Kate DeRosa Howell

Kate’s classes are designed to empower students to delve deeper into their own practice, exploring each pose with a spirit of curiosity and joyful expectation— not of what can be achieved, but of what may be discovered.

Kate received her teacher training from Wake Up Yoga 2009-2010 under the direction of Corina Benner, Victoria Ladd, and Julie Pogafchesky (of Jai! Yoga). Dedicated to the study and practice of Vinyasa Yoga for nearly ten years, she is eager to share her passion and knowledge with others. Coming from a background in physical theatre, Kate offers an experiential understanding of the relationship between breath and movement garnered from intense study of a variety of disciplines—corporeal mime, aerial dance, Balinese dance, Capoeira, and Commedia dell’Arte— but finds deepest fulfillment in the integration of body and mind through physical yoga practice. Dynamically sequenced and compassionately led, Kate’s classes are designed to empower students to delve deeper into their own practice, exploring each pose with a spirit of curiosity and joyful expectation— not of what can be achieved, but of what may be discovered. Kate takes her seat as teacher with profound gratitude to her teachers, and the teachers who came before, all the way back to the source.
