About KATHY
The practice of yoga is an inside job - not to be beautiful but to bring about beautiful things
Kathy Vanderselt E-RYT, CPT took her first yoga class in 1995 and began a gradual professional shift from fitness training (1987 Singapore National Aerobics Champion) to the practice of yoga. Since 2006 she has accumulated 8,000 hours helping others achieve healthy bodies and quiet minds and has led workshops (including Power Vinyasa Beginner’s Series) and weeklong retreats.
Kathy is certified by the Baptiste Power Yoga Institute and has a passion for an energetic flowing style of yoga with an emphasis on core strength but with more than 30 years in the fitness industry she has worked with everyone from yoga kids to an older, active adult population.
She is certified by the Amrit Yoga Nidra Professional Training Institute and particularly enjoys sharing meditation. Kathy graduated summa cum laude from Temple University with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications and is also a certified personal trainer.
PRIVATE YOGA offerings
Yoga Styles to Consider
Beginner/Gentle – Beginner’s sessions are ideal for ensuring proper alignment and exploring the basic building blocks of any style of yoga. These sessions, however, are equally appropriate for experienced students seeking to deepen their practice because in yoga philosophy “we are all beginners,” when we practice yoga with an open mind. All sessions are conducted with a balance of strength and flexibility, done mindfully and with precise and easy to follow cuing.
Vinyasa Flow – Ideal for those who enjoy a more active, fluid, heat building style of yoga while remaining focused on mindfully connecting breath to movement.
Calming Restorative – Restorative yoga uses various props which support the body in its ability to slowly return to its natural state of health and vitality. These sessions may also incorporate Yoga Nidra which is a sleep based meditation technique.
Adaptive/Chair – Chair yoga can be curated to the needs of the practitioner so it appeals to not only those seeking an alternative to mat yoga but also to students recovering from injuries or with long standing illness or trauma.
HOW DO I START
Call, You can start by calling now or scheduling a time for Kathy to call you. Our first conversation will reveal your goals, preferences and availability and help discover whether working together will be a good fit for your needs.
Schedule, I will come to your preferred location for a ½ hour complimentary session. If I am the right fit for your needs, I ask clients to commit to meeting at least once per week. Your time commitment per session is one hour (50 minutes of yoga)
What Are Your Rates, Private yoga rates are comparable to personal training and bodywork rates. I’ll give you a quote on our phone conversation.
What Supplies Do I need, Yoga items are personal items so you’ll need a mat, two blocks, a blanket (or towel) and a strap. If you don’t have everything for the introductory session no need to be concerned, I will bring sanitized items with me.
Can You Do Zoom Sessions, Yes! Zoom sessions for one-on-one personal yoga as well as group yoga can be arranged.
GROUP YOGA SESSIONS
Part of the joy of living in Paradise (Marco Island) or traveling here on vacation is the year round ability to easily fit group yoga into your schedule and lifestyle, whether that be on the beach, at your condo, your home or even your workplace.
One of Kathy’s strengths is a depth of experience working with groups of all ages and abilities. Her tried and true approach is to teach any size group with appropriate modifications (make it easier) or with amplifications (make it more challenging) ensuring a safe and rewarding experience for all.
So whether you live on island and wish to gather your yoga community for a regular weekly practice at your chosen time and location – or you are visiting our island for just a short time - there is nothing as rewarding as yoga for celebrating special occasions, strengthening camaraderie among friends and family and together building a lifetime commitment to health and wellness.
Contact Kathy today to discuss yoga styles and group requirements/preferences and to get a price quote based on the size of your group.
