Yoga teacher Kate Lumsden sees yoga practice as a powerful medicine for the mind and body. Utilizing deep breathing, uddiyana bandha (core support), and rhythmic sequences of postures, she guides her students towards sukha (good space) in the body and sthira (steadiness) in the mind. Kate incorporates anatomic and energetic alignment cues along with Ayurvedic philosophy to create safe, deep, and experiential classes.   She writes the Ayurveda section of our newsletters and has a popular blog about healthy eating and lifestyle choices.   Congratulations Kate on your recent graduation in Ayurvedic Diet and Lifestyle Counseling from Mount Madonna!
