Biography

Bio

Kate is a yoga teacher based on Wadawurrung Country in Ballarat, Victoria.

Kate began practicing yoga in 1998, regular practice eventually inspired her to undertake teacher training from 2020 onwards.

She is deeply interested in both the physical and emotional benefits of yoga.

How might we practice yoga to energise, calm, heal and to open ourselves to new possibilities? How can we stay curious about ourselves in this practice?

Kate promotes regular somatic practices (even a few minutes a day!) which will allow us to experience improved flexibility and mobility, nervous system regulation and greater self-awareness.

She gently guides asana using a trauma-informed approach and encourages practice in a way that is kind, compassionate and appropriate for each student – taking into account energy levels, injuries, emotions and current life circumstances.

Kate is a registered 500hr yoga teacher, her qualifications include:

  • 500 hour YTT (Ambika Chadwick, The Yoga Social)
  • 12 month mentorship (Jill Harris, Kyo Yoga)
  • Foundations of trauma informed practice (The Blue Knot Foundation)
  • Yoga for Menopause (Liz Williams, Yoga Therapy Institute)
  • Mastering Simplicity (Donna Farhi, ongoing)
