Katie Beroukhim
Katie Beroukhim has been practicing hatha yoga for more than a quarter century, and teaching since 1997. Her classes are fun and dynamic. She teaches the Anusara principles of alignment with a focus on individual discovery and expression, blending what is most appropriate in the moment with what she’s learned from her own practice and the amazing wisdom of her teachers. With meditation as the soul of yoga, she supports her students in building strength, erasing tight spots, finding stillness, and cultivating joy. Katie completed Anusara Teacher Training with Sherry Schreck, and Advanced Anusara teacher training with Noah Maze. Her teaching is influenced by continuing studies with John Friend, Betsey Downing, Ross Rayburn, Desiree Rumbaugh, Sianna Sherman, and Carlos Pomeda. She also has an extensive background in fitness, and brings a rich understanding of anatomy and yoga, a strong meditation practice, and the desire for all students to align with their own innate freedom.
Unconditional, by Jennifer Paine Westwood
Willing to experience aloneness,
I discover connection everywhere;
Turning to face my fear,
I meet the warrior who lives within;
Opening to my loss,
I gain the embrace of the universe;
Surrendering into emptiness,
I find fullness without end,
Each condition I flee from pursues me,
Each condition I welcome transforms em
And becomes itself transformed
Into its radiant jewel-like essence.
I bow to the one who has made it so,
Who has crafted this Master Game;
To play it is purest delight
To honor its form, true devotion.
