200 Hour RYT-Yogafit

Background:

With over 35 years of experience in the fitness industry, Kathy recently moved into 'semi-retirement' from a corporate career and is excited to have more time to focus on sharing her love for fitness and movement.

Kathy began her yoga journey in 2005 when she first attended a Baptiste Power Yoga weekend. She connected with the physicality of the practice, but even more with the emotional and spiritual energy of yoga. Since then, she has studied various forms of yoga and brings to her classes a melding of different yogic approaches.
