I have been practicing yoga for approximately 25 years. I qualified in Sivananda Yoga in Neyyar Dam, India in 2006 and have been teaching classes since 2007. I teach a strong flow class (power yoga) which incorporates Hatha and Ashtanga principles.

I taught regularly at Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre for 3 years and provided cover for The Marlow Club and Kubu Spa in Henley-on-Thames before relocating to Reading, Berkshire.

Before Covid-19 I was a cover teacher at The Club at Mapledurham and Caversham Health and Fitness. I also ran 'drop in' power yoga classes on Monday and Thursday evenings at Emmer Green Youth and Community Centre and Tuesday mornings at St. Barnabas Hall next door to St. Barnabas Church.

During lockdown I started my own YouTube channel enabling people to practice yoga in their own homes and since the end of lockdown I have begun running drop in classes once again on Monday evenings at The Hill Primary School in Emmer Green, Reading.

Yoga has and is an integral part of my life. My goal is to share yoga with everyone and end the misconceptions that you have to be flexible or a certain body type to practice .

My rewards as a teacher are hearing and seeing how my students progress. It's fantastic to know that yoga transforms people and that the back aches and general niggles they've endured disappear after a couple of classes. I am very blessed to have met a lot of wonderful people on my yoga journey and continue to do so.

Great class. Really enjoyable. I started as a novice but Kate takes the time so that you're not intimidated. Not always an easy class but you leave feeling better than when you arrived.”
