About me
I have been practising yoga for over 30 years but it took time to realise it was more than just a physical practice. As well as releasing tension in my body, it clears my mind and through pranayama and relaxation techniques triggers the relaxation response/parasympathetic nervous system.
I completed my British Wheel of Yoga Teacher Training (500 hour Diploma) with Rosie Wright, she brought my awareness to the alignment and strength in a pose through teaching cues and subtle adjustments – it transformed my own practice. I use this method in my teaching today.
I have recently moved back to the UK after living in Spain for a period of time, and I am starting to re-establish my yoga classes.
During that time, I completed my training with Petra Coveney in Menopause Yoga and now teach workshops to women in all stages of the menopause.
I love teaching yoga and I love practising yoga – my time on my mat is never wasted whether it’s for 5 minutes or 90. It has shaped who I am today. I want to share this passion and inspire others on their yoga journey.

Reviews
“I am so glad to have found Kate’s yoga classes. She varies the lessons and keeps them interesting. She always explains how the exercises will help my body and mind. She explains how to get into and out of poses safely and has tips on how not to damage the joints. Yoga with Kate has helped my posture, balance, core strength and positivity.
As I’ve got older my neck aches more and I find yoga exercises very helpful to stretch and strengthen it – plus these exercises can be done anywhere not just on the yoga mat. The same with the breathing exercises that I have learned in yoga – they are very useful at other times of the day to relieve stress and they help me to sleep at night.”

“Sleep problems have bothered me for over 10 years and the ability to relax and breathe will definitely help. The nidra was amazing. It’s really informative and great to follow on from previous workshops. Great group of people and the numbers were perfect.”
