Testimonials
I have had eleven disc’s removed from my spine. I regularly practice Yoga therapy with Kat on Youtube for lower back pain. Yoga has always terrified me, knowing there was no way someone like me could even begin to do it! I first watched your video through once, trying some of the exercises you demonstrated. The second time, I was able to go all the way through! Much to my amazement, I found it to be a very fine balance of therapeutic stretching, exercise and relaxation. Immediately my pain was lessened by half and I felt fabulous!
Sincerely,
Jamie A Paulsen, R.N., Seatlle WA

New to yoga, I was first introduced to Kat through a yoga class she was teaching many years ago. Through the years, I’ve taken many classes with many instructors. The difference is how she applied her experience & extensive training with a compassionate heart for healing. I am fortunate to be one of her personal clients.

“I’ve been taking yoga from Kat since January of 2007. Through her instruction and guidance she has helped me to transform my life. There is something special about going through life’s journeys with her by my side. Life has it’s ups and downs, and over the course of 8 years, through yoga, Kat has helped to see me through it all.
Kat often reminds her clients that yoga is for everyone — and she’s right. No matter my age, physical or mental condition or temperament, I’ve found that regular yoga practice enhances my life, no matter what. Yoga makes the good times brighter and more joyful and gives me the mental, physical and emotional strength to face the bumps in the road. Kat is an intelligent and skilled yoga therapist, who I trust.
