Instructor
Katarina Simko E-RYT200, CHC is both a Yoga Instructor and certified Health Coach. She specializes in helping her clients get healthy and stay healthy amidst life’s chaos, stress and struggles. Previously a professional dancer, she’s always been fascinated by how the body moves and works. This fascination inspired her to take her 200hr in 2010 with Breath and Body Yoga (Austin, TX) and enroll in Integrative Nutrition Coaching from IIN in 2012. Infusing her love and constant study of anatomy, functional movement and mindfulness, her yoga classes support students to heal and grow yet are approachable.
Katarina has lead health retreats, workshops, and trainings all over the US into Canada. She also teaches Paddleboard Yoga on the Willamette River. Her students range from NIKE employees training for marathons, to retirement community residents in wheelchairs, to city professionals and busy moms looking to de-stress. Katarina hopes to inspire people to use the stressors in their lives to be more courageous, compassionate, and resilient both on and off the mat. Katarina’s favorite ways to recharge are in nature (paddleboarding, hiking, attempting to garden), especially with her husband and son, or on the dance floor with friends.
