Breath, relax and deepen your practice

The thought, care and consideration you put in to every element of your retreat was incredible and inspiring. A perfect mix of yoga, learning, fun, beach time, quiet time, and of course splendid sunshine. The retreat space was very special and created such a nurturing environment for connection across so many levels. I valued the time and space for meditation, breath work, talks on yoga philosophy and the physical asana classes. Thank you sincerely for sharing so much with all of us and hosting an amazing week!

Kat is such a beam of light to be around and possesses so much depth and wisdom that it's impossible to not be moved by her teachings. Coming from a place of softness and strength, Kat is beautifully skilled in creating a safe space to take people to their edges to ultimately help them explore new places within themselves (body, mind and spirit). I am so grateful that Kat guided me through my 200-hour YTT at BodyMindLife. I hold so much of the support and wisdom she shared deep in my heart. If you are yearning for a supportive, safe environment to dive deep into yourself and come out the other side more strong, flexible and empowered in both body and mind, then you won't be disappointed working with Kat. She has so much love, support and guidance to offer you on your lifelong yoga journey.

Kat's teachings have had a profound impact on my life, not only is my practice is improving - I have increased patience and compassion and increased clarity and purpose in my life.  I have taken away so much from Kat's teaching and private lessons on so many levels - in my practice, mind, heart. Thank you for sharing the wisdom of the teaching of yoga & the treasures yoga offers.

Kat has undoubtedly played an integral part in deepening my practice and developing my own teaching skills. Having experienced her classes and 200 hour teacher training Kat has further ignited my passion for yoga. She confidently and effectively directs awareness to the asana using a mind, body and spirit approach that leaves students feeling connected and present in their practice. By tapping into Kat’s wealth of experience, I have not only learned so much about posture and alignment, but also philosophy - which she seamlessly weaves into her classes in a practical and meaningful manner. Kat has a kind and warm approach to teaching and has a genuine interest in her students progression. As my mentor throughout my 200 hour teacher training, Kat taught me safe and effective assisting techniques that have been invaluable to my journey. It has been a privilege to learn under Kat.

It's been an absolute a joy to study yoga with Kat! I have had the pleasure of doing regular private 1:1 lessons with Kat and have attended 3 of her yoga retreats in the last 6 months.  I did my very first handstand, wheel, and crow pose under her tutelage. Her knowledge, passion, compassion and love of yoga is ever present in her teaching. I look forward to continuing my yoga journey with Kat - she is an incredible teacher and mentor. One always leaves her class the richer in knowledge and awareness.

Doing my 200 hour teacher training with Kat has made such a huge impact toward my life and future self. I’m so grateful for the effort, compassion and meaningful knowledge Kat shared with us. Thank you for being such an inspirational teacher, taking me on and guiding me through this incredible yoga journey -- I hope to give people what you give one day 🙂

Kat is SO in her dharma! We are all incredibly lucky to have a bit of her light within us. I am going to hold Kat’s words + teachings close to my heart as I continue on the path of yoga, as well as in my career and personal life.

Your words really stuck with me when you said, “It’s not about kicking up to handstand, it’s about who you have to become in the process to get there.” As you were there, being the actual catalyst to getting me up to handstand, even if I could only do it for a matter of seconds, I had a real-time glimpse of who that person is, and the journey it’s going to take to overcome those obstacles, to let go of fear and to find a true sense of trust in myself and my capabilities. I couldn’t be more grateful that you had enough belief in me. As a result, that has allowed me to believe in myself too. You really are wonderful, Kat, and I can’t wait to see how many other lives you change throughout your own lifetime!

It has been the start of a life changing journey for me! I really wanted to meet people who have a similar interest in yoga and to be part of a community. I learned a lot about myself and I also learned a lot from the amazing people I met. In the conversations and sessions we had, something profoundly shifted in me. I learned that I can change my habits and that I can grow stronger - not only physically. And how to make time for myself (and for yoga) in my daily life - this was probably the most important lesson for me to learn. I am so grateful for Kat's wisdom and the encouragement she shared and how welcome she made made me feel. I want to send out a special thanks and a big hug to Kat for being such a bright sunbeam!

Big Shout out to Kat Clayton... Your facilitation on the teacher training team and clearing the path for authentic and powerful teachers is heartfelt. My boyfriend just came home [from your yoga retreat] more clear, calm and more conscious. His light radiated out to those around him with no need of even a word. THIS is everything!! THANK YOU for sharing the love! Namaste xxxx

What I love most about Kat is her positive and encouraging energy, her professionalism and her ability to engage and inspire  with her yoga teachings and stories. She has helped me and my fellow Teacher Training peers deepen our yoga practice, build our confidence, skills and knowledge to help us on our journey as yogis and blossom into qualified Yoga Teachers.

Kat's ability to facilitate incredible personal and group transformations shows the love, energy and experience she brings to her work. Kat constantly reminds me there is such depth and breadth within yoga. Her teaching is profound and transformational. As her students, we always feel supported, seen, accepted for who we are - not just on the surface, to feel connected, nurtured and empowered, and comfortable in our own skin.

You taught me so much about myself that I would have never known unless you instigated such beautiful group activities that brought us together in an even stronger way. I can still feel all those loving hands on my shoulder from our group exercise, and I’m going to have that feeling deep within me for the rest of my life.
