Dana’a class never disappoints with her creative poses and sequences! She consistently challenges me and supports the growth in my yoga practice through her style of teaching.
Kathryn completed her
200-hour teacher training with Kathy Simonik in June of 2018.
Kathryn comes to Pulsation with an extensive background in teaching
movement of various kinds, including dance, group exercise, and
other physical activities geared toward a diverse population of
students. She has taught dance to special needs children and
adults, singers/performers, gymnasts, and even wedding parties.
Additionally, Kathryn specializes in adapting movement and exercise
for adults with cognitive, emotional, and physical challenges.
Progressing from these disciplines into Yoga presented itself as a
natural transition for Kathryn, when she started taking classes at
Pulsation in early 2017. “I fell in love with the discipline and
after years of limited activity, I felt like my body liked me
again!” Kathryn notes that her strength as a teacher lies in her
ability to make movement accessible to all individuals and in her
ability to communicate instructions clearly, in a language that is
easy to follow and understand. Alignment and injury prevention are
key components to her style of teaching, and the use of the breath
and mindfulness both bring a therapeutic aspect to her classes,
which has shown itself to be especially beneficial to her clients
in the mental health field. “Depression and anxiety can be greatly
alleviated by practices such as Yoga, meditation, and movement.
I’ve seen it in my professional work and have experienced it in my
own life as well.” Finally, fun and humor are ever-present elements
in Kathryn’s classes, where she encourages people to “leave
judgment at the door and just enjoy being you!”
