Kathryn Cooper
Kathryn’s introduction to the Ashtanga Primary Series during a weekend workshop in January 2017 transformed her personal yoga journey. In the 6 years prior, she practiced at home with videos and occasionally attended a class. The workshop at Bodhi Tree began a daily practice of the standard set of poses that make up the Primary Series. For Kathryn, the clarity of purpose and consistency of the routine allowed her to progress more deeply and thereby develop physical strength and a sense of confidence in her practice.
Regular self- practice with Liz Chamberlain as teacher and a group of dedicated Ashtanga practitioners has provided community and a sense of dedication and motivation. Along the way she has attended workshops with Robbie Norris from Richmond City Yoga and David Swenson. In the summer of 2019 Kathryn had the opportunity to participate in the first Ashtanga Teacher Training offered by Yoga On High in Columbus, Ohio, receiving a certificate of successful completion in the Winter of 2019. Kathryn is first and foremost a practitioner who loves to share her passion for Ashtanga with anyone who is interested, both newcomers and old timers alike!
