More About
Being part of Stone Wave Yoga’s first cohort of teacher trainings, this special place cradled at the base of the Gunks, feels like home to Kathy, in so many ways. After going through her certification process, yoga opened up into a whole new world to explore, move and play, but especially learning how to grow in peace from the inside out. She has now cultivated a more meaningful knowledge that yoga is an exciting life long journey which brings you back deeper and deeper to your ‘self’.  She is constantly amazed how each practice unfolds into a tapestry of unexpected discoveries of wisdom, not only of self, but of life.  With this in mind, she draws on eclectic teachings that she weaves throughout the flow of asanas, drawing students into a deeper experience on their mat.

Working in the field of mental health as a Student Assistant Counselor at a public high school, Kathy has created spaces and opportunities for students to discover their own journey of yoga.  Students enjoy how it helps with their sports, their concentration and better ability to come back to ‘center’, helping them move through their teenage experiences a bit more grounded.

About how Kathy incorporates Yoga into her daily & professional life, ”As a crisis counselor in a high school, yoga is an amazing and effective vehicle for my students. Using breath work and specific asanas, yoga techniques are seamlessly woven into my sessions to help students de-escalate intense feelings they may be experiencing. After a brief session they are able to self regulate their emotions and are able to manage their behavior the rest of the day. Many students return to continue learning these practices and find they can use these methods on their own in order to work through any situation that may throw them off balance.”.

There are two ways of spreading light. To be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.
