I recently signed up for the new student special at The Studio and I have been soooo impressed with the diversity and knowledge of all the amazing teachers and additionally the calming serenity and decor of both studio spaces. All of these factors have made me feel incredibly welcome and supported as a new student. However, one teacher in particular has really made certain that I will keep coming back long after my new student special has ended. I have predominantly been a bikram method yogi previously because I consider myself to be choreographically challenged and I always have trouble following along with all the changing movements of yoga classes. I often times get exasperated and anxious, feeling like I simply can't keep up, nor do I know how to adjust myself when I get off track and lost. However, the instructor Kat Ames has really helped me feel hand held and guided with the most incredible patience trying to help me understand how to really drop into every posture she recommends. Her kind corrections and adjustments feel gentle and supportive and I love how she actually SEES me and is paying attention to what I am doing - like my experience as a student in her class truly matters. Thanks to Kat I am learning new ways to use yoga tools like balls and straps and I can thoughtfully notice whether a posture is really softening the part of my body we are targeting because my teacher uses language that is so relatable and specific. Not to mention, I absolutely love it when she breaks out her sound bath bowls. They just make me feel like I am relaxing in another dimension. Thank you Kat and thank you to The Studio for offering such great instructors and so much yoga diversity!

I've been practicing with Kat at the Studio for several years now and love how every class is different and accessible to all ages, abilities and bodies. Kat has trained in many types of yoga and she blends different disciplines seamlessly. She cultivates great energy and humor while leading a challenging class. My strength, balance, and flexibility have all improved significantly as a result of practicing with Kat just a couple days a week.
