Kate is an Anusara Inspired yoga teacher, honoured to be currently teaching in Istanbul. She began practicing yoga in New York City at Jivamukti Yoga 10 years ago. Hooked after her first class, she has since studied under many gifted and amazing teachers. Though Kate has studied a variety of different styles in Hong Kong, Europe and the U.S., she focused most of her training with Chris Chavez in Anusara. She was drawn to Anusara due to its elegant yoking of clear alignment instruction and uplifting philosophy. Kate has been deeply influenced by Patrick Creelman, Chris Chavez, Jules Febres, Shelle Jackson and Shiva Rea among many others. She plays music during her class and hopes they are challenging as well as playful. She will encourage you to work hard while focusing on breathing, opening, and awareness of body and self. She believes that practicing yoga with awareness, love, gratitude and forgiveness can be a path to healing body and mind.
