I have lived in West Roxbury for nearly 15 years, and I love the area as well as surrounding neighborhoods. My love for yoga began at a little studio in West Roxbury called, ‘Yoga for You’, a Bikram studio. I loved the classes, the heat, the instructors, and the community it created. Many years later after being introduced to a Vinyasa style of yoga I quickly became interested in this brand new (to me) style of yoga! My certification began as a quest to learn more about the practice as well as to one day teach it.

I received my 200 hour YTT certification through LifeTime Athletic in 2019 after practicing for many years and wanting to deepen my practice. Many people feel they aren’t good at yoga but I believe there is no good or bad way to “do” yoga. It’s not about flexibility or athleticism, although both of those will improve with yoga. It’s about connecting with yourself through breath and movement and calming your mind. The practice is just that, a “practice” and every class is a journey of self discovery and awareness. It all starts with coming to your mat and I hope to see you there!

Katie began her yoga journey as a means of exercise but soon found it to be so much more than that. Yoga gives her a healing space to transform her life by aligning her actions with her values, which is the space that she intends to create for all students attending her classes. She received her 200 CYT from Universal Power Yoga and is currently training to receive her 300 CYT, making her a 500 hr certified yoga teacher. She is a lifelong learner and continued her spiritual education by becoming a first degree reiki practitioner in February 2023. By day, Katie teaches preschool and Kids Yoga. In her free time, she loves to travel, cook, play guitar, and connect with her loved ones.

I am by nature and by training a teacher. I teach in the Walpole public schools, and I have taught yoga with the belief that all of us are teachers and learners. Yoga is an activity that involves life long learning, as we are all at different stages of our practice. I completed my 200 RYT, and I am currently working towards my 300 RYT. In addition, I am certified in pre-natal yoga, trauma informed yoga, and yoga nidra.
