yoga with katy carter
Dynamic Hatha Yoga is a strong flowing practice, drawing on different styles (Iyengar, Astanga, Hatha Flow, 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 three. Having practiced a variety of yoga styles and modalities, she travelled to India to train with Yoga Arts in 2008.
She holds the internationally recognized Yoga Alliance RYT200 teaching certification.
Katy lived, taught and practiced in the UK for 15 years, and returned to NZ two years ago. Katy has been taught and inspired by many teachers, including Donna Farhi, Sarah Powers, Louisa Sear, Annie Carpenter, John Scott, Max Strom. But she owes her deepest learning to the less well-known day-to-day teachers, and of course, to the practice itself.
For Katy, yoga is not just a form of physical exercise, but a holistic 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.
