Katie A
Katie first discovered yoga 8 years ago when she was studying at university. In 2016 she became more fascinated with the practice, going to classes almost every day in and around Manchester, Bikram hot yoga and Ashtanga were her go to. Her personal practice has evolved over the years, she’s learned to listen more to her body and what she needs. “What I love about yoga, is that it’s not about what it looks like, but more about how it feels.” “The practice is your own personally journey inward, as a practitioner I am there to guide you to find out what feels good for you.” In 2018 I packed up my corporate life in Manchester and headed to India for 8 months of travel, seeking as much yoga as possible - it was here that I completed my 200 hour YTT. Since then I have completed a 50 hour Yin teacher training and spent 3 months in Bali delving deeper into my own personal practice. Off the mat Katie is a bit of a travel addict, she loves seeing the world and experiencing all types of cultures and of course yoga. In the last year Katie as been building her brand “Calm with Katie” where she combines all of her knowledge in mindset, movement and meditation to approach the world of coaching. Her go to mantra for life is “feel the fear and do it anyway” - encouraging herself and others to step into their power whether that’s on or off the mat. Katie’s classes are open for all levels, she offers variations throughout encouraging you to listen to your body and reminding you that this is a personal practice. Somedays may be slow and intuitive whilst others may feel a little more powerful, she encourages students to approach their practice with an open mind and an open heart. ❤️ She cannot wait to meet you all and share pockets of knowledge on this wonderful ancient practice.
