Truka is inspired by the sparkle and spontaneity kids bring
to movement and mindfulness. She creates a playful, non-competitive
space for self-discovery in which kids can challenge themselves
in balance and concentration. Through story, connection to nature,
song and cooperative movement, she offers kids yoga's many tools
to anchor awareness in the body as a source of wonder, strength
and agility.
She has been teaching mindful
movement and breath to kids since 1994, including two years
at rural Japanese pre-schools, elementary and middle-schools.
She received her Hatha certification in 2005 at the Integral
Yoga Institute and completed the Street
Yoga, it's
Yoga Kids and Full of Joy

yoga to adults, specializing in restorative yoga which focuses
on calming the nervous system -- an element she also incorporates
in the energetic kids' classes. Above all, Kate hopes to cultivate
in her students a deep kindness towards themselves and others
through yoga.
