We would like to thank the Eureka Centre Ballarat team for making this space available to the Ballarat East Neighbourhood House for this activity. We are very grateful for their support.

About Kate

Kate began learning yoga in 1998, regular practice eventually inspired her to undertake teacher training in 2020.

She is deeply interested in the emotional benefits of yoga and how to use yoga together with a trauma-informed approach to calm, to heal and to open ourselves to new possibilities and purpose. How can we stay curious about ourselves in this practice?

Kate includes the 8 limbs of Yoga in her practice and integrates these throughout her teaching practice:

  1. Yama (how we conduct ourselves in the world)
  2. Niyama (how we treat ourselves)
  3. Asana (Poses)
  4. Pranayama (Breathing)
  5. Pratyahara (Withdrawal of the Senses)
  6. Dharana (Concentration)
  7. Dhyana (Meditation)
  8. Samadhi (Enlightenment)

Kate promotes regular practice (abhyasa) without attachment to outcomes (vairagya) allowing students to experience improved flexibility and mobility, reduced tension and greater self-awareness. She gently guides students and encourages them to practice in a way that is kind, non-violent (ahimsa), compassionate and appropriate for themselves today – taking into account energy levels, injuries, emotions and current life circumstances.
