I went to my first yoga class at age 16 and there I found my love of Yoga, loving the sense of calm that it gave me. I have continued to practice Yoga throughout my life on and off from then on. I completed my RYT-200 hr teaching through Santosha Yoga Institute in 2022, where I learnt Hatha and Vinyasa style yoga and the principles and philosophies drawn from the Sri T Krishnamacharya lineage. I am currently working on my 50hr Yin Yoga training through Santosha Yoga Institute.

Kathy found yoga in her early twenties when she was teaching ballet. Her first yoga class blew her mind, but it was only after children and a few career changes, she finally fully embraced her love of the practice in earnest. Her practice led her to Shri Yoga where she completed her 200hr teacher training in 2017 with Julie Smerdon, learning the principles and philosophy of Anusara yoga. Kathy and her partner moved to Dalveen in December 2020 as part of a tree change. She is enjoying her animals on the farm and the sense of community her new life offers, including how welcoming and friendly everyone is at Yoga Tree Stanthorpe.
