Katherine Schaefer

Katherine is a resident of Farmington Hills. She took her first hatha yoga class in 1993 through community ed. and has been hooked ever since. In 1996 one of her teachers asked her to sub a few classes, which led to her teaching on a regular basis. After sustaining an injury, which prevented her from practicing yoga at all, she was introduced to Anusara Yoga. This elegant method of hatha yoga combines biomechanical principles of alignment with the playful spirit of one’s own creative expression. Through her own healing process Katherine realized the importance of alignment and has been dedicated to the study and teaching of it since then. She has had the privilege to travel around the U.S. and other countries to study with many inspirational teachers. Katherine was a certified Anusara teacher from 2007-2011. Presently she continues to follow her heart by studying with teachers from many lineages with a focus on yoga therapy.  She considers her students to be her most important teachers and yoga as a path to freedom.

Katherine teaches private and public classes to people of all ages and levels of capability from therapeutic to advanced. She has also hosted workshops in the Detroit metro area with many relevant teachers from around the country on a regular basis since 2001.

In addition to being a yoga teacher she is a massage therapist, yoga therapist, Vedic Sidereal astrologer and Reiki master/teacher. Katherine's intention is to facilitate each student in unveiling their innate goodness and worthiness by connecting to their own unique power to heal and honor their Truth.
