Kathy's Yoga

"Kathy introduced me to yoga in 1989 when I was pregnant. I moved from Alaska about 15 years ago and have attended various yoga classes since trying to get back into it but have been disappointed each time. Have found no one else who can measure up to Kathy''s teaching style. She was so wonderful at watching and correcting each pose as needed to ensure her students didn't hurt themselves and got the most out of each pose. Wish she was here!"

"I am a second generation student of Kathy; my mother first took classes from her in the 1980s while pregnant with my younger sister. I have studied with Kathy for more than a decade, and her teaching is the very best. She is kind, attentive, and dedicated to her yoga students, and is always learning and finding new information for us. Students of any level can join her classes, as her teaching style works well for both beginners and intermediates. I am a classical pianist, and Kathy has helped me tremendously with staying relaxed, aligned, and centered while playing the piano. She also graciously gave me individual teaching during classes while I was pregnant with my two children – without interrupting the flow of instruction for the rest of the class! She adjusts her teaching to accommodate each person, no matter what your individual issues or restrictions are. Iyengar yoga is a gentle, supported approach to finding strength, flexibility, and alignment and becoming more aware of your physical, emotional, and spiritual self. I highly recommend Kathy's Yoga to everyone looking to create more balance in their lives."

"I have been studying yoga with Kathy since 1999 and I absolutely love it. It's not, she likes to remind students, "gym yoga." It's yoga as spiritual practice. Not only has Kathy's teaching help me prevent and heal physical injuries over the years, it has also given me the skills to cope with life's inevitable difficult periods. I highly recommend Kathy's yoga to anyone thinking about starting a yoga practice."

"I have practiced yoga with Kathy on and off for 10 years. She has been teaching Iyengar style yoga in Anchorage for 50 years and is the real deal. Be warned, there is no music, or headstands. You will not get a “hard workout”. What you will get is what Yoga is meant to do: put you in touch with your body, mind, nervous system and well-being through breath and deliberate movement. I found Kathy when I was in chronic pain and learned over time that I could trust her to work with my limitations. Over time I found significant relief and increased range of motion. Kathy’s yoga teaching also helped manage my associated stress and anxiety that came with feeling poorly all the time. I would recommend Kathy’s Yoga without hesitation to anyone, regardless of age, yoga experience or physical condition. Her knowledge of physiology is unparalleled. She is constantly learning and looking for new ways to get into the body to help her improve her students lives."

"I love Kathy's yoga because she is very aware and tries to meet the needs of the individuals within the class, beginners and more experienced members. She recognizes that we can't do some of the poses and she focuses on correct alignment and props to assist us in getting there."
