Naty Franzoni: From TV Star to Yoga Teacher – A Journey of Transformation

Since 2018, Naty Franzoni has been dedicated to teaching yoga, an ancient discipline. On a personal level, she has two sons, Gonzalo and Ramiro, the result of her relationship with Mariano Juan, a former soccer player and sports journalist.

At 38 years old, Naty Franzoni cannot be defined with a single word: she is an entrepreneur, influencer, writer and creator of her own yoga method. Although today she enjoys a good career present, she went a long way to achieve it and had to face different challenges.

She always dreamed of working on television and took her first steps as a catwalk and advertising model. She began to participate in castings, but they never selected her. Far from being discouraged by her adversity, she set out on her own path; That’s how in 2012 she decided to create, produce and host her own show, Glam & Music, on the CM cable channel.

Pamela David was the first to offer to join her staff, as a presenter at Desayuno Americano. That was the kickoff of Franzoni’s entry to the small screen. From then on he worked in different media, such as América, Fox and Ciudad Magazine, where he hosted the series Cambiá tu día.

But in 2018 Naty made a drastic change in her life when she qualified as a yoga teacher, a discipline that she began practicing in her adolescence and helped her overcome health problems. She gave workshops, published books, organized festivals and generated content about yoga and self-knowledge on social networks. Nowadays, far from TV, she not only runs her own yoga academy, but she has also become a popular influencer.

—What do you miss about television?

-Nothing. I am happy with this path. For me, television was a springboard that gave me the opportunity to meet beautiful and talented people in the media. Today they make my path easier because I have many contacts. So it gave me a place to be able to communicate to the world everything I am doing: I published four books, I have seven thousand students per month (through online classes) in my yoga academy. It’s incredible everything that happened.

—I remember when you were Pamela David’s assistant.

—Pame was the first one who called me to work. My premise was: “I do this program and make myself known.” I did thousands of castings and they had never chosen me. I started interviewing people, so they would know me and give me a job. I was able to work with everyone I interviewed, and Pamela was one of them. She gave me the chance to show myself as I was. She then sang, danced, gave joy and well-being. From then on I didn’t stop working.

—Would you like to work in the media again?

—I love TV, I can’t imagine today, with the structure I have put together, being able to be on a program. I can’t even leave what I’m doing to be there every day; it takes a long time. Before I was on TV all day, I worked on three channels at the same time: I started at seven in the morning and finished at one in the morning. Then, luckily, I left everything and dedicated myself to my own thing; and I was not wrong, quite the opposite.

—How did yoga start in your life? When did you realize that you were going to dedicate yourself full time to teaching?

—I started practicing yoga when I was 17 years old. At that time it was not popular and elderly people usually attended classes. It generated peace and well-being for me, and I was able to channel very quickly with this philosophy of life. Yoga is not just a practice, it is one’s union with the Universe, working with the physical, mental and spiritual body. It has a connection to everything we do. Through this practice I was able to manifest different desires of my soul. Whenever I was somewhere, I would tell it and share it with so much love that it motivated everyone around me to start doing yoga. When I worked on TV with Pamela, we did yoga practices, affirmations and meditations in the dressing room every day. She was my first student; I never imagined that she would end up doing all this. Wherever I went we all ended up meditating and doing yoga. When I already had the media and social networks, the process happened naturally.

—When was your explosion in the world of yoga?

—During the pandemic I did a live show on social media and had more and more people watching me. A few months later, I launched my online training and had 800 students signed up for my instructor training. I had already graduated as a yoga teacher, but I had been practicing it for 20 years. Everything already resonated with me, it was very natural, very genuine. I also traveled to India and it was a big change. In the pandemic, I didn’t even expect it, one thing is to share it with a person and another thing is for your students to want to train with you, to be able to transmit this passion with people of all ages who speak different languages.

—What is the yoga teaching method that you created?

—I was always very self-taught and learned from a very young age about the law of attraction, ho’oponopono, meditation, mindfulness. At 14 years old I started practicing all this because I was very sick: I had psoriasis. A year later I was cured and the psoriasis left my body. This chronic illness had to do with the fact that I didn’t like anything about myself or my life. Then I worked with affirmations, decrees, with all this that I do today. When I started practicing yoga it was adding tools, in this case it was adding a philosophy of life. In my practices I added everything I already knew naturally by pure intuition. I started teaching classes with my own style and the teachers criticized me, telling me that what I was doing wasn’t yoga because I used drums and free movements. The basis of my practices is Hatha Yoga, added to other holistic tools such as NLP, affirmations, coaching, tapping, writing and meditation. That’s all part of my NF method, which is registered. In addition, I have seven thousand students who already have mentoring and teach classes, it is a job opportunity. My students are lawyers, doctors, psychologists, and they use these tools for their lives. Even the kindergarten teachers teach it to the kids and they even listen to my songs at school.

—Are you also a singer?

—I like music and I started making songs. I love to sing, I don’t sing well, I’m not a singer, but I do have eight songs that are usually heard in kindergartens. It’s crazy. I had started meditations and people told me that they heard my voice when they got up and when they went to sleep. There are families who get together to listen to different meditations for abundance, gratitude, self-love, for stress, for sleep. I started recording the meditations at home. I covered myself with padding in my bed and recorded with my phone. My sister-in-law, who has her music band, Círculo del Bosque, composes the music for the meditations. She edits them and plays background music with my singing. Today the songs are heard in the gardens, in the schools. I usually receive videos of them opening the school with my topics.

—In general, many traditional yoga schools tend to be a bit structured.

—Yes, it’s all very old, very archaic. You have to adapt, if Patañjali (a wise thinker from India) had come, I would surely have done something else and I would be doing my dances (laughs). To reach everyone, you have to make it popular and give it freshness and spontaneity. We have to go beyond what we have always been told, break structures. We come from mental prisons. What I least want to do is another prison with a practice that is so beautiful, that is for everyone, and that everyone can do it as they like and feel. The important thing is to connect and feel an emotion for yourself, for life, through the yoga that you like the most. My yoga method is very disruptive and my students teach classes from the first month and get paid.

—Is it difficult to be an entrepreneur in times of crisis?

—I think it’s all in the mind. For me nothing is difficult: I do everything I set my mind to. I know how to focus and where to put my energy so that my projects grow. All crises are great opportunities. For me everything is an opportunity, it is my way of life since I was very young. But I had to learn it and put it into practice. Once you realize that you are the creator of absolutely everything, regardless of what is happening, you have to focus on what you want. About 60 thousand people took my courses and they usually send me messages saying that they have changed their lives. My motto is: “Don’t believe me, try it.” Each person chooses whether they want to change or not. It works if you put it into practice, but you have to be disciplined, have will. It’s not magic. Things happen to all of us, the world is crazy, but we can create a different reality and contribute that to the world. I can help by showing what makes me good and from there I can encourage others to want to feel better. There is no such thing as a rosy life. We have to deal with how we can help, find a purpose that is positive and constructive. So the world would be different.
