A competitive swimmer throughout her life, Kate turned to yoga looking to exercise her mind and her body in a way that wasn't so results driven. Yoga has given Kate a deeper sense of balance, compassion, and awareness in the spiritual, mental and physical realms.

Kate taught elementary school within the Durham Public School system for 5 years prior to teaching yoga. She encourages her yoga students to bring a child-like playfulness and curiosity to their mats and practices. Kate is certified at the 200hr level through OM Yoga (NYC). She believes that the roles of student and teacher are interchangeable and attends workshops and trainings whenever possible.

Kate's classes are upbeat, focused on alignment, breath, and yoga as a moving meditation. She strives to support, encourage and inspire her students to experience the grace, beauty, and joy that yoga has to offer!

Kate lives in Durham with her husband, Scott, babies, Leo and Ella (born December 17, 2009) and golden retriever, Benson. Contact Kate here.
