Yoga Sharer

Kathleen Thayne

Kathleen took her first yoga class almost 50 years ago at a YWCA in New Jersey. Over the
years she has found a home in the teachings of Yoga and Buddhism.

She is a 200 hr Certified Yoga Teacher by YogaWorks with additional training in the Iyengar
method. She received a certification to teach meditation from Susan Piver’s Open Heart
Project.

Kathleen is now retired from a career in education and non-profit development. She is grateful
and delighted to be able to share her knowledge and experience with seniors throughout the
city.

“I believe that everyone can benefit from yoga, with no exceptions, and Yoga 4 Philly’s mission
of “meeting people where they are whenever they show up…” resonated with me. My approach
is to guide folks in movements that awaken and relax their bodies while being mindful of
individual abilities and preferences. I teach a form of meditation that is simple and available to
anyone. I believe we all benefit from a practice of being still and returning to our own inner
wisdom.”
