Testimonials

I had tried many different types of yoga prior to meeting Kathy. And I always got injured and disillusioned! And then she introduced me to Iyengar and my life changed. My body changed. It became more agile, more strong, more flexible. I loved the feeling. I still do. Kathy is incredibly articulate, knows the body inside out, and can guide you to perfection. And she's patient!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

After suffering debilitating and chronic back pain, 6 years ago I was introduced to Kathy in her teaching. Through her meticulous and precise approach to form, alignment, and breathe, I found a teacher for not only my yoga practice but for everyday life. Kathy has inspired me to integrate yoga to work and bring my practice home. I can’t recommend Kathy highly enough. Her generosity and compassion are infectious within the classroom. Thank you so much, Kathy.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Kathy has been our teacher in Bali for about eight years. She’s one of the best teachers I’ve ever had.. She keeps us all challenged and encouraged. When I had a neck hernia, and I had severe pain, Kathy was the only one I trusted to take yoga with, to correct me. She increased my awareness of my posture, and how to increase the flow of energy in the neck area. I’m very grateful for Kathy. Whenever I am in Bali, I will always go back to her and take her classes

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’ve been doing yoga with Kathy for about five years now. I love the class. One of the things I especially enjoy is that Kathy gives very precise and clear instructions so that I know if I’m doing the asanas or the poses correctly. By the end of the class, I’m feeling amazing.
