*A note from Kate- I’ve been teaching movement since the early 1990’s, when I was asked as an older teen to instuct younger students as a part of a dance scholarship program. The environment was intense, but I felt intuitively from my first moments in that classroom that my highest objective was to convey movement in a way that supported the overall health and well being of those young students. I continued to teach dance throughoughout my twenties while earning a degree in dance, and in my early thirties while performing regionally. During that time, I focused on developing curricula and methods that supported healthy technique, long-term well-being, individualized learning, and joy in movement. My personal yoga practice helped guide and support me during that time.

I became a teacher of yoga in 2009 and have been directing Shelburne Falls Yoga since 2011. Fifteen years and  over 8,000 hours of yoga instruction later, I’ve learned many techniques and strategies since those early days as a new yoga teacher. But the heart of my teaching- offering a healthy and supportive space to explore new skills that help sustain long-term health- remains unchanged. I look forward to working with you and exploring the varied and wonderful practice of yoga!
