 About your instructor Katie Grube
Katie began doing yoga over 25 years ago as a core part of movement practice in theatre school, which also included Pilates, Calisthenics, Feldenkrais modern dance conditioning and Alexander Technique. Katie has since developed her own personal practice that led to becoming a certified Registered Yoga Teacher with Reflections Yoga Studio in New York City. Katie has instructed yoga full-time at studios and clinics throughout Orillia and Barrie, and maintained a handful of private students while working with off-ice hockey training at Next Level Sports Performance. After co-owning a local studio in Orillia Katie pursued a Masters Degree in Movement: Teaching and Directing at Central School of Speech and Drama in London, England. Katie's style of yoga became less about specific poses and sequences and more about holistic movement and adaptability to facilitate the success of each individual body. Her classes encourage fun, discovery and experimentation.
