yoga and meditation

Katie is a qualified vinyasa, yin and meditation teacher. Yoga is the practice of linking  breath and movement; breathing and  moving the body in a therapeutic and observational way, finding the balance with softening and strengthening. Getting out of the head and into your body. Yoga prepares the body for meditation. 

 Meditation is the observation of the fluctuations within the mind. Yoga and meditation is the perfect way to reduce stress and anxiety, improve performance and learn more about yourself.

Katie began her yoga practice at age 18 in a shared room in Earls Court, London from a Hatha Yoga Book. She’s can’t remember why she started practice, though suspects it might have had something to do with Christy Turlington, but what kept her practice was the grounding and support she didn’t fully understand at the time. Katie went on to practice bikram yoga, Ashtanga and finally vinyasa and Yin. Yoga has always been present, either a little or a lot since those late teenage days.

Katie completed her vinyasa teacher training through yoga medicine in 2015, Yin with Jo Phee in 2016 and meditation training in 2017. Katie teaches at various studios around Perth including; Twisting Peacock Yoga and Cntrespace. She is also available for one on ones and corporates. Katie says Yoga has always felt good in her body and more importantly, her mind. She hopes to leave her students feeling better than when they first started.

BREATHWORK

Katie is a qualified Breathwork Teacher. Katie completed her training in Bali during 2020. Katie's passion lies within our deeper connection and understanding to self and the connection to breath and prana in that connection. Look closely enough and you will find breathwork is woven into every ancient teaching throughout history. These ancient teachings knew the importance of harnessing Prana, the life force energy circulating through us, cultivating and harmonising this energy through breathing patterns and techniques. Katie’s teachings are based around various breathwork patterns designed to mobilise the diaphragm, creating expansion and elongation of the breath cycle and freeing the respiratory system channels. When the breath is used in this way, it helps to increase supply of oxygen through the body, increasing inner vitality and peace. Through breathwork there is a bypassing of the mental chatter within the mind to create space for clarity and wisdom and an ushering of the nervous system to a place of balance, favouring a parasympathetic response.

Katie's goal as a teacher is to create a safe space for her students to connect to their bodies, explore the deeper layers of mental and emotional bodies and to feel better than when they started.
