Kateri is a chemical engineering major and MBA candidate at The University of Alabama. She grew up practicing yoga alongside her mom with DVDs in their living room and developed her own practice as a high school cross-country runner to build strength and recover from injuries. Over time, she discovered yoga wasn’t just for physical recovery, but a way to strengthen both her body and mind. She found herself leaving each class feeling more grounded and ready to take on assignments, work, training, and life with a refreshed, positive mindset. After completing her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at ū4ic Yoga in Birmingham, AL, Kateri now leads dynamic, strength-focused classes designed to help students feel balanced, resilient, and leave feeling better than when they arrived.
