RYT200 Yoga Teacher Training

The funny thing is...
I didn't even want to become a yoga teacher.  I started my RYT200 Teacher Training program purely for personal development.  As part of my program, I was able to apprentice teach my own class, and my passion for teaching was  re-ignited.  

Becoming a teacher of teachers was a whole new journey of learning and personal development.  I love supporting others on their own journey of transformation and personal discovery.

I am the Lead Trainer for the RYT200 Yoga Teacher Training Program at Santosha School.  I welcome opportunities to teach workshops or support other Yoga Teacher Training programs.
 
Classes I teach include:

• Ayurveda (gardening health care), to learn how to adapt practices to different ages, body types, seasons, climates, and conditions
• Bodywork and Anatomy, to work physically with others
• Breathing and Meditation
• Chanting, to lead meaningful group rituals and experience the fast track to bliss
• ​Communication and conduct, to navigate teacher-student relationships
• Emotional Health, to transform beyond patterns or behaviors that no longer serve you
• Sanskrit and philosophy, to establish the intellectual framework from which the teachings of yoga have grown and been preserved.
• ​Yoga Personal Coaching, to adapt the tools of yoga to individuals' needs
• Teaching lab, to practice teaching in small increments in a group format, to have weekly community with other trainee
• ​Yoga lab, to understand modifications, alignment principlies, and how to assist/adjust yoga postures

Kathy's authentic nature and kind way of teaching makes you want to learn more and more from her. She is a powerhouse of knowledge and good medicine for anyone walking the yogic path. - Tracy, studio owner

​Kathy has served as my mentor and dean of students over the past several years at Santosha School.  I've had the privilege of working with Kathy 1 on 1 on emotional healing, and  nonviolent communication. As dean of students at Santosha school, Kathy taught many of the classes required for the RYT200 yoga teacher training. In addition to teaching,  she mentored me through the 650 hours that were required for graduation. Her patience and willingness to listen were very helpful on my journey. My favorite classes with Kathy include bodywork, chanting and yoga.  It is an inspiration when your teacher loves and models what they teach. Kathy is the real deal and it is a joy to have her on my team."  – Linda

I've worked with Kathy for about 2.5 years. She started as my yoga teacher and has become a mentor in building my own yogic practices and lifestyle. What I've really enjoyed about her is that she a great listener and can reflect back to you what you need in the moment. She provides structure when needed, and is also flexible to change based on what she may see physically, mentally, or spiritually. She operates from a place of compassion and joy. She challenges me in my practice, and has helped me to be more confident in yoga and in life. I can't recommend her enough to anyone building their yoga practice. - Allie
