Thank you so much for continuing with these classes during lockdown. They have made such a difference to me. Really appreciate it.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Yin and the meditation tonight. The thinking points you pick are also well chosen and always seem to resonate with me.

I started attending Kate’s yoga classes a couple of years ago to help with lower back pain. I felt benefits almost immediately and am now pain free as long as practice regularly. Kate has a clear way of explaining the postures as well as the benefits of them.
I was initially unsure about the zoom classes but these work really well. It’s v friendly and it feels like we are all in the same room. I’d happily continue with zoom classes even after lockdown has ended!

Kate brings her own unique sparkle to all her classes, which are always varied, informative, fun and in rhythm with the seasons.
We have been lucky, here on Arran to attend Kate's Qigong and Yoga classes, and now.....woohoo! we can Zoom in, whereever in the world we are!
KM, Lamlash
This isn't just a yoga exercise class. Through Kate's skilful teaching of ancient Chinese wisdom combined with yoga postures, we learn about, and fee the energy coursing through our bodies affected by the changing seasons. Whether in a YIN class stretching and replenishing our joints and connective tissue, or in the expression of joy in the YANG summer postures, Kate's interpretation of these ancient teachings in her classes remain relevant and very beneficial, both physically and mentally, in the extraordinary times that we are living through. I always feel uplifted and positively charged after one of Kate's classes. The successful transition to Zoom continues the accessibility of these excellent classes.

Kates yoga classes are not to be missed! She has such a variety of classes from beginners to advanced and also classes that are fast and constantly moving to slower, peaceful and more medative
DM, Lamlash
Kate's Zoom yoga an qigong classes have been a beacon of light throughout the dark days of lockdown. Her special blend of yoga, qigong and traditional chines medicine is energising, therapeutic and relaxing. She connects the classes directly to the seasons in a way that helps you transcend the isolation of the new norm.
CH, Brodick
My needs are less spiritual and more to do with strength, conditioning and general flexibility. I would highly recommend these sessions to any cyclists or runners out there. Kate has without a doubt helped me to maintain form and prevent injury. Many thanks. C
