I have taken yoga classes for almost thirty years now and have had many teachers, each with different approaches and teaching styles, most of them good and enjoyable.  Kathleen, however has been the very, very best! The elements that make her such an outstanding teacher are many: her deep--and always expanding--knowledge and understanding of yoga practices and somatic movement, and how much she cares about her students and tries to make the class experience helpful and enlightening for each one. Her philosophy that yoga is a flexible endeavor that each student should fit to her or his physical and other needs manifests itself in her frequent comment that she only give "signposts" (demonstrations), not rigid rules. Unlike many teachers, Kathleen does not overwhelm her students with Sanskrit terms, but keeps those to a familiar minimum. She is also blessed with a lovely sense of humor, which makes her classes everything described above, and also great fun. I look forward to every Friday's class and feel privileged to be have 'found' this warm, wonderful and brave woman to continue to guide me in the experiences that continue to make such a difference in my health and life!
