“
Kate has provided the staff of the Toronto International Film Festival with virtual yoga practices during the pandemic and in person sessions since 2021. Her practice is welcoming to all levels of experience and focuses on the aches and pains found commonly in people who work at a desk. I cannot recommend Kate enough and look forward to offering more of her yoga and wellness programming for our staff in the future. ”

“Kate is our go to yoga instructor at TIFF! Kate has such a welcoming way about her allowing all staff to feel comfortable in her class! We can’t wait to continue our partnership with her!”

“Kate is an exceptional yoga teacher who creates a calming and therapeutic environment in her class. Her well-structured private lessons helped me achieve goals I was never able to achieve during years of practicing yoga, and her knowledgeable guidance helps foster a strong mind-body connection. With her calming presence and attention to detail, Kate ensures that I felt seen and heard. I highly recommend her classes for anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice and experience holistic well-being. ”

“Kate Young offers her students a magical and engaging experience that is as energizing as it is restorative. Through movement, sound and meditation, Kate creates a harmonious atmosphere where one is free to explore and evolve their yoga practice. I’m grateful to know and be taught by her, as she has a truly special spirit.”

“Coming to one of Kate’s classes is like joining a yoga community where everyone is welcome. Kate guides her classes with mindfulness, caring, generosity of spirit and a real sense of fun. Every class is different and there are always appropriate variations for everyone. I can not recommend Kate’s classes highly enough and encourage everyone to try a class!”

“Kate Young is one of the most dedicated yogis and Thai Yoga Massage practitioners I have had the pleasure of knowing in 17 years of teaching Thai Yoga Massage. In the six years I’ve known her I can see how she is deeply knowledgeable in her crafts of both yoga and Thai Yoga massage -always learning, practicing and bettering herself. What’s more, she has a gift for helping people feel safe, supported and is able to meet her clients and students where they are and then help them evolve into healthier versions of themselves.”

“Kate is the eighth wonder of the world and she can do wonders for your mind and body! She is a brilliant Thai massage practitioner, Kate combines a knowledgeable, confidant, professional and fun approach to her practice. In just two sessions I felt a huge relief in my muscle tension. You feel immediately at ease in her presence and leave each session relaxed yet energized! Kate is a wonderful yogi, Thai massage guru and person. I highly recommend you take one of her classes.”

“Even though my sessions with Kate were online, her ability to connect with me both physically and mentally helped me get through the lockdowns in 2021. I look forward to continuing my sessions with Kate online and working with her in person once we can all be together again. Namasté.”

“Kate is a gracious and talented teacher. She is that rare find of kindness, wisdom and knowledge all rolled into one. Not only does she lead you through an anatomically sound and safe practice, she encourages mental peace and clarity by continuously drawing you back to the breath. Her presence is so calm and grounding, and this essence translates directly into her teaching style. You can’t help but leave her classes feeling calm and grounded yourself. She is a beautiful balance of intelligent teaching and emotional intelligence.”

“Kate’s style made me fall back in love with yoga after being out of practice for awhile. I find her classes to be the perfect combination of stretch and strength and she is always willing to adapt to whatever her students need. Her music is always great too. ”

“Kate has been leading group classes for some of my clients and the response has been overwhelmingly positive!

Kate has deep practical knowledge and an ability to convey that wisdom to her students, all with a real generosity of spirit and a sense of fun too.

So far, we’ve had some gentle chair yoga classes as well as some traditional mat yoga classes (both passive restorative classes and more active flow classes). Kate offers her group classes in-person or virtually by zoom. All of the participants have enjoyed the classes and it has been a real treat to be able to meet virtually and do something healthy and fun together!

If you have clients and staff who you would like to do something special for, then Kate’s classes will be a treat they’ll all love! Thanks Kate!”

“With the stress of Covid and life changes, I found I was having headaches, TMJ issues and stiffness throughout my body. I decided to explore yoga as an alternative to pain medication and treatment. Kate was referred to me as an instructor that could help me go through my healing process in a safe and supportive manner. In the few months I have been actively working with Kate, I have experienced relief from my TMJ and back pain. Headaches have gone away... My ability to breath properly, move and relax has greatly improved. Kate has been insightful, patient and knowledgeable. Her reassurance and attention to detail has allowed me to focus on this practice and get better.

I look forward to building on the work we have done so far and incorporate yoga into my daily lifestyle.

Thank you Kate. ”

“My personal yoga journey has been widely enriched by Kate’s teachings. She creates a wonderful balance between energizing the body through motion and guiding the mind towards a calm space in this busy world. I thoroughly enjoy her classes, embracing the movements towards building strength and flexibility with a smile on my face.”

“Kate is a warm, empathetic and knowledgeable teacher. I’ve developed my practice by attending a range of classes, which she offers, and I feel like I’ve developed a deeper understanding of how to bring Yoga into other parts of my life. Her classes have brought me more mindfulness, have helped moderate my back pain, and have been a source of regular exercise. And of course, Kate’s got the best playlists in town.”

“Kate is an incredible teacher; consistently inspired and generous. She holds empowering and individualized space for students to connect with and enjoy their body, hearts and yoga practice. I would always finish my classes feeling more attuned to my breath, body and environment and my relationships would benefit from the groundedness and peace. Kate is a heartfelt, gifted and genuine yogi and human and I would wholeheartedly recommend her unique classes to anyone interested in learning and experiencing yoga.”

“Kate is the best yoga teacher I’ve ever had. Her classes help me release my stress - both mental and physical - after a long day of working at my desk, and she always makes sure to take everyone’s individual needs and limitations into account. I can’t recommend her classes enough. ”

“Kate’s appreciation and understanding of yoga, paired with her witty and thoughtful personality makes taking a class with her such a phenomenal experience. Kate always makes her students feel so comfortable through her ability to guide and adjust to your own needs. She uses her extensive knowledge of music to create playlists that enhance and mirror the movement and energy of her classes. So grateful to be able to practice yoga with such a wonderful teacher!”

“Katie is by far the best yoga instructor I’ve ever had. Her classes are the perfect blend of fitness and spirituality where I leave each one of her classes feeling both stronger and more calm. She knows just how much far to push her students to build their practice, but always offers a variety of modifications so each person can tailor the class to fit their individual needs. In addition to being a great teacher, Katie is a warm and vibrant person who is a joy to be around. ”

“Kate has been providing on-site yoga classes for our employees since the summer of 2019, and we can’t recommend her enough! She has a calm and personable nature, and really listens to the needs of the group. She tailors the yoga classes to ensure that they fit the requirements for all members of the group, and manages the pace in a way that allows attendees at different levels of fitness to benefit and enjoy themselves. She teaches a variety of different poses every week, and builds on to what she has already taught to ensure nothing ever feels too repetitive. She is very knowledgeable and insightful in the practice, and is always willing to go the extra mile to accommodate others and be helpful. Her positive, cheerful, down-to-earth personality has resonated with everyone who has had the pleasure of working with her! She makes an effort to personally get to know everyone that she works with and has made a great impact on our Employee Wellness initiatives!”

“I’ve known and practiced yoga with Kate for almost a decade now, and I highly recommend her classes! She has a welcoming, joyful, and grounding energy, and a wealth of knowledge about yoga and Thai massage. You can tell she’s committed to offering her students excellent instruction that’s customized to their needs, as well as a warm and inviting atmosphere for their practice. I love both Kate’s energizing flows, and relaxing restorative classes. She adds elements of Thai massage to her restorative classes, which is amazing! Her classes always leave me feeling relaxed and at ease.”
