A native of New Jersey, Kathryn made her home in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maine and Seattle before settling in Bend, OR in 2023. She took her first yoga class in 1999 and was surprised by how challenging it was (aren’t we just stretching?) … and how much better (and taller!) she felt both inside and out. She was hooked. It wasn’t until she arrived at Seattle Yoga Arts in 2013, however, that she found her true yoga home and answered her heart's calling to become an instructor. She completed her 500-hour teacher training at SYA under the tutelage of Denise Benitez, Elizabeth Rainey, Amy Reed Aarabi and Ellie Rose among others. Kathryn joined both SYA’s teaching staff and management team in 2015, leaving only when the studio closed in 2022.

It is Kathryn’s heartfelt intention to take the mystery out of yoga by offering classes that combine practical, contemplative themes with intentional, informed, sustainable and playful movement. Community and comradery are encouraged, and laughter can often be heard at some point during a practice!

When not teaching yoga, you can find Kathryn at the beach, in the mountains, out for a run, trying to keep up with her family on the ski slopes or belting out show tunes with her teenage daughter on the way to rehearsals, voice, dance or horse-riding lessons. She is delighted and honored to be joining the Two Dog community! For more classes with Kathryn, visit https://app.ubindi.com/Kathryn.Bouchard
