I completed my level 1 yoga teacher training at Santosha Yoga institute Byron Bay in November of 2024. I have a deep passion for community and healing and aim to do further study. I am currently completing a 50hr course in meditation and have enrolled for to do a course in Breathwork to complete in March.

Kathy found yoga in her early twenties when she was teaching ballet. Her first yoga class blew her mind, but it was only after children and a few career changes, she finally fully embraced her love of the practice in earnest. Her practice led her to Shri Yoga where she completed her 200hr teacher training in 2017 with Julie Smerdon, learning the principles and philosophy of Anusara yoga. Kathy and her partner moved to Dalveen in December 2020 as part of a tree change. She is enjoying her animals on the farm and the sense of community her new life offers, including how welcoming and friendly everyone is at Yoga Tree Stanthorpe.
