yoga with katy carter

Open-Level Dynamic Hatha is a strong flowing practice, drawing on different styles (Iyengar, Astanga, Shadow and Yin), incorporating many of the fundamental postures of Hatha yoga.


The practice focuses on the synchronization of breath and movement, allowing the body to open slowly, gracefully, and precisely. We move through a gradually building series of vinyasas (flowing with the breath).


Each class has a slightly different emphasis, and Katy offers options throughout to cater for all levels including beginners. She emphasizes correct alignment, but also encourages students to honour their own level, cultivating an attitude of acceptance and compassion towards themselves, and building an awareness of their own unique body.


Students will develop strength and suppleness, but also a sense of mindfulness, of peace, space and presence.


Katy Carter teaches dynamic hatha yoga classes around central Auckland. Katy has been practicing yoga for 13 years, and teaching for the last two-and-a-half years. Having practiced a variety of yoga styles and modalities, she then travelled to India in January 2008 to train with Yoga Arts. She holds the internationally recognized Yoga Alliance RYT200 teaching certification.


Katy has been fortunate to have practiced yoga in the UK, Europe, India, Bali and New Zealand. She taught in London for a year, then returned to live in her native New Zealand, and continues to study and teach in workshops and classes. Katy had the privilege to work with Donna Farhi in Auckland in April 2010, and has been taught and inspired by many other amazing teachers, such as Sarah Powers, Louisa Sear, Annie Carpenter, John Scott, Max Strom, and others less well known, but nonetheless influential and great teachers.


For Katy, Yoga has become not just a form of physical exercise, but a way of living – literally a ‘science and art of life’. Katy firmly believes that yoga creates energy, vitality, balance, space, a sense of peace and well being, helping you feel better and more alive.

New classes!

Next week I'll be teaching a Tuesday morning class at unitec sports centre, so all you early birds out there, brave the dawn and arise! 06.30 - 07.30

Next Tuesday also sees the second week of the yoga basics 6 week course. Week 1 had 15 newbies and not-so-newbies in it, and went down a treat! A little haven of yoga loveliness in the gym - we created.

Saturday mornings have dropped off lately, we need a few more students to keep the class running - surely there's a demand? Support support support, keep your blissful saturday start to the weekend!

Peace light and love
