Katie Davidson

With a deep devotion to accessible healing, 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 resides and 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.

As a former preschool teacher, Katie advocates not only for children but also recognizing the childlike joy, divinity, and wholeness in all. 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.

Additionally, Katie helped launch and edit Breathe Together Yoga’s digital magazine, Breathe Together Online. Her writing has been published at Elle.com, InStyle.com, LAYoga.com, and more. Every Thursday, you can find her hosting a weekly writing circle, to empower fellow creatives to hone their artistic voices.
