Jivamukti Yoga Teacher | Spiritual Lifestyle | Kirtan Singer | Joy Bringer | Lover of God | Reiki Level I & II
Katherine practices and teaches yoga and meditation with an emphasis on becoming fit, as her beloved teacher Sharon Gannon puts it, to be an instrument of the divine. Katherine started to practice at the gym in summer 2013 then quickly found and fell in love with Jivamukti Yoga when she moved to New York City that fall. In the past decade she has studied extensively with her teachers in New York, Europe, India, and SE Asia, accumulating more than 1000 hours of teacher training and ashram immersion experiences. Her retreats blend ease, joy, and deep spiritual work in a context that serves practitioners of all faiths. In class, Katherine offers authentic and playful insight on how to take the practices we learn on our mats into the real world. She offers supportive experiences of precise alignment and breath with hands on assists to eclectic, high vibe playlists, weaving in classical yoga philosophy, personal stories and examples, plus if you’re lucky, bad jokes. She plays harmonium and is a joyful kirtan singer. She is kind, humble, humorous, and relatable as a teacher.
Jivamukti Yoga is comprised of a vigorous vinyasa practice plus 5 Tenets:
Ahimsa (compassion, nonharming vegan diet)
Bhakti (Devotion to God)
Nada (Yoga of Sound, Mantra, Chanting)
Dhyana (Meditation)
Shastra (study of yogic scripture)
These tenets will come alive in our practice and study during the Divine & Aligned Retreat.

Blue Zone Bilss in Nosara, Costa Rica
Naya Nosara is an eco-conscious retreat nestled in tranquil Nosara, Costa Rica, just a five-minute walk from the picturesque Playa Pelada and the Lagarta Lodge Wildlife Sanctuary. Surrounded by lush jungle and vibrant wildlife, this serene refuge features six stand-alone rooms that blend harmoniously with nature, all within a sanctuary designed by artists, yogis, and surfers dedicated to creativity, simplicity, and self-work. Naya is located in the province of Guanacaste, one of the only 5 Blue Zones in the world. Blue Zones are areas where the population leads longer, healthier and happier lives due to their diet and lifestyle. This nourishing lifestyle and diet is dictated by the land. One needs only to see the stunning coastline of the Nicoya Peninsula and the abundant jungle ecosystem to understand why health and happiness are primary features of the locale.

An Unforgettable Yoga Shala for Immersive Practice
The sacred Shala at Naya Nosara has a grass roof and is carved into the earth, creating a naturally grounded space, charged with the energy of the transformational work it holds.
Playful, accessible spiritual exploration will be interwoven into our extended daily yoga asana classes, meditation practices and evening satsangs: how to truly extend your spiritual practice into all aspects of life to truly experience the divine within. Asana will prepare the body, meditation will quiet the mind, and kirtan & satsang will expand the heart. Katherine’s teachings are relatable, humorous, accessible, and draw from her many teachers and spiritual leaders like Ram Dass. Ultimately yoga is a system which clears away that which obscures our natural connection to God. The Divine & Aligned retreat is a chance to polish the mirror of the heart to experience that connection, away from the push and pull of daily life.

Activites & Schedule Centered in Joy & Purification
Katherine’s experience with yoga travel has created a schedule balanced between practice, rest, and local activities, for a long weekend that feels like a vacation, yet offers inspiration and practical tools for when you return to daily life.
In addition to yoga, we will enjoy the infinity pool, being in nature, the beach, fresh local food, and optional participation in a horseback ride to the beach and a traditional Temezcal sweat lodge ceremony. Nosara is also known to have surfing waves all year round!
