Hello, my name is Kat, and I am thrilled to be teaching Beginner’s Mind Yoga this Fall. I am truly inspired by the brain’s ability to heal and find new pathways given the right environment. I also facilitate women’s circles here at Madhu, driven by a desire to bring amazing people together because I know that we all have something very special to offer one another. I completed my 200 hour YTT in 2019, shortly after the birth of my oldest daughter. Becoming a mother and a yoga teacher have been utterly transformative. As well as teaching yoga, I also serve as the Wellness Coordinator at Madhu Collective, a Sacred Facilitator for EarthSong Temple, and a Postpartum Care Provider here in Rossland, BC.

The discovery yoga and the community within has changed my life.  Each time I practice I learn, something either physical or spiritual about myself.  I am in love with this yogic experience and to the moon and back grateful to share yoga with others.  My classes like my own practice are Hatha based with a focus on breath and alignment.

Danielle is forever grateful to this practice and lifestyle of yoga, and to the many teachers who have guided her on this journey for the past 15 years.  Danielle came to yoga to help heal and realign her body and to feel more connected to the unexplainable and the timeless. She practices and teaches yoga to bring a quality of depth and ritual to every day. Whether it be honouring the lunar cycle, paying homage to a challenging day in the surf, or preparing for the change of the season …she meets each day and student as is.

With playfulness and sincerity, Danielle offer a series of classes, workshops and retreats that address season with story.  With deep respect to the ancient lineages and traditions of yoga she invites you to come explore on your mat!

I began taking hot yoga classes when I was 23 and enjoyed the physical and mental challenge of staying in the hot room. Classes were 90 minutes and each pose was repeated twice. I continued to casually partake in various hot/warm yoga classes mostly for the physical practice until I realized I had so much more to learn.

I completed my 200 hr teacher training in 2014 with a small group in Revelstoke under the guidance of Ally Bogard. I then completed my 75 hr hot yoga and 50 hr hot vinyasa teacher training at Bambu yoga in Nelson with Kristin Campbell. I am currently enrolled in a 50 hr yin training with Bernie Clark from Vancouver. I have enjoyed all of my training and have learned so much from my wonderful and talented instructors. Thank you.

I am grateful for yoga as this practice has helped me heal from injuries and loss and to become closer to myself. I am learning how to observe rather than react in each moment. My heart and eyes are more open to receive and to give. Finally, I am grateful for the magnificent energy I experience when I walk into a studio and share this practice with others.
