Katherine Altneu

Yoga found Katherine in 1999, and she knew instantly that it was an intricate piece of her life’s path. Over the past several years, she has been on a steady path of spiritual growth and wellness and is now a regular practitioner of yoga. Compelled to immerse herself in its study, she completed her teacher certification at the Sivananda Ashram in Tamil Nadu, India in 2006. Katherine teaches with compassion and encourages her students to use yoga as a way to acknowledge and conquer their physical and psychological limits. Her intention is to bring happiness to her students and help them shift into the present moment, so they are able to connect with themselves and each other. Katherine’s classes convey the depth that she has discovered within yoga that goes far beyond the physical asana practice. She creates a beautiful rhythm of meditation and healing by aligning the breath, and focusing the mind with the movement of the physical body. “Because the practice has affected me so profoundly it is a joy and honor to share its benefits through teaching.” Katherine is also an acupuncturist and herbalist. In her personal time, Katherine enjoys strumming her guitar, running in the foothills, skiing, kayaking and cooking at home. “The best way to find your self is to lose yourself in the service of others.”- Gandhi
