I'm Kate, I’m a yoga teacher, bodyworker, and songwriter based between Wales and Bristol. My work centres around connection to the body, and to the natural world.

I’ve been practising yoga for over a decade. I began when I was studying music in Bristol and started going to classes every day. It quickly became a habit and I realised a practice and dicipline much more than exercise. It was therapeutic, grounding, and felt in some ways like I was discovering my body for the first time. Seeing myself in all different angles and postures helped me develop a deeper relationship with myself, and being in a room full of moving, breathing bodies had a powerful effect on me.

Since then I’ve completed a 200-hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training, a 50-hour Restorative Yoga Training, and a 100-hour Sivananda Intensive, as well as a Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification. I’m currently studying Pregnancy Yoga Teacher training and Shamanic Practices, both of which continue to shape how I understand the body and our connection to the land and to each other.

My teaching focuses on slowing down and tuning in; going inwards and also exploring flow; paying attention to the transitions between postures, and allowing the class to feel like a whole being; its own story with a beginning, middle, and end. I'm interested in how we can find a more attentive, curious and honest relationship with our bodies and how strength and softness can coexist, how movement can be fluid and expressive, how rest can be a powerful action and how our practices can remind us of what is present and alive within us.

Nature has always been a teacher and a refuge for me. As a young person, I spent a lot of time in solitude outdoors, often when I should have been at school. It felt alive with more substance than walls and desks. Being outside fed my senses and reminded me that I have a body, lungs, I breathe I have a heartbeat, and I am an animal on this Earth.

I'm grateful to have grown up in a family of year-round outdoor swimmers, and that ritual of immersion has stayed with me. It’s a reminder of the wildness we carry within us and the grounding, healing power of connecting with the elements. 

Walking, weightlifting, swimming, and spending time outdoors continues to shape my personal practices, my teaching, and my life.

Alongside teaching, I write and record my own music. Songwriting is another way for me to explore embodiment and emotion. For me it is a  practice of listening, expressing, and tuning in to what moves through. I also love to bring elements of my music into classes, exploring that crossover between different sensory experiences.  

Whether through yoga, bodywork, or music, my hope is to create spaces where people can feel held enough to tune in with themselves, to be open to their experience and practice with honesty, curiosity, and care.
