Yoga Elder
Kathryn’s insight, instinct
and sensitivity is unsurpassed.
She has an uncanny way of tuning-in to everyone in class.
Feels like she is offering a

A true Yoga Elder, transmitter of wisdom and knowledge of immense value.
Rare abilities
in this increasingly frenetic and hurried world in which we live
Fiona
My First Retreat
The itinerary was well thought out.
Kathryn has a talent for engendering confidence in and acceptance of oneself in her yoga teachings.
She is naturally intuitive, creative and knowledgeable when sharing adaptations for client's
individual needs.
All about safety, exquisite comfort,
deep self-care.
A reward of Love for the Soul.

Overthinking
If you are hesitant don't be.
Time disappears when relatively straight forward movements create a sense of ease in the body,
as well as settling the constant battle of thoughts in the mind.
I came here
to experience this,
to learn to take responsibility
and continue to choose to take better care of myself at home
