About Katharine

I am a smiley person with lots of compassion and time for people. I don't classify myself as any one thing, but have many enjoyments in life which I identify with. I am passionate about singing and movement. I love working with my hands, creating, painting and woodwork. I love nature and to be outside in general. I like to climb both indoors and outdoors and I absolutely love swimming outdoors where possible. I'm a big foodie and have a deep rooted passion for cooking, embedded by my dad.

Workwise, I am a registered adult nurse, having worked 4 years with the NHS in Intensive Care and in the community, I found my greatest joy was in the one-to-one moments. Of course, with an increasingly stretched service this was becoming harder and harder to achieve. Therefore I decided to leave nursing and transition to working one-to-one without the clinical aspect. I have spent the last few years working with sexual trauma for both adults and young people. During this time I also studied Public Health, Level 3 Person-Centred Counselling and I am currently studying to become a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. I work privately as a Somatic Therapist in London and in Hertfordshire, working with renegotiating traumatic or stressful life events through the language of the body. Alongside all of this I also work as a 'low-intensity' therapist in the NHS working with common mental health difficulties.

As a yoga teacher, I can offer a safe and professional space where trauma can be explored with curiosity if the client wishes to do so. Alternatively you may just wish to learn more about yoga and and move your body, I love that too!

About the lesson

I am based in Hertfordshire. I am offering one-to-one or group personalised, trauma-informed somatic yoga sessions with an emphasis on achieving a mind-body connection. I draw on traditional Hatha yoga principles but integrate my Somatic Experiencing training. I can offer these in person or online. In January 2023, I completed a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in Hatha/Vinyasa at Shiva Rishi Yoga School in Varkala, India.

I am extremely passionate about working with the body as a means to heal and find yoga to be the perfect modality to do this. All of us need and deserve some healing in our lives, yoga can hold that space for us. I find Hatha Yoga to tick all the boxes for those who want the physical aspect of yoga but also want to try practising higher levels of concentration, connection to the breath and full body relaxation. I am an Advanced Somatic Experiencing Trainee (qualifying in June 2025), these techniques will always run throughout my delivery but can be adjusted according to your needs.

In our consultation, we can incorporate different elements of yoga including pranayama (breathing exercises), guided meditation (non-guided if desired), a varied and tailored physical practice and upon request we can discuss some elements of yoga philosophy. I am extremely considerate with body alignments to ensure you are practising every pose safely for your body. In our initial consultation we can discuss any health issues you may have and wish to be mindful of.

Our sessions will be 90 minutes and can be for all ages and levels of yoga experience. I encourage you to please pop me a message or give me a call if you would like to have a chat or have any doubts.

Katharine is hands down my favourite yoga teacher! She’s always really encouraging and creates a really open and non-judgemental environment, also her voice and presence is just so calming, I always feel lighter and more grounded after her classes

Kat is an amazing instructor, I’ve been doing yoga for years, and her class was amazing, she has so much knowledge of posture, she gave me lots of gentle mini tips to improve the postures I’m weakest at. The class had a great flow with lots and options for more/less advanced variations on movements and posture. A wonderful soulful approach that left me limber and peaceful

What a beautiful class. Started with lovely pranayama techniques and moved on to a great morning flow. Making the most out of the classic simple moves and slowing down. Got so much more from the poses with tips on adjustments. Great flow!!

Katharine is an excellent tutor, taking particular time to listen and help with positions I was struggling with. The blend of tuition, flow and relaxation really helped progress my practice. She also introduced me to breathwork and pranayama, elements I'd not explored before allowing me to relax into yoga rather than viewing it as a chore.
