Kathleen is a lifelong mover by trade, hobby, and language. She offers private yoga and movement instruction with an emphasis on your agency as a client and creative investigation. Kathleen is a licensed yoga instructor and specializes in working with clients who have scoliosis, using tools from her extensive movement background to help them gain mobility, strength, postural improvement and confidence.

Kathleen also has experience working with diverse populations, from beginners in their 60’s and 70’s to professional dancers. Her sessions focus on strength and mobility, beginner instruction, sustainable practice plans, and body awareness to help her clients integrate their practice outside of sessions.⁣ She works with clients 1-on-1 or in duets.

Kathleen began practicing yoga while dancing professionally in San Francisco and New York, and she completed her 200-hr teacher training at YogaWorks in Brooklyn. She went on to study Massage Therapy at Orion Institute, and she holds a BFA in Ballet from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. She hopes to create spaces for others seeking a refuge for self-study through movement and breath, and she believes that observing sensation is the first step in listening to ourselves.
