Yoga, but make it real life.
I’m Katy – yoga teacher, marketing leader, runner, strength-training fan, and someone who knows all too well what it’s like to spend too much time sitting at a desk.
I’ve been practising yoga for many years and qualified as a 200-hour Yoga Alliance teacher in 2017. I started teaching in 2018, and SELFish Yoga grew from a simple belief that we could all benefit from making a little more time for ourselves.
But yoga isn’t all I do.
I work in the corporate world as a marketing director for a software company, so my working week is filled with meetings, deadlines, emails and everything that comes with a busy career. Outside of work, I love running, strength training, getting out into the hills and generally keeping myself moving.
And, ironically, the more running and strength training I do, the more I need my yoga.
Yoga gives me something those other things don’t. It helps me slow down, move differently, build mobility and strength, improve balance, pay attention to my body and — perhaps most importantly — switch off for a while.
That’s what I want SELFish Yoga to be about.
I’m not looking for pose perfection or a totally zen outlook… Because let’s face it, this is real life!
Just making some space for yourself, moving your body, quietening your mind and leaving the mat feeling a little better than when you arrived.
My approach
My classes combine movement, breath, mindfulness and relaxation, with flowing sequences that challenge you while still giving you options to make the practice work for your own body.
I want yoga to feel accessible, enjoyable and relevant to real life — whether you’re a regular runner, gym-goer, desk-dweller, complete beginner or simply someone who wants a bit more time for themselves.
And if you’re anything like me, you’ll probably find that the more life asks of your body and mind, the more you need your yoga.
That’s SELFish Yoga.
Time for you. Because that’s not selfish at all.
