Travel Day

Who is your Teacher?

Katy Is the founder of The Vinyasa People and has been teaching yoga full time for the last 8 years in Germany and Internationally. Her Teaching style is intelligent, inclusive and detail orientated whilst promoting her students to find their own path within the practice.

Katy finds the blurred lines between tradition and modernity fascinating, scary, provocative and transformational. An Ashtanga at heart she finds comfort and support within the traditions of the practice, completing 3 months of study in Mysore under Sharath Jois where she received the blessing and honour of authorisation from her teacher to share Ashtanga yoga.

When it comes to breathwork and pranayama it’s a different story. After years of traditional practice she shook things up and dove head first into the world of breathwork where she experienced the life altering power of breath!

Bending in tradition, modern science and dynamic breathwork practices she offers a space for all students to go all in, go deep all whilst being supported on the breathwork journey.

Katy believes there is a beauty of combining the tradition with the modern to create a practice that serves you so you can serve others. A dedicated practitioner, teacher, business owner, mama and wife she understands the true meaning of flexibility and likes to share the lessons she has learnt to all willing to try.
