With a background in long distance running, back-country skiing and other outdoor sports, Kate has a good understanding of the needs of active people. She began to shift her focus to yoga in 1998 after eight years as a massage therapist. She has trained in India, San Francisco, Calgary and Montreal, completing a year-long intensive training with Allison Ulan and Mark Darby in 2004. She has taken workshops and teacher trainings with Richard Freeman, Chuck Miller, Karen Haberman, Father Joe and Larry Schultz, and is currently studying with Hart Lazer. Enjoying the breath-movement connection that the vinyasa flow provides, Kate continues to explore breath and prana and how they connect us to our true selves. Also a mother of two, her family life inspires her to be as present and in the moment as possible—in fact, her children have taught her the most valuable lessons in yoga!
