Katherine Palms

I’m Katherine (Kat) Palms, a mindful movement guide dedicated to helping guests unwind, restore, and return to themselves. My teaching blends slow, intelligent sequencing with breathwork and somatic awareness, creating an experience that feels both grounding and effortlessly elegant. Each class is designed to soothe the nervous system, support mobility, build inner strength, and leave you with a lasting sense of calm clarity.

My wellness journey began in 2012, when a sports-related head injury led me to yoga and meditation for deep healing. I completed my 200hr training in Costa Rica and continued advanced study in India with direct students of T.K.V. Desikachar. Over the years, my practice has evolved into a refined fusion of Hatha Yoga, Pranayama, Ayurveda, Somatic practices, Barre, Pilates, Qi Gong, and contemporary mobility techniques.

When I’m not teaching at my local studio, I lead immersive retreats in destinations like Greece, Sicily, Sedona, and the Leelanau Peninsula—where movement, nature, and restorative leisure come together to create a sense of spaciousness, beauty, and renewal.
