Kate has been committed to health and fitness as both a fitness instructor and student for more than fifteen years. She received her 200-hour certitification and advanced teacher training with Ana Forrest in 2005. Upon joining the Elemental Yoga 500-hour Teacher Training Program in 2007, Kate turned the focus of her own practice to the Elemental Yoga alignment-based style of slow vinyasa that systematically heals the mind and body. With an emphasis on alignment, transitions, and mindfulness, she has been able to heal injuries and imbalances in her own body and mind; these personal experiences have been instrumental in framing her teaching in both group and private settings. Beyond teaching Elemental Yoga, Kate has also worked in clinical settings, helping patients with diet and nutrition; she volunteers at Emerson Hospital’s Oncology Department, in nursing homes, and teaches yoga to teens and pre-teens. Kate’s passion is to empower people with the ability to heal themselves through yoga.
