Katie is a firm believer in the healing and transformative powers of yoga, but it took nearly 16 years of half-hearted practice and a cross-country move from California back to North Carolina for things to click. Here, in these majestic Blue Ridge Mountains, she cultivated more than a commitment to the physical limb of yoga—she discovered a sanctuary of deeply soulful yogis that fostered a profound shift in how she relates to others and herself on and off the mat. As a recovering over achiever, go-getter, mental gymnast, and people pleaser, Katie finds that yoga helps her drop out of her head and into her body, feel grounded in the present moment, and let go of external measures of success.
Katie is passionate about serving others and empowering people and communities to engage in healthy, sustainable lifestyles. Currently she does this as the Guest Services Manager at Asheville Yoga Center, where she oversees the Studio and its robust class schedule (more than 100 a week!), as well as manages the front desk staff and instructors.
Enjoy this one-hour Living Well where Katie shares about her passion and the benefits of yoga and all the exciting things happening at Asheville Yoga Center.
