About

Katherine Roe, M.S. RYT

My interest in health and fitness started when I was a young girl. Back then I would rush home from school to watch a yoga program on television. The birthplace of my personal yoga practice began in Queens, New York on my living room floor. As the fitness revolution evolved I tried all kinds of fitness trends and gadgets. During my high school years I taught aerobics in a local gym and adult physical education programs. My classes always have concluded with a relaxation session – those days called the relaxation response. Born to teach, I studied Medical Laboratory Technology, Health Care then Education to realize my dream of being a professional educator. I worked for some years as a New York City Special Education Teacher specializing in behavioral interventions.

.

More recently, yoga & exercise have helped me to develop overall strength and stay energized. Additionally, my meditation practice enables me to focus my mind, enjoy silence and connect with the universal. Self-discovery & empowerment, both physically and mentally are the heart that leads all of my fitness classes.

• Daily Inspiration

  To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
