Kathy is grateful to have practiced and studied Yoga with various teachers. She annually trains with her most influential teachers, Paul Grilley (Yin Yoga), Suzee Grilley ( Yang Yoga). Under them she receives continuous instruction and inspiration on Yin Yoga, anatomy, philosophy and meditation. She has also studied under Sara Powers (Yin & Yang Yoga), Baba Hari Dass from Mount Madonna Center (classic Patanjali Ashtanga), Kamalesh (classic Ashtanga), Shiva Rea (Vinyasa Yoga), Hojung Audenearde (Ashtanga Vinyasa), Rolf Naujokat (Ashtanga Vinyasa) and Mark Whitwell (Vini Yoga). Her curiosity for the beautiful language in which the practice was first mentioned led her to study Sanskrit for several years under Dr. Elena Sierra, at the University of Barcelona.
