Natalie Michelle Cummings Is a Yoga Activist - Maureen McCormick’s Daughter Once Encouraged Her to Join Fitness Show
Natalie Michelle Cummings is the daughter of the famous Maureen McCormick. Natalie grew up outside of the public's eye and evolved into a career in fitness. She is an essential part of her parent's life, who express their undying love for her.
Natalie was born on May 19, 1989, just four years after her mother, Maureen McCormick, 66, married actor Micheal Cummings, 63. The pair have fallen deeply in love, growing closer as a couple and developing values within their relationship that set the tone for their little close-knit family.
Natalie has earned her mother's approval, who speaks highly about her. Maureen, a self-proclaimed good judge of character, has credited her daughter for the goodness in her heart. The 33-year-old lived a life outside of the attention of Hollywood, forging a path as a Yoga diversity activist.

Maureen is very proud of her 37-year marriage with her husband. Their bond has improved over time. The "Brady Bunch" star comments on the bond that she shares with her chap:
"And I think my husband and I have become better human beings by being together. I'm a really good judge of character, and when I met him, I could see into his soul and knew I could trust him."
Natalie Michelle Cummings Grew up Away from the Spotlight & Pursued a Career in Fitness
The 33-year-old yoga activist did not take the route made familiar to her by her parents. Growing up, she did not desire to follow in the path of her mother, who is solidified in the American entertainment industry. Her love for Yoga drove her to launch a company of her own.
Natalie collaborated with a Yoga company called YBI Coalition. She also helped YBI Coalition get their website up to par and designed their site's interface via her business, Yoga Business Connection's services. As of late, though, Natalie has not been active on social media, leaving her current activities in life shadowed by mystery.
Natalie's business is very close to her heart as she is a fully-fledged Yogi who pours a lot of passion into her work. The business's social media accounts are plastered with images—such as the image embedded below, advising and inspiring people interested in the Indian exercise routine.
Natalie Michelle Cummings Inspired Her Mom to Join a Fitness Show after Struggling with Her Weight
Natalie's work is a source of upliftment for many. At some point, her business was even a godsend to her mother, who was struggling with her weight. Maureen was offered to make an appearance on "Celebrity Fit Club" in 2006. Conscious of her weight issues, Maureen was reluctant to accept the offer.
Her husband and daughter were the motivation, pushing her to accept the challenge. Maureen fell into depression after all the tribulations she discusses in her book.

Appearing on the show impacted the trajectory of her life and healed some wounds within. She mentioned a heartwarming moment after her weight loss journey:
“My daughter just walked in from school and wrote me a note that said, "Mom, you look so beautiful." Is that amazing or what? I'm so in love with her.”
Natalie Michelle Cummings Is Her Mom's Heart & Soul
Maureen has always been in love with her daughter. Throughout her life, Maureen has kept her daughter's life private. The yoga activist would appear now and again through a post on her mother's social media.
On Mother's day last year, Maureen shared an epic throwback photo of herself and her daughter on her Instagram. The actress titled the photo with some sweet words, appreciating the chance at motherhood that Natalie has given her:
"To my dear sweet Daughter, I love you with all of my heart! You are my sunshine, my heart and soul. What a blessing to be your mother."
Maureen's family is very important to her. The TV star very seldomly shares beautiful throwback photos of her family on her Instagram. The photo captions tell short stories depicting her love for her husband and daughter.

Although having lived her life in private and currently continuing to do so without recent activity on social media—Natalie has hit some red-carpet events with her mother, including the 2005 LA premiere of "Cinderella Man." A sports biographical film based on the life of heavyweight boxing champion James Walter Braddock.
Natalie and her mother both wore coats with pink T-shirts to the premiere of "Cinderella Man," which stars Rene Zellweger, who plays Mae Braddock, the heavyweight champion's wife.
