Kate Thomas - Bio
I took my first yoga class more than 20 years ago, but raising kids, caring for aging family members, and volunteering in my community was how I chose to spend most of my time. My focus was in service of others and my health and wellness began to decline as I tried to continue pouring from an empty cup. This realization is what lead me to develop a stronger and more consistent practice. I focused on fine tuning my alignment in poses, and linking breath with movement for years, but I still approached yoga primarily as a physical practice.
In 2019, I decided to take a 200-hr YTT to better understand my asana practice. This was life changing for me. During my training I discovered what my practice had been lacking. The belief that yoga is more than movement, more than breath. What I practiced on my mat started to show up in my everyday life. I began to live in yoga. To me, living in yoga means living in kindness and compassion.
Upon completion of my training, I jumped right into teaching vinyasa, slow flow, vin yin, and restorative yoga classes. To further my understanding of the benefits of yin and restorative yoga, I completed an additional 100 hour training of Advance Yin and Restorative Yoga. While I still enjoy a personal practice of vinyasa, I’ve fallen in love with practicing and teaching yin yoga. I appreciate how yin yoga cultivates stillness, softness, and acceptance by safely exercising the deeper joint and connective tissues to encourage opening and the flow of energy within the body. I feel a tremendous amount of gratitude for the opportunity I have to share this beautiful experience with others.
