Katie has been teaching yoga and facilitating spaces for group learning and exploration in New Zealand since 2005. She is an ERYT-500,Yoga Teacher Trainer, and a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider.

Katie's yoga teaching blends supportive physical alignment into progressive, dynamic, and sustainable flow. Her intention is to cultivate a deeply intimate awareness in our practice so that what grows through yoga over the time is the possibility of really knowing ourselves and the empowerment of being able to make choices on and off the mat that truly serve us and those we relate with.

Deeply informed by long time studies in non-dual Tantra and current interests in applied psychology and Non Violent Communication (NVC), Katie weaves both practicality and soulful intention into her teaching in ways that are accessible, down to earth, and change making. 
 

Katie has offered yoga workshops, immersions and teacher trainings at studios across New Zealand and overseas. Outside of groups, she is devoted to sharing yoga in one-on-one rehabilitative and restorative sessions.

Katie is the original founder of Grassroots Yoga in Christchurch, the city where she lived and taught yoga for 11 years. Grassroots Yoga continues to thrive, remaining a centre of high calibre yoga instruction infused with intention and heart.
Katie now makes her home in Wellington where she lives with her partner Kether, enjoys sharing time with his two active 11 year old boys, humbly learns to mountain bike and surf, and grows daily in her love of the wild and windy south coast.
