November 11 · Amy KalmanKatie is literally the best yoga teacher I have ever had and I have been taking yoga for 30 years. Knowledgeable, experienced, kind & sensitive to individual needs. She quickly assesses people's abilities & limitations and takes you through exactly what is needed. I can't say enough about her and her teaching.
May 08 · Jennifer ThorntonI’m so happy to have found Katie’s class. I am close to a yoga novice and have felt so much mental and physical benefit from it. I love the way that Katie talks about positioning the body—I can really understand the poses. And beyond the physical, I really love that Katie incorporates mindfulness into every session. I find her classes to be the perfect combination of mind and body and leave each one feeling renewed and relaxed.
January 16 · Elsbeth WalkerI have taken different yoga classes around the area, Katie is my favorite teacher for several reasons. Katie's voice is soothing. She gives clear directions. She corrects posture. And lastly she is so grounded and kind. Highly recommend anything Katie offers!
December 27 · Elizabeth ElderNo matter what kind of day I've had, Katie always seems to know exactly what I need and provides a yoga experience unlike any other I've been a part of. I'll admit to not really having much of a yoga practice, but through Katie's classes, I have been able to integrate different poses throughout my day that make me more aware of my body in space, provide just the right movement, or encourage me to find the quiet focus I sorely need in that moment. Katie has a knack for being able to teach an entire class in a big space and still make it feel like she's there just for you. She intentionally takes the time to know those participating in her classes and designs the classes to meet our needs, even specifically cueing one or another of us on how to make the pose work better for us. Her understanding of body mechanics and how to help us mindfully adjust and move our bodies to get the most out of a pose is always appreciated. I highly recommend joining one of Katie's classes!
