Katy is an Authorised Ashtanga and Breathwork teacher based in Bonn, Germany. She is the co-founder and owner of The Vinyasa People Yoga Studio and Yin Nation a yoga and lifestyle store.
I love to blur the lines between tradition and modernity and find it fascinating, scary, provocative and transformational! An Ashtangi at heart I find comfort and support within the traditions of the practice, completing 5 months of study in Mysore under Sharath Jois and gaining his blessing to teach in 2022 where I received my authorisation.
When it comes to breathwork and pranayama it’s a different story. After years of traditional practice I shook things up and dove head first into the world of breathwork where I experienced the life altering power of breath!
Blending tradition, modern science and dynamic breathwork practices I offer a space for all students to go all in, go deep all whilst being supported on their breathwork journey.
I whole heartedly believes there is beauty in combining tradition with modernity to create a practice that serves you so you can serve others. As a dedicated practitioner, teacher, business owner, mama and wife I understands the true meaning of flexibility and likes to share the lessons I has learnt to all willing to try.
Over the years as a teacher I completed my first RYT 200 Hour training with Seasonal Yoga in Glasgow and then my RYT 300 with Tribe in Austria. I later went on to do a second RYT 200, The Ashtanga Intensive with the Miami Life Center and my 500 Hour Pranayama and breath work teacher training with Pranayama Sadhana in beautiful Bali.
I have also completed the Breath Mastery coursewith Dan Bruhle and the Oxygen Advantage course with Patrick Mckeown. I will a new Pranayama training this year with Eddie Stern and team so there is more to go in this story.
