Kate | Yoga

Kate has an amazing ability to know just what you need to rejuvenate and enliven your mind, body & soul. In individual sessions, she can personalize your yoga experience to your specific needs on any given day. As a beginner, she takes me through asanas that match my energy and ability levels, ending up with meditative, restful poses that focus on the breath. I find I can use the breathing to refresh my spirit anytime, anyplace: in the car, in the middle of a business meeting, anywhere. My wife, who is more advanced in yoga than I am, has been thrilled with how Kate can help challenge, deepen, and expand her practice. I am also interested in applying yogic philosophy in my personal life. Kate's insights have helped me transform challenging relationships into affirming ones by "speaking light to light." I leave each session feeling well nourished in mind, body, and spirit.

Yoga Doesn't Get Any Better Than This

Before taking classes with Kate Hillman, yoga meant large, impersonal classes in which everyone was expected and often admonished to conform to rigid poses and push our bodies past a point that I felt was wise. To me, yoga was a rather painful and boring way to get a workout.

Enter Kate Yoga, owned and operated by Kate Hillman. Kate's approach to yoga is personable, educational, and geared towards finding and helping each student come to terms with his/her body's needs and limitations. For some, this means working to accomodate an injury. For others, it means working on strength or flexibility. Whatever the issue, Kate takes the time to know and understand it, thereby insuring that each of her students gets the maximum benefit out of yoga practice.

Other practical things to appreciate about Kate Yoga include:
- Small group classes that allow Kate to give each student time and attention
- A convenient location with ample parking
- An appealing and restful environment conducive to healing
- Reasonable prices
- A well designed web site that allows you to purchase and pre-enroll in classes

Whether you are an experienced pro or a total beginner, you owe it to yourself to take some classes with Kate Hillman.

Kate Yoga offers you one of the most unique experiences in taking yoga. The classes are kept small so that Kate is able to customize the class based on the students' needs. She pays great attention to your particular body's strengths and weaknesses so that you can access the most out of each pose. I love beginning and ending each class with mindful breathing that both centers me and allows me to stay present with myself and others throughout the day. Kate's knowledge, warmth, and sensitivity make me feel safe and I always feel inspired to come back and learn more from her.

Kate's long time study of the yoga tradition comes out in the integrity of her work and the students she teaches, who embody what they are taught. No other yoga studio that I have found gives you such a well balanced and integrative practice.
