our Yoga Teacher Training Instructors

Kathryn began as an academic, earning an M.A. in Philosophy at Tufts University. She is completing her PH.D. in Asian Philosophies and Cultures on “Brahmāvadīnis: Women and the Teaching Tradition of Advaita Vedānta” at the California Institute of Integral Studies. She also taught Philosophy, Religion, and Gender Studies at Eastern Washington University for two decades.

Kathryn discovered Yoga during her studies at Tufts University. After returning to Spokane, she opened the first Ashtanga yoga studio in Spokane and continued teaching Yoga for several years before becoming a full-time Philosophy and Religion instructor. Kathryn is a long-time student of Ayurveda, Yoga, and Goddess Teachings with Acharya Shunya (2004) and Advaita Vedānta with Carol Whitfield, Dayananda Saraswati, and other teachers from the Arhsa Vidya tradition (2007). She studied directly with Dayananda Saraswati in Coimbatore, India, during the summers of 2008 and 2010. Most recently, Kathryn earned her 500 RYT with SYI and beautiful yoga instructors Mindi and Nadine.

Now, Kathryn guides individuals to awaken their unique love purpose through URLOVE Mystic Philosophy™- a system infused with Ancient Wisdom from Yoga, Ayurveda, Vedanta, and World Philosophies. Kathryn is especially inspired to share the teachings of Yoga, Ayurveda, and Vedānta as an integrated triple thread to reveal their shared vision-empowering students to manifest a life of ease, love, beauty, and transformation.
