KT Sturgis

Teacher

The earnest practice of yoga has profoundly helped me stay present, anchoring my awareness in the here and now. Not only on the mat but also doing the dishes, getting in the car, dealing with challenging moments, etc. My practice heals me, challenges me, and helps me to be ready to share my love and appreciation for this wonderful gift of life that is yoga. 

Why I Practice

I started first as a student of Iyengar in 2011 with John Schumacher and later with my dear Mary Papas. I was not pursuing teaching. I took my training in 2016 just to get better at understanding my own practice and taking it to a higher level. However, I was already teaching friends, coworkers, and the children I worked with at the time; I just couldn't stop. I am a teacher at heart. I love opportunities to assist people who, like me, look for something deep, profound, and transformative. It gives me a sense of purpose. It is just delightful!
