Your Instructor
Starting out as a competitive gymnast, cheerleader and runner, Kat turned to yoga and Pilates to find the balance she was missing. After 7 years of self-practice, Kat knew she wanted to share this passion with others. She completed her 200 hour Ashtanga teacher training in Canada and Mexico, and went on to study Yin and “Joga” (an athletic based style of yoga that focuses on a unique blend of postures to find balance in strength and flexibility). She immediately fell in love with the joy that teaching brought and began teaching Pilates and group fitness classes soon after.
It wasn’t until Kat moved to Australia that she discovered Barre. It was love at first try. The strength, grace and fluidity of the class really resonated with her body. As a certified personal trainer and fitness instructor as well, Kat incorporates the power and flow of vinyasa with strength and muscular conditioning to provide an upbeat, fun and challenging class.
