Get To Know Kathryn


Why do you teach yoga?

  • I teach yoga to share this life-changing practice with others. Yoga helps me connect to my breath, so when life gets challenging, I can manage my energy. The world would be a better place if we all tapped into our breath in order to calm our nervous systems. 


How long have you been practicing yoga?

  • My yoga journey began in the early 2000s with a college course and a gym membership. In 2015, I discovered hot yoga, and I was instantly in love. That’s when I truly began to immerse myself in the practice. 


What can I expect in your class?

  • In my class, you can expect space to go inward to connect to yourself. I offer time to be what is, allowing you to explore your physical, emotional, and mental state just as you are, in a judgment-free environment. 


What kind of music do you love to share in class?

  • In my vinyasa class, I offer mostly instrumental beats. As we begin to flow, faster-pace music is played. In my yin, classes, I love binaural beats and peaceful ambient music to help your  calm your mind and connect to your body. 


What’s your favorite Asana(pose)? 

  • My favorite pose is child’s pose. Child’s Pose helps foster introspection and mindfulness, and offers a moment to ground, feel, and connect. 


Do you have a favorite quote from a yoga teacher you want to share?

  • “Yoga means a relationship…..How to be in a relationship and come out successful. It’s really about relationships. In your life, you’ve made life-long connections.” Jonny Kest (Yoga Revealed Podcast, April 25, 2016)
