About
Kate began teaching yoga in NYC in 2017. You can find her in NY offering in person and online sessions.
How would you describe your approach to yoga?
I would describe it as practical and doable. The magic, the change, the alchemical and material evolvements towards joy and well-being will happen as the practical and mundane are approached well.
What’s something yoga has taught you about yourself that nothing else has?
Yoga has given me language, technique and a means to move through my life in a way that feels more fulfilling, empowering and self-actualizing than without, partly because I love it.
What muses and amuses you?
I’m quite curious and my imagination tends to be captured with ease. As someone who enjoys being in a mode of learning, it’s been helpful to be discerning about what muses and amuses me. Certainly nature is a consistent source of inspiration. It feeds the practicalities of my life with pattern, connection, and a reminder that potential always surrounds. There’s also a healthful beauty in nature that inspires my mind to transcend the mundane terrains of life. It’s enjoyable seeing the wit in things.
What practices and teachers do you circle back to?
My home practice is daily, and because of my lifestyle it’s quite spontaneous. Some days it may be an hour of breathing and meditation when I wake, other times I'm simply practicing in the kitchen while cooking. I seek the day of consistently waking in the morning and arriving on my mat before the rest of my day begins.
My long time and current teacher Nevine Michaan is someone I am always circling back to.
And the online class libraries from Sky Ting and The Studio are my favorites. Outside of yoga, I have a huge tennis obsession and also enjoy writing.
