Yoga Faith

These photos are personal moments from my Yoga Faith Teacher training. There is a story behind each one. Each is a fiber in the tapestry of my life that God used to get me where He wanted me.

This training was incredible on so many levels. It was training to teach others but greater than that, each day of training was filled with lessons for me to walk through life’s pain and to learn to release that and express that through worshipping on my Yoga Mat.  Yoga has so many health benefits . IT is a mind, body and spirit journey. It’s a practice that brings JOY and increases your time with GOD.

YogaFaith’s mission is to guide others into a sacred space with the Lord through Christian yoga. YF believes in a REDEEMED yoga practice based on the RECONCILIATION of ALL THINGS by the blood of Christ (Col. 1:19-20).

In HIM we live and move and have our being. Acts 17:28

In the Fall of 2016 I led 30 ladies through a 12 week program at our local gym. THEN I was blessed to be ask to come and share my “grief” story/testimony and lead a YOGA FAITH CLASS at the FRAMEWORK ladies conference in November of 2016 at TIMBER CREEK.  It was so humbling to sit before those ladies and simply share what GOD has been doing in my life.  I have led many other classes for special events/corporate groups and will continue to do that as God Leads.

I owned and operated  a YOGA STUDIO of my own for two years. I called it HUNKY DORY.  TRUTH is the real meaning of hunky dory means to HUNKER DOWN. As in a time of war. Get into my “safe place”.   I offered seven classes a week from chair yoga to vinyasa yoga. I also led restorative yoga in combination with health retreats and personal one on one classes.

March of 2018  I completed my Trauma Sensitive Teacher training with Yogafaith.   It is an honor to be part of a group of other teachers who have a heart for helping to HEAL others. There is no greater honor than being the hands and feet of Jesus. The body truly does keep the score.

UPDATE… As of March 1, 2020 I will be spending more time writing and working with individuals on a personal level for health and wellness. (Life Coaching, spiritual growth, weight loss, trauma recovery, etc. )

Be Your Happiest, Healthiest, Most Authentic You!

Be Your Happiest, Healthiest, Most Authentic You!

So you know, I'm Kathy with a K. Little childhood story hidden in that. My life has been filled with lots of adventures. Through it all I have experienced disappointments, a battle with depression, the reality of losing my Husband of 20 years, YET finding HOPE in the midst of it all. I love to cook, listen to loud music, laugh a lot, I crazy dance, love the smell of paper whites and I love to tell stories.

I am a wellness advocate #certifiedhealthcoach, Institute of Integrative Nutrition, Yoga instructor RYT-200 #yogafaith as well as a Trauma Sensitive Yoga Instructor. I am a Certified Christian Life Coach and a Graduate of The New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in Women's Ministry. I use these tools to help others be the best they can be.

I get up everyday with excitement for the mission at hand. I believe that through prayer, conversation, and inner healing work we can all find true peace and HOPE. God is ABLE. He has walked me through so many things in life. Things I wasn’t sure I’d survive.

You will find stories of love, loss, faith and hope all woven throughout this blog. I hope you will take a seat, stay awhile and join me on this Journey.

Bible Verse of the Day

Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?
Isaiah 58:6

The HayMaker….

OUTWARD transformation is good but the transformation on the inside is Amazing. Your Mindset… everything depends on it. Something has to GO so that something NEW can come. Your heart is just waiting to be WOKEN up from that state that keeps you where you are. Maybe it’s time for HARVEST. CUT the hay, Plant […]

JUMP IN …

JUMP IN….. A friend of mine posted this picture yesterday and it brought so many thoughts to my mind. I saw the statement first as BEING BOLD. “BE WHO YOU ARE…” THEN almost immediately I ask myself… “do I know who I am?” I’ve questioned that off and on many times through the trials in […]

WILTED…

TO me there is nothing more beautiful than SUNFLOWERS. They just have a way of brightening up your day. These were given to me recently by a dear friend. I placed them in a spot where I would see them first thing every morning. They lasted longer than normal and truth is they just seemed […]

Back in the Saddle…

There are many things in life that can cause fear. Some that will literally keep you from doing things and going places, etc. As a child my grandfather and I would load up on his horses and go for a ride. Truth is it was my favorite thing to do with “pappa”. He would give […]
