Meet Kate Collins

Yoga Teacher | Sound Therapist | Reiki Practitioner

Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the first time or returning to your practice after years away, Kate welcomes you exactly as you are.

Since beginning her teaching journey in 2013, Kate has created classes that are known for being warm, inclusive, and community-focused. Her approach combines mindful movement, conscious breathing, and genuine connection, creating a space where students can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and enjoy the company of like-minded people.

With a balance of humour, kindness, and encouragement, Kate’s classes offer far more than physical exercise. They are an opportunity to breathe deeply, quiet the mind, build strength, and leave feeling refreshed, relaxed, and grounded.

Whether you’re seeking greater flexibility, improved wellbeing, stress relief, or simply a moment of peace in your week, you’ll find a welcoming place in Kate’s classes.

Kate’s Approach to Yoga

Kate doesn’t teach one fixed style of yoga. Instead, each class is an intuitive blend of the many traditions she has studied and practiced throughout her own yoga journey.

Drawing inspiration from Hatha, Vinyasa, Iyengar, Yin, Restorative Yoga, Tantra, Buddhist philosophy, and particularly the wisdom of Non-Dual Shaivism, Kate encourages students to let go of the idea of “doing yoga perfectly.”

Her philosophy is simple:

Come exactly as you are.

There is no right or wrong, no need to prove yourself, and no expectation to perform. Yoga is an opportunity to become deeply present with yourself; to meet your body, breath, and mind with curiosity and compassion.

Kate offers different options and hands-on adjustments (where welcomed) so that everyone can practise safely and confidently, regardless of age, experience, or ability.

Her classes are intentionally slower-paced, allowing time to develop strength while creating space for mindfulness and meditation. By moving with awareness, students are invited to quiet the constant activity of the mind and reconnect with the present moment.

For Kate, yoga is about embracing both the yin and the yang, cultivating softness through gentle practices like Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Reiki, and Sound Healing, while also building resilience, strength, and vitality through more dynamic movement.

What You Can Expect

Kate’s classes are designed to be welcoming, supportive, and accessible for everybody.

In every class you’ll find:

• A friendly, inclusive environment
• Mindful movement linked with the breath
• Opportunities to build strength and mobility
• Space to slow down and reconnect
• Modifications for all levels of experience
• A supportive community where everyone is welcome

Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced yogi, you’ll be encouraged to move at your own pace and honour what your body needs each day.
