As the sun sets on summer break, offer your teen(s) a sacred pause to ease into the new school year with intention. This restorative respite will include breathing and embodiment practices, as well as creative exploration and expression, in a safe and fun environment. Students will be encouraged to create healthy habits that enhance their nervous system development and learn tricks to support them through the pressures and challenges of young adulthood. Come and stretch your mindfulness!
This 3-hour workshop includes:
Bring a mat. All other equipment and materials provided. All teens are welcome!
With deep devotion to accessible healing and empowering youth, Katie recently relocated back to Northern California. She serves as the Executive Director of Yoga For All Movement, a nonprofit organization providing trauma-informed yoga to marginalized populations in Santa Cruz County, where she learned about the roots of yoga.
After completing her foundational 200-hour yoga teacher training with Hannah Muse and Kenny Graham, Katie’s yoga journey brought her around the world — to Costa Rica, Guatemala, Bali, and India for her advanced 300-hour certification.
Her continued pursuit of jñāna (knowledge) and svādhyāya (self-study) eventually led her to graduate school at Loyola Marymount University, where she earned her M.A. in Yoga Studies with an emphasis on Yoga, Mindfulness & Social Change.
Her most impactful experiences of yoga have been in sevā, or selfless service. Through the program and working with the Yoga Studies department after graduating, she has been able to empower students in diverse populations (including undergraduates, high school students, and formerly incarcerated individuals) by teaching yoga as therapeutic tools for stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Additionally, Katie served the university’s wider Westchester community by bringing yoga and mindfulness into K-8 schools in the LA Unified School District through a generous grant-funded program in partnership with the YMCA. For two years, she served as a youth yoga instructor, as well as the program’s lead coordinator.
Katie advocates not only for children but also recognizing the childlike joy, divinity, and wholeness in everyone. Her hope is for all beings to have opportunities to remember and reconnect to their true nature while being nurtured by the healing practices of yoga and mindfulness.
