Katherine’s teaching style encourages students to find the grace and ease of yoga asana through the wisdom of the breath. Her classes focus on developing awareness of the subtle energies in the body by exploring embodied alignment and movement principles that listen to the body’s natural intelligence in order to achieve harmony and equilibrium. Her Embodyoga® flow classes offer students an opportunity to improve flexibility, gain strength, clear the mind and find connection to body, mind and spirit. Katherine’s background includes degrees in fine art and film as well as dance, which all inform her enjoyment of practicing yoga to music and creating fun and challenging Embodyoga® flow sequences. Students are always encouraged to find their own level of practice by implementing the use of props and modifications.
Katherine has been practicing yoga since her college days but it wasn’t until 2005, when she trained at Mama Nirvana’s in Amherst, that she began teaching. Katherine has been an enthusiastic student of Embodyoga® with Patty Townsend for the past 3 years and is nearing completion of her 500 hr Embodyoga®certification. She has studied yoga and meditation with many teachers including Alan Finger, Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, Judith Hanson Lasater and Gary Kraftsow. At Kripalu Center Katherine explored the many applications of yoga in Yoga Therapeutics and Integrative Weight Loss training programs.
Her classes create a gentle support that honors the individual as she guides her students toward achieving stability, developing a fuller breath, and cultivating health.
