Yoga & Somatic Classes
North Vancouver
Join Katie for Yoga & Somatic Classes in North Vancouver!
Thank you for joining me here! Since closing my North Van yoga studio in 2020, I have been on a journey of welcoming our second daughter, founding a Registered Children's Yoga School (RCYS), and completing my Masters in Clinical Counselling... among other things. I am thrilled to be able to return to offering regular group classes again for children and adults!
If you have joined me for my adult yoga classes previously, you know I lean to a slow, trauma-sensitive style to nourish the nervous and fascial systems. We explore breath work, sound healing, and meditative practices to the backdrop of Hatha, Kundalini, Yin, Restorative, and Yoga Nidra. My style has always been about offering us an opportunity to re-connect with our true self, our soul, or our gloWithin. In my classes I encourage you to pause and reflect, tapping into your innate body wisdom. More recently this has been coined 'Somatic Yoga'.
Yoga is for everybody, at every age, and so I work with clients from Prenatal, to Postnatal, to children, families and adults. I am a Registered Expert Yoga Teacher (ERYT-500) who has been teaching since 2011, a Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher (RPYT), a Registered Children's Yoga Teacher (RCYT), Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Practitioner (YACEP), and Craniosacral & Somatic Practitioner. You are welcome to learn more about my work here.

Couples Sessions
While I no longer offer yoga sessions for couples, you are welcome to explore my counselling practice for families and couples here, or my craniosacral practice. Both are supportive in different ways. Craniosacral is practiced 1:1, while counselling can be with the couple. Depending on your needs, we will determine the best approach collaboratively. These sessions can be supportive for couples trying to conceive, after the birth of a child, or looking to strengthen their bond.
You are welcome to email me with any questions and we can set up a 15m chat.
Yoga for Children
My approach to yoga for children is unique, in that it draws upon somato-emotional (body-emotion) wellness. Why? When children are able to understand their emotions and use their body (rather than just words) to express themselves, we find greater health. Additionally many children (and adults), to include neurodiverse children, struggle putting feelings into words particularly when feeling activated. This style supports holistic wellbeing, confidence, and offers life-long skills.
You can learn more about our Registered Children's Yoga Teacher Training here, or check out my Heart Centred Parenting course (online) here.
Private Yoga
Private yoga classes are perfect to deepen your practice and honour your unique needs - skeletal variation, fascial patterns, and lived experiences. With over 14 years experience supporting clients of all ages through Yoga + Craniosacral, I support you in creating greater ease and health, mind-body-soul.
Since 2011 I have been offering the following classes: Prenatal, Postnatal, Hatha, Vinyasa, Kundalini, Yin & Restorative Yoga, Meditation, Sound Healing, and Pranayama (breathwork). You are welcome to learn more about my work here. Please email [email protected] for more details.
