About the Intructor
Katherine Devine
Katherine Devine has been a practicing yogi for over 15 years. Originally Katherine studied lyengar style yoga at the Naropa Institute in Boulder Colorado where she was pursuing and subsequently obtained her BA in Ecology. She found the holistic approach of Yoga matched harmoniously with the study of Ecology. Yoga's promotion of the right lifestyle and healthy living, as well as its emphasis on non-violence and compassion for all beings accented the ecological concepts of the interconnected, interdependence of all life.
Certified as an instructor by the Temple of Kriya Yoga in Chicago Illinois, Katherine has been teaching Yoga in Belize and the United States for over six years. She continues her own learning through correspondence courses from the Temple of Kriya Yoga, as well as regular retreats with teachers around the world.
Through her teaching, Katherine promotes peaceful, healthy and sustainable living. She encourages her students to find dynamic and creative solutions to the challenges they face in their practice, on and off the yoga mat.
The practice of yoga postures, breath work and meditation, strengthen and balance the bodies muscular, skeletal, endocrine and metabolic systems. Practicing Yoga on a regular basis brings about a healthy, youthful, and invigorated body, as well as greater self awareness, emotional well being and joy-filled living.
