Work with me
“Kate does a great job giving alternate ways to get into poses, and by doing so, her students are trying things they normally may not try, simply because she makes it seem so much more accessible.”
“I have noticed, through my practice with Kate, that I am much more inclined to try something new and push myself deeper into poses I previously thought unattainable for me. THANK YOU!”
“I started taking yoga 2 years ago due to ongoing back pain, it relieved my back pain very quickly and opened up a new form of exercise that I had never done.”
“I always feel better after class.”
“Yoga with Kate is fun. She taught me to listen to my body with compassion instead of judgment. I have discovered strength and grace I never thought I had.”

Yoga in the workplace
Allow me to introduce your staff to the benefits of yoga through workplace yoga classes. My integrative approach to yoga incorporates mind and body explorations that work in unison to bring balance to one’s life. This stress reducing technique is an inexpensive, convenient, and personal way to make your workplace a positive, tension-free environment.
This type of program can increase production and work performance, improve work morale, decrease physical and mental tension and provide endless benefits to your employee’s lives. Yoga will create a healthy work environment where employees feel empowered to face job related challenges and carry a sense of focus, freshness and balance throughout their day.
Please email me at KateConnellYoga@gmail.com to set up a time to meet and discuss how we can bring yoga to your workplace in the form of workshops, regular classes, and more!
Yoga Parties
Gather your closest pals and set up an at-home yoga class with me. I bring the yoga and you supply the yogis to form a portable yoga class designed to bring you and your friends closer to mind/body balance.
From classes to workshops to semi-private sessions, let’s coordinate a unique yoga experience for you and yours. Yoga parties are a way to share an authentic yoga experience with your friends.
Let’s start brainstorming! Shoot me an email at KateConnellYoga@gmail.com to plan your next yoga par-tay!
Everything Else
If you can dream of it, we can collaborate on it. I’ve taught at outdoor festivals in the middle of downtown Iowa City, done workshops for special population teens, hooked up with sororities for sisterhood events, and delivered some relaxation to UI students during the stress of finals week. Let’s brainstorm on ways to make yoga fun and accessible for your group.
Workshops
I regularly am whipping up workshops designed with special populations in mind. Think bikers, triathletes, beginners, partners, dudes!, the list goes on. If you have an idea, shoot me an email let’s co-create some magic! If you are interested in taking a certain type of workshop to deepen your practice drop me a note and continue to follow along for updates. Tentatively, I teach a themed public workshop every other month. And I am always willing to travel.
