Katie B

Founder

Meet Katie, the heart of Kindred. ❤️

Katie is the creator and founder of Kindred and it has truly been a dream come true to see Kindred come to life. Katie is an experienced yoga teacher, YACAP provider, energy healer and has a real passion for bringing people together, seen easily through the community she has created at Kindred.

Movement has been a lifelong way of living for Katie, but Dance and Musical Theatre became her passion from the age of seven, studying with Mary Mc Donagh & Steffen Jorgenson of Chapel Lane School of Performing Arts, the leading theatre school in Sligo right to to leaving school. This led her to train and perform professionally in both Dance and Musical Theatre, in Ireland and the UK. Katie first experienced Pilates & Conditioning in her mid-teens, as an important partner to dance, which continued through her professional training and performing. This additional training provided enhanced mobility, improved core strength and helped prevent injuries.

Discovering yoga over 20 years ago, her regular practice began with Iyengar Yoga with Helen Gillen as a teenager. It complimented the intense world of the Performing Arts, and enticed her immediately. It became a part of daily life for Katie, and she has explored different schools of yoga in London, Ireland and around the world.

Katie has been teaching movement since her early teens and loves to teach in a fun, accessible and functional way, and feels drawing from different types of movement is beneficial for her body rather than repetition of one practice, which is something she brings in to her classes.

Some of Katie’s yoga trainings include:

Vinyasa Flow, Restorative Yoga, Relax and Renew® Level 1 & 2, Hatha Yoga, Functional Yoga as Therapy, Therapeutic Applications of Restorative Yoga, Myofascial Release, Children’s Yoga, Menstrual Cycle Awareness & Restorative YTT, Yin Yoga, Yoga for Children with Special Needs, Yoga Nidra, Trauma Sensitive yoga Skills, Therapeutic Yoga for Cancer Care, Trauma Informed Teaching, Pregnancy Yoga, Restorative Yoga with Assists, and Mum & Baby Yoga.

Katie has done further study in MCA with Red Alchemy & the Red School and trained in Creation Template Healing, Golden Tera Mai Reiki and Rahanni Healing.

You are sure to find variety in Katie’s teaching schedule, and she is excited to share all with you at Kindred.
