What problems does this course help yoga teachers and students to overcome?

Teachers will be able to let go of feeling like:

Not sure how to help students whose needs differ from your own.
Concerned you don’t know enough anatomy to really support people.
Wondering why certain cues aren’t resonating with your students.
Unsure what to suggest when a pose clearly isn’t working for someone.
Seeing students struggle in class but feeling uncertain how to guide them toward a better experience.
Finding one-on-one sessions intimidating.
Believing there’s always a single “correct” vs. “incorrect” way to do a pose.
Thinking the “right” alignment alone prevents all injuries.
Assuming some students should never do certain postures.
Labeling certain poses as inherently “bad” or off-limits.

Students will be able to let go of feeling like:

Feeling like yoga—or certain postures—just isn’t for you (which is rarely the case!).
Believing something is wrong with your body if you can’t do certain poses.
Thinking you’re not strong or flexible enough for yoga.
Accepting pain in yoga as inevitable.
Worrying you’re not making progress in your postural practice.
Wanting a deeper connection to how your body feels but unsure where to start.
Suspecting there’s an easier way to approach yoga without knowing the first step.

Testimonials

"This is the second course I have taken that Kat has offered (among being a regular student of hers and attend any extra's she offers). Each time my expectations are met and exceeded. Not only was the material extremely relevant, the classroom experience was one that was welcoming and encouraged my personal growth. I recently completed my yoga teacher training certificate and anatomy and functional anatomy were topics that I felt overwhelmed by. Kat made this material so easy to understand and integrate in my own body. I now feel empowered and more confident to speak on this topic. Kat is extremely knowledgable on the practice and her dedication comes through in how she teachers, in her interpersonal relationships and her daily life. Her vulnerability and openness as a teacher is something I deeply appreciate as a student of yoga and of life. I can confidently say that my life is better for knowing her, and I would highly recommend any of the services she offers."
