Hello,

My name is Katie. I am Mum to 2 beautiful children, Jack and Grace, Wife to an inspiring & supportive husband, Tim and dog mum to Goldie our Labradoodle.

I am a lover of Yoga, Walking and Coffee Drinking.

My Story

I had done the odd yoga class over the years but for some reason when I started yoga a few years ago it was love at first savasana and from that moment on I was hooked. I loved the mindfulness component and I always left yoga feeling like I was standing taller, like me limbs felt longer, my heart felt more open with peace in my mind. Ever since then yoga has penetrated deep within my soul and become a huge part of who I am. It has changed every aspect of my life, it has changed the way I’m a mum, wife, daughter and sister, and what’s really noticeable is how it’s changed the relationship I have with myself.   The reason I started was because I seemed drawn to it at that moment in time as I had just had my second baby and I knew I was craving something but I wasn’t sure what it was. The reason I keep coming back is because it makes me feel joy and happiness, it gives me a feeling of space and freedom and by spending sacred time on my mat with myself and mindful movement I feel more appreciation and gratitude towards myself and my world. As I continue to practice and learn I see so many changes in my mind and body and the biggest one to date has been my breath, through practising yoga my breath has gone from being short and shallow to being long, smooth and rhythmical. I’ve also noticed my body transform and gradually over time I can soften into poses in a way I had never imaged I would.  

I strive to live yoga on and off the mat and every day I find it easier to integrate my yoga into day to day life, thoughts and actions and I’m getting better at dealing with those moments of stress and panic and being flustered and I’m now choosing to react to things differently. I’m lucky enough to have a husband and 2 kids that are extremely supportive and encouraging of my yoga adventure and they could not be more proud of their yogi mumma.   My background has mostly been in administration and more recently with our own coffee business. As cliche` as it sounds I really believe I’ve found my purpose in life and that’s to be the best yogi mum I can and to share the teachings of yoga with others. I actually feel it’s my calling, something that I have a responsibility to do and one of the proudest moments for me was completing my Level 1 Yoga Teacher Training. I’d love to help people discover the benefits of yoga and dispel the yoga myths out there and I’d love to help others see that yoga has a way of giving us what we need and can add immeasurable value to our lives. I used to describe myself as a quitter and someone who encouraged others but not myself anm very pleased to say I smashed those beliefs away and now I’m working hard on living yoga on and off the mat, practising, teaching and continuing my learning.
