Yoga Teacher - Kate Cahill
I believe yoga is for every body and everyone can practice yoga. I want to share how yoga can be an easy, simple and effective practice at work (and you don’t need stretchy pants or a yoga mat to do it).
I teach chair based yoga in the workplace, using functional postural movements and breathing techniques to help relieve tension and reduce stress.
My goal is to make yoga inclusive and accessible for office based professionals who want to feel calmer, focused and more at ease, without having to leave the office or change clothes during the work day
How do I know about the importance of yoga for office professionals? Up until recently, I was in the 25th year of my career as a senior manager in a fast-paced corporate environment. I’ve experienced the demands of corporate life and I understand the challenges of finding time and space to nurture one’s health and well-being.
Yoga helped me immensely throughout my career. It taught me that how I breathe, how I position my body and what I choose to pay attention to directly impacts my levels of tension and sense of wellbeing. My yoga practice helped me counter the physical effects of prolonged sitting and looking at computer screens and phones. It also supported me in finding calm and balance when work and family pressures mounted.
After Ieaving my corporate career, I realised I wanted to help others feel the benefits of yoga, particularly office workers who might be put off by the typical look or feel of a yoga class. So, after more than two decades of practicing yoga as a student, I stepped curiously, excitedly and gently on to my mat as a yoga teacher and from there I developed my chair based yoga classes.
My classes are designed to make yoga accessible and inclusive. They focus on feeling good, finding ease and hopefully having fun along the way.
About me:
I’ve been practicing yoga for over 25 years, with 15 years of dedicated daily practice and two trips to Mysore India for further study. I’m a qualified yoga teacher, with Level 1 registration with Yoga Australia. I have current first aid and CPR qualifications and I am fully insured.
I also work with not -for -profit organisations to make yoga accessible to people that would not otherwise be able to access a yoga class due to physical or mental illness or financial limitations. I’ve seen chair based yoga make a difference in the physical, emotional and mental well-being of my students.
