When you meet Kat, you’re met with warmth and sincerity—you can sense the person in front of you is genuine and passionate. I was lucky enough to work with Kat during my 200-hour yoga teacher training, through regular practices, and several workshops. However, the best decision I’ve made was to deepen my practice and work with Kat one-on-one. During this time, my practice was elevated to a level that I could never have even imagined. Through adjusting my asana and integrating mindful pranayama work, my experience with yoga has completely changed. I’d say it was my “ah ha” moment. The actual feeling of connection between body and mind finally clicked and so did my energy levels. I’m continually amazed by how Kat is so in tune with exactly what I need. Kat has been and continues to be such an inspiration and motivator along my journey, and for that, I truly am so grateful.

Kat is extremely knowledgeable and very approachable and has a sound understanding of working with injuries. Kat has worked with me in private lessons 1:1 to help me modify my yoga practice to cater to my injuries and capabilities. More importantly, Kat has continued to support and encourage me on my journey as I grow and strive to learn more. I feel even more blessed to have her continue as my private Yoga Teacher & Mentor to continue to help me develop as a teacher and to deepen and strengthen my yoga practice, skills and knowledge.

Taking private lessons with Kat took my yoga to the next level! Her private lessons were amazing! I learned loads from the very first session. We got back to the basics and she challenged me to really push myself and find my edge in every pose (in a wonderfully supportive way). Kat has a fantastic energy and enthusiasm for the practice. I was really impressed with her ability to explain poses and ideas, as well as her descriptive cues - I finally understood cues I'd heard for years! I'm so glad I've been able to work with her!

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.

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.

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!

My teacher, Kat Clayton, has been a significant change agent in my life over the past six months. I completed the 200 hr YTT with her and have continued having private lessons with Kat to deepen my yoga practice. I have learnt more about the intricacies of alignment and how to ensure I look after my body. I have autoimmune issues, so movement and looking after my body and mind is very important for my quality of life. Kat has been an amazing mentor not only helping with my practice but assisting me in deepening my understanding of the philosophy of yoga.
