Kathryn Jolley

Kathryn Jolley took her first yoga class in 1997 and it has been her passion ever since. She found strength and flexibility for her body, relaxation and focus for her mind and a sense of spirit in facing the world.

 

Kathryn completed her 200-hour yoga training 12 years ago and has completed additional

training in Mindfulness, Vinyasa (flow) and Student Adjustments through the Shambhava

School in Houston, PA and Boulder, CO. Kathryn is a Reiki Level II practitioner and trained in

Yoga Nidra, sometimes called “yogic sleep” and has been teaching meditation for the last

five years.

 

Yoga can increase strength, balance and flexibility, key factors as we age. Yoga can reduce

stress and improve sleep, lower heart rate and improve cholesterol. Yoga can reduce

anxiety, help you lose weight and allow you to find joy in living.

 

Kathryn has taught students from the ages of 6 and 85 and loves to help older adults become

more attuned to their bodies in order to maintain and improve their lives.
