About the instructor: Katie Hardin

Having taught mixed level Yogafit classes for 9 years in the Federal Way area she decided to update her skills and deepen her understanding of yoga philosophy as a way of life by completing Three Trees Yoga ten month 200hr. intensive teacher training program in November 2015. Her path of yoga has led her on a journey of building self-love and acceptance, which has resulted in losing nearly 40-lbs and no longer diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. Katie strives to be an active advocate that yoga is for every BODY type and ability and through proper alignment and modification of poses she knows first hand it can be a life changer. It is her intention to help release judgement and competition while still bringing strength and stability to each student. She has found a deep love of including Pranayama (breath of life) into her practice to help open the vessel of the body to fully breathe from the core and bring the mind body connection back into awareness. Her favorite asana (pose) is Tree. It opens all the chakras, grounds the body and opens the mind to becoming a conduit to the energy around and within. Guided meditation, yoga Nidra, MBSR mindfulness and Kirtan mantra are part of her personal practice and may find their way into her prep for the ultimate Savasana. Her favorite classes to teach and build community in are Restorative and mixed level/ beginner Hatha classes. It’s her mission to help release people from the stress of the week, computer, commute and reconnect to themselves. As a active person who also can be found running, hiking and geocaching with her 2 young children or teaching yoga on her paddle board. She also enjoys a rewarding 16 yr career as a massage therapist this has given her an awareness where the majority of people hold stress and tension and integrates that into her choice of pose sequences. Most of all she would like to remind us to be human”beings” not human”doings”. Slow down and enjoy the sweetness of life between every breath.
