Arise Yoga Crown Heights

Katie has been a lover of movement for all her life. She started dancing at age three and has spent the last 25 years dedicated to the art form. Her professional dance career led her to yoga, and her love for the practice (on and off the mat) has been deepening ever since.In 2016, Katie earned her 200hr Yoga Alliance certification from the Yandara Yoga Institute in Baja California, Mexico. She teaches both group and private classes to students of all ages and abilities, and can offer modifications for injuries on a case by case basis. Katie draws on her 25 years of dance experience and her unique understanding of the body in motion to deepen her teaching practice. Her extensive body awareness allows her to teach Vinyasa flow classes that focus on finding ease in movement, healthy alignment, the connection of movement to breath, and releasing past limitations. Katie is most passionate about helping others discover their internal sense of joy and empowerment through bodily movement.When she is not dancing/teaching/practicing, you can usually find Katie running in Prospect park, curled up with a good book, or spending time with friends and family.
