ASHTANGA

BALA

Online Shala

Created by a home practitioner, for home practitioners.

I know just how difficult it can be to stay focused, accountable and motivated when you practice alone.

It’s my pleasure to offer my experience and knowledge to help guide you to build more strength and resilience in your Ashtanga practice at home. At Ashtanga Bala, you’ll receive expert guidance to overcome any obstacles, become part of an inspiring online community and make continued progress in your practice.

Classes are ongoing - sign up anytime!

Your Teacher, Kat

  • Kat knows firsthand the ups and downs of home practice—finding the discipline, making space (sometimes literally), and showing up even when life is chaotic.

    She’s been practicing traditional Ashtanga Yoga for nearly a decade, including years of dedicated self-practice at home. Now, as a new mom, she balances practice with family life —between naps, playtime, dog walks, and plenty of cat cuddles.

    She has traveled to Mysore four times, is currently learning Advanced B (fourth series), and loves helping other home practitioners stay motivated and connected to their practice.

“I’m so grateful for Kats online shala. She’s really see me and what I need in my practice. I’m learning so much from her ♥️.”

- Elisabeth, Student

“As a new mother herself, Kat’s online shala has provided me with both the accountability and commitment as well as a safe and flexible space to rebuild my Ashtanga practice after pregnancy. Even though my practices are often short and punctuated these days, I feel that I am building back a better and stronger practice thanks to Kat’s impressive expertise and eye for detail (even on Zoom!).”

- Julia, Student

“Dear Kat, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this incredible online shala. You are inspiring and your teaching is accessible to everyone. Thanks to you I have found faith again. For the first time in a long time, I'm not just saying I can do it, I believe it. You are incredibly precise and know how to make everyone's practice even better. My practice feels much better and safer. I am so happy that you started this program and I look forward to continuing my Ashtanga journey under your guidance. Thank you for being there for us, for sharing your knowledge, your patience and your inspiring nature.”

- Anita, Student

“Kat is offering a very nice and peaceful practice space. I appreciate that she is a good observer, she pays attention to every student, she shares good tips and explains well, and she doesn’t force anything when something is not possible to do. Amazing that all of this is possible online. I am glad to have this Mysore space to learn and practice from home. I wish your Ashtanga Bala online shala will continue for a long time. Thank you Kat.”
