Kate van Loon

My name is Kate.  I teach Critical Alignment Yoga, which is aimed at creating a comfortable good posture which allows you to move freely and also to learn to relax your mind more and more easily. I have been doing Yoga for a couple of years. I did my Ashtanga Vinyasa foundation training in 2006 and I taught at the University of Leiden sport’s centre for 3 years.  In 2009 I started practising Critical Alignment Yoga to my great delight. I wanted to learn more about anatomy and Critical Alignment offered just that. My yoga practice has greatly increased since I have started  practising Critical Alignment Yoga.

I have just finished two years of the  Critical Alignment Yoga teacher training. I follow classes at 2 yoga studios at the moment, Paul, and Kina. I started doing yoga because I felt like doing yoga and it turned out that it helped me greatly to feel happy and relaxed.  Apart from studying Yoga I have also studied Intercultural Communication at the University of Utrecht. I wrote my thesis on the benefits of cultural diversity and am very motivated to keep learning about communication and cultural diversity. In my free time I like to sing and I love knitting!

I hope to meet you at one of my Yoga classes. Have a nice day
