Yogi Flight School, an innovative online yoga program, is transforming the way individuals approach arm balances and inversion yoga poses, ultimately elevating their physical practice and boosting their self-confidence. Founded by a former marketing director who discovered a passion for yoga, specifically the challenging poses that push you out of your comfort zone, Yogi Flight School aims to help people break through limiting beliefs and realize their true potential.
In 2015, the founder, Nathania Stambouli, embarked on a yoga teacher training journey for personal growth. This experience was life-changing, revealing the extent to which she was living a life misaligned with her true self. Motivated by this newfound clarity, she left her job, ended a toxic relationship, and pursued a career in teaching yoga. The transition was challenging, but within three months, she was fully supporting herself through yoga classes, a testament to the power of following one’s passion.
The COVID-19 pandemic sparked a new mission for the founder: to create an online program that would help people achieve their goals and reach a state of abundance. Thus, Yogi Flight School was born in 2020, focusing on empowering yoga enthusiasts to master arm balances and inversions. The program quickly attracted a global community of dedicated individuals committed to overcoming their limitations and achieving what once seemed impossible.

Unlike many yoga programs that emphasize physical prowess, Yogi Flight School places a significant emphasis on mindset. The program addresses the mental barriers—such as limiting beliefs, negative thought patterns, and fear of judgment—that often hold people back not just in their yoga practice, but in their lives.
By integrating principles of mindset transformation and yoga philosophy, Yogi Flight School helps participants not only improve their physical abilities but also experience personal growth and enhanced self-confidence.
One of the key differentiators of Yogi Flight School is its proprietary methodology, The Yogi Flight MethodⓇ, which is not solely based on strength or flexibility. Instead, the program focuses on the principles of physics and mechanics, making complex poses accessible to individuals of all body types and fitness levels. This approach, combined with unlimited personalized coaching, allows participants to receive tailored guidance and quickly progress in their practice.
The impact of Yogi Flight School extends beyond the yoga mat. Participants report significant improvements in their overall confidence and well-being. The process of mastering challenging poses teaches resilience and determination, qualities that translate into other areas of life. As the founder explains, “The yoga mat is a mirror for your life. The stories you tell yourself on your mat show up in everything you do. By conquering arm balances and inversions, you learn to say ‘yes, I can’ and ‘I will’ in all aspects of your life. You also get to see the stories you’re telling yourself that are keeping you small and keeping you safe, and you get to rewrite them.”
The program’s community aspect also plays a crucial role in its success. Yogi Flight School fosters a supportive environment where individuals encourage and motivate each other. This sense of belonging and mutual support enhances the learning experience and helps participants stay committed to their practice.
Yogi Flight School’s mission is to inspire individuals to live out loud and follow their hearts. The founder, along with their team and community, provides the motivation, inspiration, and support necessary to help participants achieve their goals. The program is designed to push individuals past their perceived limitations and guide them toward moments of realization and triumph.

By embracing the challenge of arm balances and inversions, participants can unlock their full potential and experience the profound impact of increased self-confidence and personal growth.
