Katie's journey into yoga began with her love of movement, cultivated during a childhood filled with dance. At just 17, she stepped onto her yoga mat for the first time and never looked back. Katie has dedicated more than a decade to her craft. With more than 4,000 hours of teaching experience, her credentials include training in hands-on assisting, pre- and post-natal yoga, and teacher mentorship. 

Known for her grounded, hip-focused flows, Katie creates classes that feel intentional, invigorating, and easeful. Her playlists feature a variety of genres, but deep house tracks, especially Bonobo, have been a staple since the start of her teaching journey.

Outside the studio, Katie loves cooking, taking long walks in Houston’s Memorial Park, and spending quality time with her daughter, Margot. You might also find her dining on a patio, exploring the Farmers Market on Airline, or reminiscing about her proudest venture: owning and operating a wine bar in NYC for five years.
