“I’m Irish. I do what I want.” — Bono

My most profound learning has come through the practice of Yoga. I’ve practiced since 2006 and taught since 2007. With nearly 1,000 hours of training and more than 5,000 hours of teaching experience, I share Yoga as it was intended—a liberatory pedagogy balancing tradition and modern insight. My teaching centers breath and embodiment, blending ancient philosophy, neuroscience, trauma-informed practice, and Ayurvedic wisdom—all grounded in humanist and relational principles.

Over the past two decades, I’ve taught in nearly every setting imaginable, from private studios to major universities—including the University of Michigan, Princeton, Smith College, UC Davis, and Sacramento State. My classes offer Yoga not as something we do, but as something we are—a living, evolving practice for human development. Students are invited to connect deeply with the heart of their being and rediscover their innate value and wholeness.

I began my journey at Integral Yoga Institute in New York City with Kali Morse, continued at the Dharma Yoga Center, and later studied at Brooklyn Yoga School with Lily Cushman. In 2021, I completed my 300-hour Advanced Teacher Training with Sarahjoy Marsh, and in 2023, my credentials advanced to E-RYT 500. I now lead workshops and trainings while completing an accredited 800-hour Yoga Therapy program.

In January 2025, I relocated to Salt Lake City to re-embark on my social work and yoga therapy career—earning my LMSW and working in treatment centers and IOP settings. Alongside this return to clinical and therapeutic practice, I’m exploring Utah’s stunning national parks and vast wilderness, reconnecting with nature as my greatest teacher.

My spiritual, philosophical, and educational influences include Nature, Krishnamurti, Patanjali, Satchidananda, the Buddha, Jesus, Merleau-Ponty, the Frankfurt School, Jane Goodall, Black and queer feminist thinkers, Robin Hood, and Bob Dylan.

Namaste,
Kate
