A long time competitive runner and volleyball player, Kate turned to yoga eight years ago after struggling with various knee and ankle injuries. She completed the Bikram Yoga Teacher Training course in the Fall of 2003 and went on to teach Hot Yoga in both Montréal and New York City.

After studying Ashtanga with Darby, Kate returned to Southern California in 2005 and 2008 to practice with Jodi Blumstein, Suzy Gill, Vinnie Marino, Annie Carpenter and Diana Christinson. Kate has been teaching Ashtanga, Flow and Yin yoga for over 5 years and recently graduated from the YogaWorks 500 hour Professional Program.

Her classes draw inspiration from a variety of sources, including ancient texts, popular culture, poetry, philosophy, jazz and world music.

Off of the mat, Kate may be found on her snowboard, hiking with her dog, Guillaume, or creating gourmet raw food meals for her family and friends.
