"Kate’s classes are special. She creates a positive atmosphere of calm and joy and gives precise instructions. Her teaching is focused, inclusive and intuitive, giving instructions for adjustments or alternatives where necessary. Every student leaves feeling better than they did when they arrived."

Brenda, Beverley

"To say I’ve been travelling almost 30 miles for the last seven years to go to Kate’s Iyengar yoga class says a lot! Kate is a splendid teacher, who encourages her students to reach their potential while working with and listening to their bodies. She creates a warm and welcoming environment where we feel safe, comfortable with each other and where there is no competition.

Kate’s classes are thoroughly prepared with variety and progression over each term. She has contributed much to my yoga journey and has quietly inspired me towards a daily practice (albeit short!) She is a gifted teacher, and we all love and respect her. I can’t imagine my life without yoga now and hope to continue at my own level and capacity for always."

Anne, Newport, Brough

"I love your classes. You’re a brilliant teacher; quietly confident, totally capable, and clearly in your element, doing what you love, which is much admired and appreciated."

Belinda, Beverley

"Your yoga classes are unlike any other I’ve ever taken. You can really feel the wisdom of Ayurveda and yoga combining in how and what you teach, how you structure your classes and what goes into them. It feels like I’m always absorbing something very powerful and wise, rather than doing a bunch of poses and stretches. Absolutely love it! Thank you for your brilliant teaching!"

Meghan, Driffield

"Kate has a calm, clear way of teaching Iyengar yoga that instantly puts you at ease. She is super knowledgeable and explains everything in a simple, supportive way. Her classes are relaxed, welcoming, and often sprinkled with moments of laughter. I always leave feeling lighter and better in myself."

Libby, Beverley

"I know I feel very different after class, a better me."

T, Nafferton

"I always enjoy Kate’s classes and come away feeling energised and inspired. Her instructions are clear and concise with small points bringing into focus where and how to improve my practice. There are always what seems like a small adjustment that make a huge difference to the posture, and I carry these with me after the class. Kate is very positive and encouraging and will offer options to make a pose possible whilst not compromising its overall structure in any way. Thank you, Kate – you’re a great teacher."

Dianne, Beverley

"Kate’s classes are always interesting and enjoyable. She is an extremely knowledgeable and considerate Iyengar teacher and pays attention to the needs of everyone in a session with sensitivity, providing opportunities to explore basic and more challenging poses in depth. I always feel revitalised after her classes."

Jayne, Beverley

"A few years ago, I stumbled across Kate’s Iyengar yoga classes, soon noticed the benefits of this type of yoga and realised what a gifted teacher Kate is. Kate is patient and sensitive to the needs of everyone. She is meticulous in planning a class with options to suit us all. Before and after having a full hip replacement, I needed to be careful in some postures, but Kate was fully aware of this and offered advice in an inclusive manner. An Iyengar class is perhaps more physically intense than other yoga. Kate is an exacting teacher who expects high standards of attention and involvement. I feel completely in tune with the class from start to finish and know that others feel the same. I enjoy the inherent postural standards of Iyengar yoga. Kate’s teaching reminds me of the rigorous dance training I did many years ago. I want to maintain the flexibility and strength I have now for as long as possible. I look forward to Kate’s class each week knowing that I will feel not only fitter but happier and calmer by the end. That physical intensity seems to lead naturally to meditative relaxation and a resulting feeling of peace."

Liz, Driffield

"Having moved to the area recently, I was unsure whether or not I could find a good yoga teacher; I had been practising Iyengar yoga in Lincolnshire and was enjoying its physical benefits and the way it was improving my everyday life. It was a huge plus when I joined Kate’s classes and realised that I had found such an excellent teacher. The classes are welcoming and friendly, and Kate’s understanding of our individual needs strengthen the integrity of her polished teaching. She is always mindful of any injury or weakness we may be carrying and keeps a watchful and professional eye on our practice in order to deliver restorative yoga, focusing on alignment and internal calm. Kate continues to challenge us and work with us in the spirit of Iyengar, the classes are always well structured and informative. It is a nourishing practice for body and mind, a little time away from the pressures of everyday life. I have found it both rewarding and enjoyable, mainly through the excellence of this tuition."
