“This is my dharma, to help others to connect with their true Self.”— Katherine Austin

Katherine Austin, owner, teacher, national new-thought speaker, workshop presenter and entrepreneur, opened Karma Yoga in 2003 with the intention for creating a business that provided metro Detroit with true yoga – living yoga your yoga, in all its wonderfully inspiring forms.

Inspired by a higher power to build a business that helps people improve their lives, Katherine Austin, E-R.Y.T., opened Karma Yoga in 2003 to provide yoga that transforms people in mind, body and spirit. A dedicated student of Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Anusara and Kundalini Yoga and a dedicated teacher and workshop presenter, Katherine guides her students with a unique blend of strength, detail and compassion drawn from her own personal practice on and off the mat – as a yoga teacher, a business owner and a mother of three grown sons.

Certified in Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Kundalini Yoga and The Khalsa Way Prenatal Yoga, Katherine has studied with many leading instructors, including Shri K, Pattabhi Jois, Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa, Harijiwan, Tej, Shiva Rea, Sharon Gannon and David Life, David Swenson, Tim Miller, Beryl Bender Birch and Jonny Kest. Katherine is also a teacher of The Heart-Based Meditation Technique.

Katherine is also Host & Producer of her local cable TV show: Living Karma Yoga TV as well as a regular blogger on Karma’s site.

“I opened Karma Yoga in 2003 with the intention for our students to experience what yoga really is: The union (yoga means ‘to yoke’) of the individual self with the infinite self. My mission is to teach people to take their yoga off the mat and into their lives. With so much stress, disease (a.k.a. dis-ease) and illusionary fear ruling the planet, I help others unfold, let go and reveal the fullness, love and light that lives within them.”
