Yoga found me when I was 11 years old. I wandered into a studio down my street and have been down-doggin’ since. At 17 I signed up for my first teacher training at Santa Monica Yoga where I was introduced to my beloved Ashtanga Yoga. At Sarah Lawrence College, I found ballet and modern dance. With confidence to choreograph and create, vinyasa started flowing through me, and we’ve been quite a pair since. Yoga heals and soothes – my practice is my happy place.
HOMETOWN: Redondo Beach, CA
FAVORITE SONG/ARTIST: Heartbeats by the Knife (I like Josè Gonzalez’s cover, too!)
ODD FACT: I learned how to ride a bike this year and can’t get enough of these canyon trails!
MY STEEZ: My sequences are challenging, so the savasana is well-earned! Showing up is most of the battle. If we can get out of our own ways (read: just get onto the mat), all the tired-aching-traffic-not-enough-time-today talk will melt away. I’ve never left the mat regretful I've spent my hours there!
In this practice, connect and establish the fire in the core of your being. Great for starting to explore core work and pilates. You will need a pair of blocks and a small towel for sliding.
Let's spend some time on the legs today with the SOFT foam roller.
Playlist: choose your own :)
Katherine leads a slow flow. Long warm-up, long cool-down, with just enough effort to get you in the mood to relax. You will need a bolster, a few blankets, and blocks.
