Hi Friends,
Teaching yoga foundations has been one of the most fulfilling, instructive, and inspiring experiences for me as a teacher. It's kind of like starting a garden, we get an expansive perspective on what sits within us and the potential that lies there, and then we get into the dirt and plant seeds that will nourish us for a lifetime.
Below are the details.
Harness Your Power, Open
Your Heart: A Six-Week Introduction to Yoga Essentials
This
six-week yoga foundations series is an ideal introduction to the yoga
practice. It is thoughtfully and
progressively designed for those who have never tried yoga before and can be a
great refresher for those students who have some experience but want to refine
their understanding of the basics. This series offers:
~ An
introduction to the basic classes of yoga poses including standing poses,
forward bends, basic twists, backbends, and inversions. You will learn the form
and name of poses that you will commonly encounter in an all level/mixed level
yoga class.
~ An
overview of the foundational alignment necessary for the optimal movement of
your body as you practice. This will teach you how to move on your mat (and in
your daily life!) so that you can get the most out of your yoga experience,
open and heal tight spots, build strength and flexibility, and prevent future
injury.
~ Introduction
to the basic breathing practices used in yoga.
~A
window into the rich philosophy at the root of the yoga practice, which gives a
greater context into which you can put your experience.
Yoga
is an invitation to harness your personal power in service of your potential. Come and explore what this means for
you in a thoughtful, supportive, inspired atmosphere.

What students had to say
about the series…
"Taking the Foundations series with Kate made my life
better. This series was my first time doing yoga and I was nervous, but
the weekly classes made me feel comfortable and proud to roll out my mat and
find my breath. Yoga is now a part of my life and I'm so happy to say it
began in Kate's class." -Anna Ardizzone
"Kate is a knowledgeable, patient, and thorough instructor.
Through her guidance in class and after class, I was able to understand the
physical mechanics of what we were doing, and almost more importantly to me,
the physiological and philosophical why. I am convinced that had this
been a single class or even two classes, I would not have come to this
important physical and mental understanding. I couldn’t think of a
better way to be introduced to the potential the practice of yoga holds."
