007 we moved to Iceland and opened Natha Yogacenter Reykjavik in 2008.

It was tough in the beginning with no money to advertise and offering teachings that are mainly for those that are truly serious about yoga, but we received a lot of support and in 2015 a student decided to donate a property to Natha Yogacenter Reykjavik to make our life easier in Iceland. We are now in the process of reconstructing this new property, and we need support to finishing our beautiful new yoga studio.
