I really recommend Katherine’s class. A wonderfully slow and calming class which can challenge and strengthen wherever you are with your yoga. I’ve found the sessions are a little holiday from the world around me and are comparable to an hour long massage!

'I have to say how much I enjoy your yoga classes. Always leave feeling much brighter and your tones / instructions really help with finding lovely space focus! I find your class deeply reassuring; both on a bodily level and feeling of being supported within online class group.'

'I've been joining the Yoking classes on a regular basis since last May and have found them to be huge support over this time, feeling more grounded and able to sleep better as a result!
As a beginner it was a great introduction into the practice, gaining knowledge around the teachings. My overall flexibility and balance have greatly improved!'

Great class. I’m a beginner and found that Katherine’s directions to be the same as if she were in the room - she’s really intuitive. I’m particularly grateful for the classes where she’s talked about breathing. I wear a FFP3 mask for work and was getting chest and diaphragm pain from sucking in air, but with a few simple tips this is no longer an issue for me.

The way Katherine describes each pose, each breathing technique and leads you into relaxation is blissful.'

Katherine's interest lies in how yoga can help throughout the different stages of life. She has experience teaching preschool - 75 year olds, including expectant Mothers during pregnancy, young professionals, females with perimenopause with endometriosis as well as those with reduced mobility post surgical intervention in chair yoga. 1-1's are an excellent means to reap the benefits of yoga specific to your needs, with consideration for the variables of health and medical history.
Katherine previously worked within the art world in London and set up a Breastfeeding Peer Support group for Westminster NCT managing the enrolment and training of a group of 14 Mothers to volunteer as Peer Supporters for local Surestart, Community Centres and Chelsea and Westminster NICU & maternity wards. Much of her journey towards yoga provision stems from inclusive initiatives around mental health and wellbeing.
The heart of Katherine's approach to all that she facilitates is the consideration of interconnectivity, support, equality and compassion for the wealth that direct attention & experience brings.
