About the instructors:
Katie shares a yoga practice that is accessible to everyone.  She enjoys teaching yoga to children, school teachers, cancer center clients, new mothers, and older adults.   Katie is a student in the Krishnamacharya/Desikachar lineage (sometimes referred to as “Viniyoga”) and is grateful for her teachers who have shared this knowledge with her.  In addition to being registered at the 500 HR level with Yoga Alliance, Katie has completed trainings in children’s yoga, restorative yoga, and yoga nidra.  Most recently, she has been studying Yoga Therapy under the tutelage of J.J. Gormley and Laura Jane Mellencamp as it was taught by T.K.V. Desikachar.  Coming from a twenty-year career in art and illustration Katie loves to use creative exploration in her yoga classes.

Areta has been teaching yoga in Lake Forest and in yoga studios along the North Shore for 10 years, and is E-RYT 500 Certified.  Areta’s passion is bringing yoga to Every BODY, and has additional certifications in Meditation, Adaptive Yoga for Disabilities, Senior Yoga, Love Your Brain for traumatic brain injury, Yoga for Eating Disorder Recovery, Yin Yoga, and Yoga for 12 Step Recovery.  Areta teaches yoga to inspire and empower physical well being, spiritual balance and awakening for everyday life.  She is a long time resident of Lake Forest and a disability advocate and volunteer yoga coach for Great Lakes Adaptive Sports Association (GLASA).
