Katherine (Katie) Carp
RYT 500 Yoga Alliance certified yoga teacher
In 2011, Katie started practicing Hatha Vinyasa yoga, after she was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. Katie walked into her very first yoga class and learned that for one hour and fifteen minutes she could stop fighting herself. Her yoga mat became a place where it was ok to forget the struggles and to just be. She started teaching yoga to create a space where people could experience this feeling of being okay. A moment in time to feel Strength, Confidence and Serenity just as they are. Katie attended the 200 hour training with Healthy Mind, Body, Soul in 2018 and started teaching that same year. Then added to her education in 2021 at the Yoga 108 School of Yoga for a 300 hour training.
Sound has been an important part of her journey. Her parents gifted Katie her first singing bowl and she was hooked. The notes linger in the air long after the bowl is played. The soothing vibrations allow for a deeper meditative experience. Katie incorporates sound into her yoga classes and offers full immersion Sound Baths.
