Katherine
Greenspun, RYT
Katherine was hooked on yoga from her first introduction
to pranayama. The discovery of the power of the mind and
breath was intriguing. Later Katherine began to study
asana as well, and was enthused by the connection of the
mind and body, and the spiritual and psychic awareness
experienced through the practice of yoga. Katherine believes
that yoga can transform the personality, in addition to
transforming the body. She is a graduate of the Sacred
Well Teacher training program and a registered yoga teacher
with Yoga Alliance. The Iyengar approach to asana, with
his concentration in body alignment, is a natural fit
for Katherine because she also holds a BA in Biology.
Katherine approaches each class with the attitude that
"We are all teachers and we are all students."
Her wish is that her students benefit from her teaching
as much as she benefits from teaching them.
