I would agree with the statement that this studio is perfect for the serious yoga student. Yoga studios are much more commonplace nowadays, but not all focus so intently on the energetic elements. Yoga at SLYC is far more than simply stretching; each class honors the body/mind/spirit connection and is rooted in the energetic value of human movement. I love the variation, nothing is forgotten or left behind as we practice through the week. While each instructor brings their own energy, there is cohesion throughout their intructions. I always feel at home, cared for, supported, and restored by my practice with their expert leadership. Namaste
Kate Yanke completed her 500 hour Vinyasa Flow teacher
training certification with YogaOne. She began her yoga practice in
2003 and hasn't looked back since! Kate has studied Power Yoga and
Vinyasa Flow through various teachers, but takes her greatest
influence and inspiration from Trish Washburn and Meg Galarza. With
a background in dance and competitive swimming, Kate finds herself
drawn to a strong, fluid, and dynamic practice on the mat. She is
passionate about the benefits of movement and breath for body,
mind, and spirit. She hopes to help her students find joy in their
own Yoga practice and to also take the time to find the joy in
their lives. Life is too short to not have fun living it! In
addition to loving yoga, Kate also loves to surf, stand-up paddle
board, cook and spend time with her husband, Scott, and
spoiled-rotten dog, Frank.
