Frequently Asked Questions

Your Teacher

Kathy Cooper

I have been practicing Ashtanga Yoga consistently since 1976. David Williams and Nancy Gilgoff were my primary teachers. They taught me all of the series and pranayama.  I also studied with Guruji (K Pattabhi Jois) on many of his extended trips to the US, and in Mysore, India.

The inherent wisdom of Ashtanga yoga has led me on a transformative journey.  Being present in the body through the  connection to the breath and bandhas is the key which unlocks the blocks. This union is the place where the mental/emotional/physical bodies find their release and begin to unwind.

Facing myself daily on the mat,  I have opened to the deeper Self releasing the conditioning of the mind and body. My love of yoga keeps me on the mat daily.  It is my teacher, healer and fountain of youth.  I feel strong, balanced and happy.

The longing for the deeper truth of life has led me to explore  Sufism, Shamanism, Vipassana meditation, and  awake teachers. I have done many retreats over the years. Daily practice has supported this journey impeccably, both in integrating openings and in surrendering to the now.

Adyashanti expresses this journey beautifully:
“The Spiritual task we are given is a simple one:
to attend to that inner spark of radiance, to
hold vigil over it until we realize it to be ourself,
and to dig up and cast off all arguments we have
with its love.”

I practice jin shin jyutsu, a type of acupressure which is deeply harmonising.  It is a perfect accompaniment to yoga.

I bring this informed, deep, long-time practice to my teaching, supporting practitioners to  strengthen their core/breath/alignment to correct and avoid injuries and move from the inside.

Blessings on your journey.
