Kate West

Kate has been practicing yoga for over 20 years, beginning her journey as a child through self-guided practice and continuing into her teens and early adulthood through dedicated personal study and community classes. In 2016 she travelled to India to complete her 200-hour Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training, deepening her connection to the traditional roots of the practice. Since then her teaching has evolved into a breath-led, Ashtanga-inspired flow that blends structure, intuitive movement, and mindful awareness to create space within the body and nervous system.

Kate also completed a 100-hour Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Training focused on addiction and mental health, which supported her work teaching yoga to individuals recovering from substance abuse in Philadelphia.

Her classes emphasize breath, grounding, presence, and accessibility – inviting students to meet themselves exactly where they are while cultivating strength, openness, and inner connection.
