'Attending Kate's classes has been transformational for me, physically, mentally and spiritually. She is an inspirational and creative teacher of Iyengar yoga, the philosophy of which Kate explains with ease and clarity. Sessions with Kate are always engaging, encouraging and enlightening. She gently guides her students about the principles of subtle alignment and stability through the practice of asanas, while maintaining clear focus on awareness of breath. Intensity of practice is balanced by a final Savasana and I always leave Kate's classes feeling much better for having been there. Her highly honed skills and astute observation enable her to meet the differing needs of a range of students, from complete beginner to advanced practitioner. Kate is a wise, experienced and compassionate practitioner and I am very glad to have found her.' Susan B. |
'My journey to a fitter and healthier life started with Kate three years ago. After my first baby my body was much bigger and I found it very hard to do any exercise. Kate was then my personal trainer and I saw results within a few month, just before my holidays I had lost 5 kilo. I no longer PT with Kate but continued to attend her classes, I have attended her weekly Iyengar Yoga for beginners classes for the past two years. She also introduced me to Ayurveda, and I now follow a healthy Ayurvedic diet and herbal supplements. The result is I lost three stone, became more active and healthy, my body looks toned and much more flexible. This year I am continuing in Kate’s level 2 Iyengar yoga class. I recommend Kate’s classes to everybody!' Tanya M. |
'I’ve done quite a bit of yoga and I can honestly say Kate is one of the best teachers I’ve met. She has a lovely, warm, down-to-earth manner which builds confidence and makes the classes fun. She’s great at putting together varied sessions which link poses in interesting ways. Classes are well-pitched for different abilities and her use of props really help you to work with your own body, whatever stage you’re at. I look forward to Monday mornings!' Caroline B.
‘I’m finding the online classes really valuable, I did class 1 for the fourth time this morning and have realised how absolutely worthwhile it is to repeat the exact same class a few times! I learned a lot about warrior 1, tree pose and the detail about hand position in a sitting twist (and much more) - all postures I thought I knew reasonably well 😊. I'm really absorbing some of the Sanskrit names now. Thank you!’ Liz D.
'As a complete beginner, I was very apprehensive when attending my first yoga class as I had never participated in an activity like this before. I need not have been worried. A warm welcome greeted me and under Kate's guidance and patience you are always made you feel a valued member of the class regardless of how many times you wobble in a pose! I have come to treasure my Iyengar yoga practice. Kate has a wealth of knowledge and her skills as a teacher are fantastic. She always has a smile and her inner calm radiates in the class. With a busy lifestyle that so many of us have Kate’s classes have helped with my posture, stability and reducing the stress that comes with modern-day living.' Helen G.
'I was new to yoga and a bit stiff from lots of running when I first joined Kate’s class. She has an inclusive, friendly and supportive approach to help people new to yoga but also to stretch those who are more experienced (excuse the pun!). It is a winner and I was quickly hooked and have been going regularly now for over 6 months. I feel the benefit in my running and I am now more flexible. I also have an enjoyable but challenging hour each week which leaves me refreshed and ready to take on the next challenges!' Stuart L. |
'I started doing yoga approximately 2 years ago following a serious injury to my spine. Kate has been inspirational in helping me to mobilise. She is a kind and considerate teacher who pushes you (if you want to be pushed) but also supports and nurtures. My only regret is I did not start yoga many years ago and I feel envious of long term yoga students who are more flexible. Yoga and Kate help keep me flexible, mindful and fit for other challenges.' Angie M. |
'I got back in to yoga after a long absence and was apprehensive about joining a new group, I shouldn’t have worried ! I am determined through yoga to stay supple and can feel myself getting stronger all the time. There is always something new to learn and Kate manages to guide and coax, to get the most out of us all , irrespective of age and ability.' Liz N.
'My life is so much fuller and my body better since I started attending Iyengar yoga classes with Kate. She's attentive, kind and understanding about everyone's needs and really helps you individually with the poses.' Loreen H. |
'Kate is a great teacher. The attention to detail in her yoga classes has really helped my yoga practice. Her enthusiasm and knowledge really encourages you to get the most out of a class.' Jo R. |
'I have enjoyed Kate's classes for approximately 3 years. I have tried a number of different types of Yoga over the years and find that Kate's classes are set at the right pace for me, they help me to stretch, strengthen, improve but also unwind. Kate is a friendly easy-going teacher, who will help correct technique without you feeling embarrassed. I would highly recommend her classes to anyone whether your a practising yogi or a complete beginner, whatever your age, as everyone can work at their own level.' Gemma T.
