Kathy

Kathy is a Yoga Alliance certified instructor with more than 3,000 hours of teaching experience and nearly 30 years of personal yoga practice.Her own yoga journey began while recovering from an injury that caused chronic back and neck pain. After incorporating yoga into her life, Kathy became pain-free and experienced firsthand the lasting impact a consistent practice could have on both body and mind. Over the years, she has studied with dozens of teachers and developed an approach rooted in movement, breath, meditation, and community. She believes yoga should meet people where they are and give them tools to feel stronger, more balanced, and more connected both on and off the mat.
