“Kate is the most incredible, inspiring, open and giving teacher and I cannot recommend her Yin Yoga training enough!
Racheal Webb
The 50-hr Physical Body Module gave me so much insight into the world of Yin, from the history and philosophy to exploring Yin Yoga of poses, learning about anatomical differences and the health benefits of Yin Yoga, each part of the course was fascinating. Each day opens and closes with a long, beautiful group practice and we explored so many themes throughout the course.
As well as exploring Yin Yoga teaching, Kate helped us nurture the self-teacher, and my home practice has completely transformed during the course. I found the process of what we learnt and practice and the sanga we created a truly nourishing and therapeutic one too.
Kate teaches with so much passion and brings the philosophy, history, science and spirituality behind Yin Yoga alive – her energy is contagious and it makes for a beautiful learning experience.
If you want to explore the world of Yin, for teaching or simply on a personal level, then Kate is the most wonderful and open teacher to guide you. Can’t wait to study with Kate again and begin my next Yin Yoga Meditation Training.”
“Fantastic training, very educational and enjoyable. Kate teaches in a beautiful way that’s both engaging and easy to absorb. I have finished the course with a deep understanding of the philosophy ,anatomy and history of Yin Yoga. Feeling lost without my Yin weekends. Can’t wait for the next module! ”
Emma Epton
Kate’s teaching is truly inspiring, and by the end of the course I felt I had all the tools I needed to begin my own journey teaching Yin. I’d recommend Kate without hesitation as her knowledge and passion shine throughout. The course was a perfect balance of study and practice, taught with love and limitless enthusiasm.
Her courses would be great no matter what your level or understanding. No matter what your objective, be it to teach, or just develop a deeper understanding of the subject, Kate’s training is for you. Simplicity, patience, compassion.” Steve Berger “When I first saw this training, I knew deep down it was something I wanted to do through enjoying my own Yin practice so much although did not at the time realise how much more Yin is / means.
Claire Zamora
I loved the small Sangha size- it felt throughout the training a safe place to develop in a nurturing and nourishing way held by Kate.
I can see by learning about the philosophies/ theory/ history and practice how Yin connects the body/ mind/ breath / spiritually, mentally and emotionally and how much it can benefit us in a Yang world and I am keen and passionate to pass all my understanding and learning onto others.
This course has been an amazing experience for me both personally and professionally, Kate created a training that encompassed compassion, self discovery, connection, lots and lots of knowledge and FUN. Thank you”
“Content: Due to the excellent Instructor with great experience and diverse knowledge. Good jump start into reliability.
Structure: Very usefull and clarifying, the sequence very clear. Overall impression of the seminars was excellent.
Practice: In the beginning I thought this is not for me but after the second day and my experience (break free from the past) I was totally infected and opened up to the whole Training.
You have been calm, crazy and Intense, a perfect mixture of all parts that make you so special and the training. The Training was presented in an enthusiastic way, the content was related to situations in daily life, which are very true.
You are just amazing! Great experience out of your life you shared with us that made you so “not perfect” but a person you can relate to.
Once I use to live in America someone told me That each of us has a superpower –
Your superpower is INSPIRATION! Thank you so much for the inspiration you gave me, you inspired me to look further into things and I am very interested in more and not just to close the chapter!
I am going for it in 2018 I want to know more and learn more – maybe change my way (not an office job for the rest of my life) I want to look further into the Topic and educate myself.Thank you so much Kate for being you”

‘Dear Kate, The yin TT with you was a very strong and deep experience for me. The body and mind work was very intensive!
I am glad I could join the first 5 element blocks of workshop just to sink into all and be prepared.I loved the way you have build up the 6 days of teaching. For me it was well structured and the sequencing made fully sense. Also the documentation is very well done and I will use it often… I know that already
Since Monday I have big pleasure in doing my morning practice with a complete new approach and I love it !!
You are in your element while teaching! That’s really your thing! You have the energy and strength to lead a class and keep the students awake. You are a very warm-hearted and motivating person. You shared so so much! Very alive and funny and also very serious with a good founded knowledge.
Much love”

“Dear Kate, it’s not easy to put into words what I experienced during this Yin Teacher Training with you. It felt like we were in a loving bubble for a week. Every evening it was hard to “go back to reality”, but with all the great tools you gave us, we were able to take the Yin feeling with us in the outside world. You had such a positive influence on me during this week. You helped me open up and release some hidden emotions and thoughts. You are such an inspiration because you stay true to yourself and you are so open about your own life and struggles. You share so much and that is really beautiful about you. You’re such a shining soul. When you teach or give lectures you are so passionate about what you talk and that is really contagious. I found it really interesting to learn about all the things you covered. You are an amazing teacher”

As a regular long distance runner I feel it is important to offset the impact of my training with other activities. I have been practising yoga for a few years, mostly focussing on vinyasa, but noticed my flexibility wasn’t really improving due to the amount of running that seemed to be counteracting it. Kate recommended yin yoga to me, describing it as “yoga for ninjas” and I was immediately intrigued! After a few practices I am now converted, the effect has been that I can feel my deep tissues being targeted and problem areas are stretched and released. My running has improved noticeably since I have been practicing yin regularly and my post-run routine now includes a few favourite yin poses. Yin is a challenging practice but incredibly rewarding!
My last marathon was incredibly uncertain as I had a lot of injuries in the left glutes/IT that eventually caused a lot of pain in the last six miles (still got a PB and 46th lady out of 1200!) and the half saddle last night was the perfect way to let off the tension that had built up there. Yin compliments running so well xxx”

“Another wonderful retreat with Kate. The Faralya Hotel and its hosts were amazing – made us all feel so welcome and special, you could tell they really cared. The food was super yummy – lots of it! I really enjoyed the day out at the beach and the day on the boat with the group was lots of fun. I cannot say enough positive adjectives to describe the wonderful group of people I was privileged to spend the week with. It does wonders for the soul to spend so much time with such awesome, like-minded, funny, inspiring people.
Rebecca, Faralya Turley 2016
And Kate…well she is just the best She provided us with amazing, uplifting, inspirational and heartfelt yoga and meditation practices – it is hard not to be refreshed, motivated and energised after spending a week with Kate. I felt my practice progress throughout the week and my karmic seeds were cooking hee hee. Thank you for allowing us to share in your passion and enthusiasm! Bring on the next retreat!”
“Thank you so much for organising the retreat! I had a really brilliant time, met lots of fab people and improved my yoga no end. Can we go back yet?”
Tim, Faralya Turkey 2016
“A fantastic experience, stunning location, attentive hosts, fab food and lots of it, I’m not normally vegetarian but felt great on the diet. This retreat has started me on a new journey yoga wise, I loved the spiritual side which is often missing in my gym yoga lessons. The day trip opportunities were balanced and thoroughly enjoyable. Great company. Kate was amazing, not only a fab yoga teacher offering exciting opportunities but attentive to every aspect of the holiday in a calm, loving and holistic manner. Will I do more retreats with Kate? You bet I will!”
Alison, Faralya Turkey 2016
“A wonderful retreat in Turkey – gorgeous weather, fabulous food and location, lovely hosts, great company and then there’s Kate, the most devoted and passionate yoga teacher I’ve ever known, who lives and breathes everything she teaches. She is such a master and brilliant teacher. I thought it would “just” be yoga but Kate’s approach encompasses a holistic healing and personal growth experience, which is right up my street. She is a beautiful gentle and amazingly strong soul, who shared her authenticity with us, ensuring lovely group dynamics.
Sarah, Faralya Turkey 2016
I would highly recommend any retreat with Kate.”
“I had a fantastic time at a lovely retreat with a super group of people.
Jane, Lake District 2016
It was a treat to myself as part of my 50th birthday celebrations.
I came away feeling that I had invested some precious time and money in myself! Thanks Kate!”
“I was unsure what to expect and was very nervous about going when I signed up for this retreat, but it went above and beyond my expectations.
“I have returned wanting to take things I have learnt about yoga and myself, forward in my life and can say I have definitely got the yoga bug! This is all down to Kate, she is an amazing teacher, a very insightful person and feel lucky that I found her when I did and decided to try yoga.
“I would definitely go away again with Kate teaching and thank her for the immense hard work she put into this retreat. She should be very proud of how it went and how much everyone enjoyed themselves. For me there were no negatives, nothing I disliked about the retreat, only the amazing positive week that I experienced with other like minded people.
“I cannot wait to see where she chooses for next year!! Love and light xxx”

“I think the schedule was really well thought out. I never at any time thought it was too full or not enough. There was definitely enought chillout time between practices. I really actually enjoyed getting up early which I thought I would struggle with but was surprisingly fine. I felt good throughout my practice and it never felt too much.”
– Amy Haggerty, Rooted in Yoga Retreat 2015

“I wanted to go on retreat for the last couple of years and I really am glad that I decided to. I would definitely go on another one. I had an amazing experience and got so much out of it. It was a good opportunity to reevaluate things for me and just space away from everything. I learned a lot. Thank you for guiding the week and setting out expectations which I think made the week what it was. I found the whole experience very emotional and empowering.
“I came back a lot happier than I was before I went. I feel lighter and very to deal with life with a fresh outlook and energy. Thanks for a brilliant week, Kate. I think you got everything spot on. Thanks for an amazing week and all your hard work.”
– Amy Haggerty, Rooted in Yoga Retreat 2015

“From my initial feelings of fear, insecurity and imbalance, I managed to find my feet, to grow, be grounded and learn a lot about myself in one short week. This was due to the daily practice, guidance, journaling and support from Kate and fellow yogis. I felt like I was in a place of safety and enouragement and non-judgement which allowed me to push past my own fears and spend time on thoughts that I generally avoid. I will take the yoga philosophy into my daily life and have continued a daily practice of yoga which was one of the things I wanted to gain from the retreat. Kate’s openness and honesty shines through which encourages me to be the person I knew I am deep inside. I wished I could have stayed another week!”

“Kate is so friendly kind and fun and yet manages to squeeze it all in and still be so professional with her classes. I am new to yoga a so she has been so good at taking her personal time to message and talk to me about things and make me feel welcome and relaxed. I can’t imagine ever stopping now xxx”
– Ani Munn

“Kate gently encourages a strong and deep yoga practice. Her classes really allow for individual mind and body unity that challenges but also requires humility and a sense of humour I can’t get enough of her classes and always feel a deep sense of love and respect during our practice and feel mentally and physically rejuvenated afterwards. I highly recommend everyone to try a class or 2 out!”

“Phenomenal session yesterday. An incredibly mindful experience which helped relax and loosen up my body for tasks ahead, aswell as plant healthy seeds of positive energy into my mindset. An incredible teacher, Kate made me feel relaxed,safe & looked out for as she helped me with poses I found unfamiliar. Aiding the stretch yet not allowing me too cause an injury. Her soothing and angelic voice led the meditation portion, making for an incredible sounding meditation practice with beautiful mantras and POWERFUL group oms.
“A must for all enthusiasts for healthy living. YOGA for all folks!!! Every time I’ve been the wide range of practitioners have always been welcoming.”

“Attended Kates Rocket yoga this evening and bloody loved it! I’ve always found it hard to find a challenging class for myself I just started teaching yoga this year but can never seem to progress my own practice so I’m so excited to have found this lady! Made me leave feeling uplifted and full of happiness thank you Kate!”
– Sarah Weekes

“Amazing teacher and person. I have tried yoga else where and never really thought it could me my ‘thing’. Since I have been going to Kate’s practices it turns out it is! She has introduced me to rocket yoga which is demanding and sweaty, but with Kate’s teaching and encouragement each week I feel stronger and more confident. Now every week is a count down to Wednesday night Thank you Kate x”

“I have been attending Kate’s classes for nearly a year and my only regret is that I didn’t find yoga sooner ! Kate creates a wonderful, calming environment and is a very knowledgeable and caring instructor, who is always easy to approach with questions or for advice. In addition to the main classes, she also organizes some free events covering topics such as meditation throughout the year.
“The classes are a friendly mix of people of all ages , both male and female and I really do find that my attendance has opened up a whole new way for me of dealing with life’s little vicissitudes !
“I really can’t recommend them highly enough – as I have done to several of my friends in the last few weeks Thanks Kate !”
– Scott Highway

“I thought that it was a great mix of practice. It was nice as it was relaxed and didn’t feel pressured in to attending everything and gave time and space for the practice. I liked that we had the opportunity to do some 1-2-1 things if wanted.
“What can I say? I can’t believe that I was even considering not coming! It was an amazing, unforgettable week filled with beautiful surroundings, gorgeous like-minded people, awesome yoga, lots of fun and laughter and scrumptious food. It was a perfect mix of yoga practice and relaxation, with plenty of time and space for both. By the end of the week I was feeling strong, healthy, happy, peaceful, loved and relaxed. What more could I ask for? Thanks Kate, it really was a wonderful week xxx”
