Kat has been my yoga teacher for 2 years. Her studio has a very zen vibe to it and I always look forward to going there. The breath work we do can be calming or energizing depending on the intention. My practice has deepened in these 2 years. Along with breath work, the focus is on strength and balance. Kat is a dedicated teacher who meets you where you are. I can wholeheartedly recommend her!
It's my pleasure to recommend Kat's Yoga Studio. Kat is an incredible teacher. Personable, friendly and fun to be around. She teaches by example, passionate and inclusive. Her Breath classes are extraordinary.
I highly recommend Kat.
Kat exceeded expectations! Every time I'm in Napa I will be seeing Kat. She is a breath of fresh air, adjusts to your specific style of practice flawlessly and somehow manages to be the perfect balance of traditional and modern yoga. Professional, courteous, simply lovely and full of happiness and light.
Dear Kat - Your the bestest teacher "ever". Your peaceful wisdom is key to our classroom.
