about me …

Allow me to share with you the journey of how kat’s yoga deśa began.

My name is Kat. I grew up in competitive gymnastics and always found solace in movement. After decades of comprehensive and intense trainings with little to no gentle movement, I decided to move into a kinder space of Yoga.

I spent a few years slowing down, being consistent in my practice, and taking care of my being. I was called to the jungles of Costa Rica to pursue my 200 hour Ashtanga Yoga teacher training and Reiki certification, where I embarked on a two month journey that would end up being one of the most transformative journey’s of my life.

I focused solely on my practice, self learning/actualization, and in me doing so, unlocked my entire soul and I realized this was my Dharma.

I paid close attention to my inner talk; expressed love, compassion & gratitude and honoured myself throughout, I discovered my playful creativity I once possessed returned and the ideas kept flowing - and never stopped.

Continuing to embrace my roots in movement, wellness, and creativity, I aim to create a nurturing and safe deśa for all beings and bodies. Your presence & energy is valued and respected here.

I am honoured to be here in deśa with you and so grateful to share this journey of mindfulness, self-discovery, and healing with you.

Together, we will cultivate a space where you are free to express yourself and connect with your inner peace and Dharma.

- love kat

About
Red Light Therapy

Red Light Therapy (RLT) consists of exposing the skin/body to infrared and near-infrared light ultimately healing your body from the inside out.

Infrared and near-infrared light penetrates the skin at a cellular level which stimulates the mitochondria. Stimulation of the mitochondria (cell) is what is responsible for its health, growth, reparation, and strength!

Red light is primarily absorbed by your skin and leads to increase in collagen production and optimal skin health.

The benefits of RLT includes but is not limited to;

  • the rejuvenation of skin and cells,

  • boots mental clarity

  • improving overall mood and sleep patterns,

  • assists in wound/scar/blemish healing,

  • reduces muscle pain and inflammation.

RLT for me, has been a crucial step in my morning/ evening routine as it has helped me wake up feeling refreshed & clear in the mornings, helps me decompress which allows me to get a good nights sleep after a long day.

Physically, I noticed my blemishes heal faster, old scars have become lighter, my skin appears to be clearer, and I don’t get blemishes as frequently as I did. I developed a rash on my tummy (see before picture) that turned into a scar. I was saddened to think it would be there forever, until I started using RLT.

Today, it is almost gone (see after picture)! I believe in RLT as it has helped me heal mentally and physically.
