Hi friends,
My goal through my online offerings is to bring the same level of care and energy that I bring to each class, to the virtual space. There's something for everyone's comfort level and lifestyle. If you're in Toronto and want to practice in-person, please visit 889 Community. I am teaching Saturday 9 am, Tuesday's 12:30 pm and Thursday's 9:30 am. (They are also available on ClassPass - which is the most cost-effective way to join a class!). I hope to see you on the mat soon. Kathy PS: Looking to spread your wings on an upcoming retreat?

"All that to say I'm grateful for this Zoom yoga community you've cultivated. It's been a constant light that I look forward to each week. You're helping me manage my stress and bring my nervous system back down to Earth, all while making me smile." Kattie, July 2022 |

Power Flow Yoga
Give yourself an hour to move with breath and take a well-deserved break from it all.
This class will take it up a notch with more core sequences, faster flows and exploration of more advanced poses (nothing crazy!....but you may find an arm balance here and there). Expect to break a sweat and to challenge yourself, while experiencing all the amazing breath work, stretches and wind down relaxation of a normal flow class.
This class requires previous experience.

PLAYLISTS
I'll be sending a link to the Spotify playlist prior to the class. If you'd like to have music to go with your practice, make sure you tee this up at home! Enjoy! Note: apparently if you have the free version of Spotify, you will hear some commercials. You may want to upgrade for a few months so that you won't have those interruptions.
TESTIMONIALS
“Being able to join virtual yoga classes with Kathy have been an absolute delight. She creates incredible playlists and an environment that makes me feel as though I am back in the yoga studio. Her personal connection with her students and ability to bring people together makes for a special experience on zoom where it feels like I am practicing with friends again, as opposed to the reality of being isolated at home. These are the only virtual classes I've enjoyed during the Covid-19 pandemic due to her personal touch! “

“Kathy’s classes feel like a big hug. I feel reinvigorated, taller, happier, more self aware. She has a gift that makes everyone feel like she is there with you as you work with what’s right for your own body. Kathy’s virtual yoga classes are keeping me sane during this challenging time. I do 2 yoga flows a week with her plus her yin/restorative class. I’ve been a big fan of Kathy’s classes for years and went on her retreat to the Dominican Republic in November. Fingers crossed we will be able go again this November!”
