At first, yoga for me was another fun form of movement, a low-impact way to cross-train and maintain the flexibility I had developed from gymnastics and martial arts. My approach was largely devoid of spirituality. As I continued to explore a variety of classes and teachers over the years and continents, I found myself becoming increasingly drawn to yoga’s energetic layers and the deep sense of clarity, peace and connection it gave me. Finding Zuna Yoga® completely changed my practice and perspective and has enriched my life in so many ways.

Seeking a deeper understanding of yoga, she completed her first 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training at Pure Yoga® NYC in 2010. The same year, she met her partner Everett, who introduced to the Tantric Hatha style of Zuna Yoga®. She was inspired by its richness, and this chance meeting was the start of an entirely new life chapter. She left her corporate job as a sales executive in 2013 to help refine and expand the Zuna Yoga® program. Katherine has completed additional training in Yoga Nidra, Integral Anatomy, Yoga Tune Up®, Anatomy Trains®, Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Thai Yoga Massage and Vipassana meditation.
