The physical benefits of yoga lured her to the mat in 1999 Not only did yoga transform her body; it transformed her mind and spirit. Little did she know that her yoga practice would play a huge part in her journey through breast cancer and into survivorship. Her practice has helped her grow stronger, more flexible and fearless - both on and off her mat.

Kathy is a graduate of the Verge Yoga teacher training. She has also trained with Erica Bleznak, Simon Park, Rolf Gates and Ed Harrold. Healthy breathing, alignment, and balanced energy flow are the focus in her classes. Her teaching style brings humor, support and a non-judgmental attitude to her class.

Kathy lives in Havertown with her husband Steve, sons Steven and Michael.
